Happy New Year!

At last, I can post! It's been very hectic with all the company we've had and then making a quick trip to Charleston for NYE. I'll try not to make this a novel...

So a recap>> Christmas was wonderful. I was happy Noah's sister and her family were able to make it down for Ava's first Christmas. I think we all were more excited for it than she was. Most of the presents seemed to be for her under the tree and now I have more toys I know what to do with or have room for. Next Christmas will be even better I think.

We went up to Charleston to celebrate New Year's with my cousins and Ava's cousins. It was nice to spend time with family.

The break was nice but too short and getting up for work this morning was tough. Ava hasn't been in her routine for 2 weeks and we're finding it hard to get her used to sleeping in her room again. I guess it doesn't make it any better that she is sick. Again. But hopefully we'll all get back into the swing of things in the coming weeks.

2010 was a great year and it seemed to fly by. Ava was born and we've just had an amazing time enjoying every little thing with her. 2011 looks to be another great one. We have so much planned and I can't wait.

So what's in store for 2011?

• Ava's first birthday party! I am already in the planning process and I can't wait to tell you all about what I have planned (I've save it for another post)
• Mimi aka Patty aka Noah's mom is retiring! Sarah and I are planning her retirement party hopefully this come Memorial day.
• Ava's first plane trip to California! We are going for my dad's navy reunion in San Jose this summer. We plan to visit San Fransisco and maybe Vegas too-- two places I've never been to.
• Mimi is treating all her kids and grandkids on a cruise! Sweet huh? We are planning on going for Thanksgiving. I haven't been on a cruise before so I am soo excited!
• Our first family vacation. Not sure where that will be just yet but it's going to happen!

So much to look forward to!
