Christmas #2

We spent Christmas in Lynchburg with the Schmitts- we drove up Saturday and stayed until Wed. It was a great trip filled with lots of family time and good eats! Unfortunately my brother Hal could not make it in for the holiday but we did get lots of triplet time as soon as Kevin and Bryn arrived on Sunday.

Here is a shot of the fam- Nate is holding Akula (we didn't want him to feel left out) then me- holding Ryan, Kevin, Bryn holding Katherine, Mom and Dad holding Brendan! Everyone managed to look at the camera for this photo- which is amazing! The babies are all doing great! They are about 5.5 months old and are all weighing in at 14+lbs! Brendan is the largest right now, Katherine has the most hair (and it is an adorable red!) and Ryan is holding his own as the most easy going (at least when we are around! ) I had some good baby bonding time and had the pleasure of teaching them all about stockings and the bounty that comes with the birth of Jesus (I am their Godmother, so I tried my best to intertwine some religious teachings with those of Christmas commercialism)

Bryn and Kevin are doing great, and have three very beautiful, healthy and happy babies- we will see them again soon, and I can't wait- they (the babies) change every time we see them!

Christmas morning!!

Nate and I holding some new books- Barefoot Contessa for me, and some Jackson Hole and fly-fishing ones for Nathan.
"Read your own books!"

Nate's proud of his new waders-

hopefully by the time we get to jackson Hole next summer for our friend Jenn's wedding we will have been fly-fishing enough around NC to look like pros :)

We somehow managed to get NO photos of our delicious dinner spread - nor did we get any pics of the desserts of the season- lots of chocolate- mousse and pudding pies and pecan pie- not to mention chocolate chip cookies and peanut butter delights (my new name for a cookie we made)

After a few great days in Lynchburg with the fam (though it never seems long enough) we headed back home to Charlotte - with kayaks attached to the top of our vehicle- my parents have graciously let us borrow their kayaks- see the next post- and many fun new gifts!

(I will do another post with some cute baby photos)

We hope everyone had a wonderful holidays!
