Christmas 2011

We had Christmas this year in Texas with my family & Thom's family.  Lots of fun fellowship and eating (oops).  Once again, my blog is mostly pictures, not a lot of writing.  Enjoy!

Ayotte 4 with Poppy, Mum, Uncle Brian and Aunt Tyler.  I love my crew. : )

My crazy girls.  Uncle Glenn sent fun hats from Maine.

The Ayotte 4 with the Ayotte 3: Hank, Joanne, Lydia (Thom's parents & sister)

Thom's parents sure love their little peanuts :)

Lola Belle saves her best snuggles for her Mum.  I love my beautiful Mom!

Poppy & Mum got the girls a new wagon for Christmas...

Grandad Cravey & little Giada being silly....

Aunt Jana brought us a Gingerbread House kit.  Lola was EXTREMELY excited about it, as you can see.  What a fun big-girl project for Lola!

Little Giada

Tradition over the years - My little brother, Brian, & I have TONS of picures in this tree outside of Nana's house. 

Now my girls have the tree picture too.

 Christmas was a very happy time, watching the girls really enjoy the activity and spending lots of time with our family.  Even thru all the good times, a part of us was still very sad, because Nana wasn't here this year.  We love & miss her.  Thankful I will see her again in heaven.

Hope everyone had a Merry Christmas & Happy New Year!

Love,

Thom, Lauren, Lola Belle, and Giada Claire-Anne
