Christmas 2006

Well, we had another wonderful Christmas in Pennsylvania. This was Erin's second Christmas, and it was apparent that she knew at least a bit of what was going on. She knew that opening presents meant there was going to be something new inside to (hopefully) play with. She also knew that if one of the cousin's opened a gift that looked good (to her), she could just go play with that (when they weren't looking).
The plane trip out to Pennsylvania was very easy. We were armed with a new portable DVD player, which came in very handy for the last half of the plane ride on the way out to PA.
Erin loved saying words like "man" for snowman, and started singing while we were out there. She would sing "Frosty....man", of course trying to sing Frosty the snowman. She's growing up very fast!

Well, 8 out of 9 happy to have their photo taken ain't bad ~:)
