finally : THE UPDATE!

We just returned from a lovely trip out west for Christmas! :) my family gave us the royal treatment as they fed and cared for us for 12 days!! we had a green and white Christmas (the snow fell and melted... it was very pretty..) with all the fixings. my mother is a great cook and hostess. i got to spend a lot of time with my sister and her kiddies, which was fabulous!! FABULOUS!! we have so much fun together. :)

well. i'll get on with more pics, since there are A LOT!!
happy new year!
