The end of our year, Part 1....

I finally have some time to get these up. The pictures take awhile to post and I have so many I wanted to share (can you see my BIG smile - I love my new camera, my husband ROCKS!!).
It is a long post, mostly pictures, about the great time we had ending out 2006 with family and friends!! ( Post is split into a few parts to add all of the pictures!)

Freeport, NY:


Bell just loves the mirror mom keeps on the floor in the living room, just her height. She also found some red plastic Christmas balls on strings that she played with ALL weekend!! Oh, and she now loves to wear her hats, both inside and outside!

Danielle and Gianna,

Isabella loves her new Bear Blanket (BB as we are calling it) from Aunt Denise and Uncle Dave!

Grandma and Grandpa with Bell.

The three cousins playing with Bell's playsilks.

The Old Gang:
Michelle had all of us over her house on Friday night and we had a great time!! It is so wonderful to get to see my friends when I get back to NY. We miss you guys!!
