Happy New Year!! Its about time...

Hi all! Just like the title says, it's about time that we put up another blog to sum up the end of 2011! Of course, we apologize for leaving you hanging, in complete suspense, for the past two months. ;-) For those of you who have just joined us... welcome!! We will try our best at getting you acquainted with the many characters from our lives.

Ok, first we start off with a few photos from one of our very best friend Mary-Alice's birthday...

Then there was Thanksgiving! We started off at our friend John's lovely home, and then headed up to Thousand Oaks to spend the rest of the day with Tanya's family!

Now let's jump ahead to Christmas day spent at Justin's house in Los Angeles! Dad B, Mamma B, and Grandma Gussie all joined in (while Vanessa, Matt, and Blake adventured off to Arizona to be with his wonderful family for the holiday) and what a great Christmas it was!
