The Happiest of Holidays

Our Christmas holiday was so fun.  Fun doesn't even begin to describe it.  This year was so different because we were really able to experience things through the eyes of Berit.  She could open presents (sort of), light up with excitement, and just melt your heart.  The best part of the trip by far was watching her play with all of her cousins. 

After Christmas we had yet another bright spot on our itinerary.  For my birthday we flew from Albuquerque to Dallas, and spent 3 days in Dallas with Jennifer, Chris, Emma and Katie.  Probably my best birthday yet! 

Then, back to Albuquerque for one more day with Mom and Dad, Ruthie and her family, and Judy and Peter before they went back to North Carolina.  It was great to have everyone together one more time before we went our seperate ways.  These pics below are just priceless.   Pure cousin love! 

Here's hoping that 2012 brings us just as much JOY!
