Clean Teeth and A Birthday Party...

Ivy had her first dentist appointment last week. They said she has BEAUTIFUL teeth and that "someone" is doing a great job brushing them (I gave myself a big pat on the back for that one).

Here's Ivy in the chair - she thought it was fun...

Having her teeth counted and checked for various things like wiggly teeth, cavities, plaque, etc.

Now for the cleaning part - She wasn't scared of the cleaner thing or the water or the sucker-hose.

Now the dentist comes in to double-check everything.

All done!!!

And here are a few pictures of Ivy at a birthday party she was invited to recently. She had a great time!

New Arrival...

This is a little late but...

Baby Winston arrived!!!

(Here he is on his birthday)

Here's me and my brother, Craig, with our babies (Ivy was running around somewhere).

These little cousins are about 3.5 months apart.

And just a sweet picture of Ivy and Emily...

Christmas...

I'm so sorry I haven't updated lately. I just can't seem to get enough time to get the pictures off the camera, onto the computer, and then onto the blog. So here are some quick pics from around Christmas...

Emily's first time in the high chair - I thought she'd like sitting at the table with us...guess again...

Bundled up to walk to Grandmama's house...

Here is Emily in the morning before she woke up.

Christmas celebration #1 at Grandma Pat's and Grandpa Dick's house...

Christmas celebration #2 with Paw Paw and Great-Uncle Colby...

Our Elf on the Shelf - his name is Geoff...

Christmas celebration #3 was with Grandmama and Grandpa.

My Mom bought both girls tea sets and then Dave made them each a cabinet to go with it.

Christmas celebration #4 - Christmas morning at our house...

More to come...I have a couple of posts ready to go...just have to post them!! Check back soon!

After Christmas...

We were planning to head to the beach the day after Christmas...

This is what we woke up to...

Ivy loved sledding

Even the dogs liked the snow!

We headed down to Edisto Beach, SC the day after the snow. Here are a few pics from our beach trip..

The first few days of January...

We rang in the New Year while down at Edisto Beach...

Here's Ivy enjoying her New Years bubbly... It was just sparkling grape juice. She made it all the way to midnight. Then got up at like 7 that morning. :) Lovely....

Our last full day at Edisto, we ventured back to Botany Bay. Google it if you have time. It's a very cool place.

You have to walk like a half mile from the parking area to the actual beach.

Here are a few from our walk to the beach...

Ivy with Aunt Judy (left) and Aunt Sandy.

A self-timer picture of me and Ivy...

And of course we can't leave out a picture of Emily - she is finally getting a bald spot on the back of her head... Good thing she can wear hats since it is cold outside!!
