Happy New Year!

Happy New Year everyone!! This year Sam and I decided to throw a fancy party at our house for New Years. I had fun decorating as you'll see and of course the outfits were fun! I started out in my wedding dress, as did Emily...but later changed into my prom dress...yes it still fits, I suck, I know, haha. Actually it is a bit tight but that's better than it hanging on me like it did in high school. Anyways we had tons of fun, thank you to everyone who came by! (More than just the 5 people pictured above showed up, I promise!)

Christmas 2008

Belated post but it's been a busy couple of weeks! We had a great x-mas eve at Church and dinner at my Aunt Brenda's. That next day we opened gifts, had a late lunch or early dinner, whichever you want to call it, ha. Technically this year we should have been at Sam's parent's house but we wanted to stay around and wait for our nephew to be born (and as you can see on the post just before this one, he was born on 1/1/09!). It was a great Christmas, next year we'll have a little baby with us! Though Sam and I will be in England, ha. Hope you all had a great Holiday!

MY NEPHEW IS HERE!

At 10am today my sister gave birth to a GORGEOUS baby boy!!! I am so excited! I got a call at 2:30am (while cleaning up and drinking champagne from a bottle, still throwing our new years eve party) from Austin saying they were on their way to the hospital, having contractions. At 3am, the text said her water broke and also told me to go to bed so I could be ready in the morning. At 8am I got a call from Natalie saying it was going to be within about 3 hours. We got to the hospital at 9, gave Natalie a quick kiss on the cheek, by 10am (after only 15 minutes of pushing!!!) my nephew was born!!! 9 pounds, 3.5 ounces and very long (we don't have an exact measurement yet). Natalie did amazing and looks great, Austin was smiling ear to ear!!! Here are some pics, I'm so proud of my new perfect nephew, Harrison Joseph Crossley!! Happy New Year and Happy Birthday Harrison!!!
