This Christmas was so festive with family and friends! Christmas Eve we were invited to Kathy and Jay's house (Kathy's son is one of Scott's good friends from college, Tim). Tim and his wife, Jodi, were in town from Long Island and so we were so excited to spend time with them and Tim's family. It was such a fun night of great conversation and Brooke had a blast!
Brooke and Tim! She loved playing with Tim and Jodi!

The "hosts" ... were so wonderful! The food was delicious.

Christmas morning was spent at our house with me, Scott, Brooke, and Roxy. Santa came and was so good to Brooke and all of us!!

Christmas afternoon we headed to my Mom's house. My sister and her family came and it was so meaningful for Mom to have us all together at her new house for the 1st time. The kids and all of us had a blast.

On New Year's Eve we went to
Longwood Gardens with Scott's Mom, John John, and Tony. So festive and it was the perfect NYE!

The group at the Gardens...
It snowed about 3 inches when we were up there. We wanted Brooke to be able to sled so we tried it even though there was hardly any snow left! She had a blast and they actually went fast down the hill....
