Happy 2008!

And wow. It's over. I can't believe it's the beginning of a new year! Christmas was spent at my mom's with my family. The Christmas celebration lasted like 4 days!

2 days before ChristmasWe ate and drank at my mom's. My step-sister and her family were here for the holidays from New Jersey. It was nice to see Sam and Lizzie together again.
There was a lot of karaoke...and if I have to hear Felis Navidad or Dancing Queen one more time I'm going to shoot myself!
It's rare that we are all together.. I wish that we spent more time together when they were here. I still didn't get to take the family picture with all the kids and all of us at the park. Can you imagine how hard it was to get all these kids to stay in one place. Out of 30 shots this is the best one:
And for some reason all the family pics of the adults are in my mom's kitchen with drinks!
You'd think that the college student would last the longest with all the shot taking...NOT! He passed out first and even soooooooka! (ewww) Even the kids were laughing at him!

Christmas EveWe spent at my mom's again, this time with my mom's family. My cousins and I hung out and chilled. Grubbed down and opened gifts early! Alexa got an upgrade to her chair...a loveseat-sleeper!
And Alex with his new Allay hooded turtle-scarf:
Didn't take a whole lot of pictures during the holidays. Carla got a new Nikon D40 so she took much more. (CARLA...SEND ME XMAS PICTURES PLEASE!!!) Lex even got a nice new camera after Christmas. He is eagerly learning how to play around with his camera. He's taken some good ones so far, but I think that he likes the cool camera strap the most :)

New Year's Eve was so chillWe spent the night at my aunt Mher's. Sung karaoke until everyone slept. We had a sip of champagne for the countdown, but that's it. No hats or noise makers, or getting super drunk...just the fam. Alexa wasn't too happy about all the singing though. Check out her facial expression when I'm singing. The girl is seriously bothered.

Happy 17th months Alexa!
She is now 17 months and 3 days old today.
This is one of the first pictures of the new year.

babystyle was having a great sale after christmas, and I was able to get 6 outfits for under $30! That's a steal for that store. One outfit was this jumper. I absolutetly LOVE one pieces. It's just easy. The cute ones at babystyle are like dressy onesies to me!

This year is starting out great.
