January






This month we decided to take a short trip to the Smoky Mountains. We rented a small cabin and were lucky enough to be there when it snowed! It was so pretty, and and I'm glad Adam got to see his first snow this year. Other than that, we've just been hanging around at home. Michelle has left Pensacola and has moved on to Meridian Mississippi, so Adam and I have to fend for ourselves until Steve gets home from work. Needless to say, we miss her very much and now we have to get used to being a smaller family. Adam has been working on crawling and pulling up to standing by himself. For now, I'll enjoy the fact that I don't yet have to worry about him scooting all over the place causing trouble!

Christmas Day






We had a fun morning of opening presents. Santa brought Steve a set of 1965 Corvette hub caps, and Sally a really cool outdoor fire pit. One of Adam's favorite presents is a cool musical toy that will help him learn how to walk (from Uncle Dan and Aunt Michelle). Adam LOVES giving Nana Abbate kisses - its quite funny. We had about 14 people at the house for dinner, including Steve's mother, aunt, grandmother, and cousins. We're so glad that both sides of the family could get together.

Christmas Eve


Our first family Christmas at the Earnest house! Adam's first gift was "Twas the Night Before Christmas" illustrated by Tasha Tudor - its the same book my Dad read to us every Christmas Eve when I was little! Here were are on the couch taking turns reading. Adam also got to hang his first Christmas ornament.
