It was great to have Caroline, John and Mailee, Liz, Fred and Liam home for 2008 Christmas. We enjoyed every minute of it starting from Dec 20 to Jan 2.
As for Mailee, she had a very good start in our RHYHILOB family... 1)she attended Christmas Caroling Mass at St. Elizabeth Seton Church; 2) she had Chateaubriand dinner on Christmas' Eve, followed by our traditional gifts exchange; 3)she had our traditional turkey Christmas Dinner despite Uncle Fred had to work on Christmas Day; 4) she had a one-month old party on Dec 26 so that she can meet her Mom and Dad's as well Grandma R's friends; and 5) finally, she had the New Year's Eve party with more foods and drinks to ring in the New Year.
We thank you the Lord for all of these blessings ... having each other with good health and true friendship. We look forward to having another great year of love, hope, peace and prosperity.
John and I celebrated our 5th anniversary at our good friend Todd's wedding on December 29, 2007. Going home to the DC area to be near family and friends that we moved far away from 5 years ago made us realize how lucky we are! We have remained so tight with our high school and college friends AND have also made so many new amazing friends through our adventures with the Navy. Moving around so much makes it tough to keep in touch on all the latest and greatest happenings so we are hoping blogging is the answer!
We plan on posting lots of pictures and updates as we start our new lives here in Anacortes, WA. With a new baby on its way and major home renovations to our 1900 Victorian we will surely have lots to share. We hope that we can read up on all of our favorite people on their new blogs too! Happy Blogging!
