Merry Christmas and Happy New Year!!

Merry Christmas and Happy New Year!

Lately Sophia loves to push Ethan on our little bus...

We had a great time visiting with Uncle David who flew all the way from California!

We spent the Sunday before Christmas at Steve's parents' house in Hingham... Ben and Steve had fun catching up!

All of the Gregoire kids... Anna, David, Ethan, Steve, Sophia, Ben, Gail, and Jessica...

Grandpa Bernie, Sophia, Ethan, and Grandma Chrisanne...

Sophia built her first block tower (to the left of her in the picture)...

For Christmas, we went to Gram's house in Connecticut. My sister Elaine and her kids Sarah and Ben also joined us there. It was so much fun!

The stockings that I made for Sophia, Ethan, and Steve. I also made one for myself, but for the sake of tradition decided to use the stocking that my mom made for me (the angel one peeking out between Ethan and Steve's stockings).

Sarah walked Sophia all over the house...

I had another hernia surgery the day after Christmas. The surgery went well and I'm recovering quickly. I can't pick the kids up for three weeks after the surgery, so we've hired a couple sitters to help out.

Steve and Chloe (our sitter) have been walking Sophia and Ethan all over the house...
