Family Pictures

Here are our family pictures both Christmas and Violet's 18 month shots. We had a lot of fun downtown.
Nathaly again did a beautiful job. Her website is surinaphotography.blogspot.com.

Nursery Girl!

We can't believe that Violet is in nursery now! But we are grateful that she can play with other kids her age at church now, instead of running around the church with us. On her first day she went in with no problem, I was told that she loved the music and would clap her hands but if the door opened she wanted to go out and look for her dad. But she did really well for her first time.

Christmas parties

Here I am at my churches Christmas Party. My Mom & Dad were Mary and Joseph for the play this year. They did a good job with their lines.
