Trip home and back

While I will say air travel leaves much to be desired, our time at home more than made up for the method of transportation :o) We had a great time seeing family and friends! Here's a few highlights from the visit.

We celebrated Christmas with my mom, Mark, Chloe and Ariel. Scarlett LOVED her princess jammies.


Scarlett and Ali met up for the 3rd time. They grow up so much between each visit!

We had a great lunch and visit with the old "gang" - me Sarah and Courtney. This was the first time all 3 of us have been together since Scarlett arrived!


Scarlett had some more playmates on Sunday. Macie and Scarlett sat and watched the Disney princess movie together. Martin is nowhere to be found. Boys just aren't into princesses!
Uncle Colin came out for the afternoon and was able to entertain "miss ladybug" for the day.


We so enjoyed seeing everyone! The trip was great! And I learned important lessons in air travel. A - they will charge you $15 for your FIRST piece of checked luggage and B - no matter how cute and sweet they may appear, babies have to take their shoes off for security too.

Excuse me, miss, do you have a license for that?

Scarlett made the most of a trip to Lowe's by trying out the awesome racecar buggy. She had a great time!

Look at my little Cajun

She's eating her Popeye's like a true Louisianian :)

My first softie

I made my first "softie" tonight from the book Colin gave me for Christmas. It's a mini cake complete with whipped topping. I made it for Scarlett to use as a part of her Disney Princess tea party that she's hosting daily now. I hope she enjoys it (and doesn't rip it to pieces since it took me 2 hours!)

More Christmas!

We didn't get a whole lot of pictures from our visit with dad, Jill and Colin this weekend, but here are a few cute ones!

Christmas 2008

We had a very nice Christmas here in Metairie this year. We definitely missed not being able to be in Georgia, but did have a good time setting up Santa and watching Scarlett get very excited about her presents this year! Here's a few pictures and a link to the full album.

With her "ppuhh" aka princesses.

More princesses
Carrying around princess presents (anyone see a theme here yet?). She will only touch the presents with princesses on them. Hasn't touched a single other one yet. In fact, she likes to make princess present piles by picking the princess presents out from between the other presents under our tree.
