Watch out American Idol!

Nicole's latest thing is to pull out the step stool, stand up on it and give us a performance. We told her that she doesn't have to stand on the stool to sing to us, we would still listen, but she insists on using it as her stage. She gets her singing talent from her dad (the forgetting the words part, too).

Christmas Lights at Longwood

We were able to stop by the gardens the last night they had their Christmas lights up. It was beautiful, as always. Nicole's favorite part had to be the Thomas train. It was pretty cool.

Happy New Year!

OK, I'm a little late. But I guess now is as good a time as any to say that and to get some pictures posted from our past month or so. We were able to spend Christmas in Utah with our families, so we kept busy and had a lot of fun.

We celebrated 4 birthdays while we were there, spent time with great-grandparents, grandparents, cousins, aunts, uncles, and old friends.

And Nicole? Poor girl. We found out that she had an ear infection and pneumonia while we were there. But she handled it all really well, and did great on both flights. We were lucky enough to have an open seat for her on both flights (I don't know what we would have done otherwise!).

We had tons of fun and are so glad that Nicole got to see all of her family. She learned so many new words while we were there, and there was never a dull moment (except for the time when she fell asleep on Alex's lap while he was playing the xbox - she must have been really sick because she NEVER does that)!
