We had such a great Christmas! Ashton was at the perfect age. She had no expectations of gifts, santa, etc. She just enjoyed the ride and was full of excitement and wonder as each present and Christmas tradition came along.

You'll see pics from our time at home in Atlanta - Ashton and I made cookies, and we hung an advent calendar so she could count down the days until Christmas. Each pocket in the calendar contained a note, toy, or treat each day that she LOVED opening.

Then we flew to Ohio for Christmas. Ashton really loves to fly and got very excited about going on an airplane again. She got to see her Nana, Papa Frank, Danpa, Unlce Jake and Auntie Amber, Great grandma and grandpa Hackett, Great grandma and grandpa Chimento, plus all of Brendan's aunts, uncles, and cousins!

We all had a blast, and are now trying to recover!

Today, Adeline Clare Fease was born to our dear friends Jen and Dan (next door neighbors). She was 9lbs 7 oz and 21.5 inches long! They are calling her Ada, and Ashton has already deemed her "precious".
