Surprise! We had a white Christmas in Georgia this year! It was wonderful to spend time with both of our families on Christmas day. We spent the morning at the Sanders house and the afternoon at the Ryan house. Santa was good to Julianne too. She didn’t know quite what to do with the wrapping paper, but I bet next year she’ll be a pro!

Julianne’s first touch of snow!

Julianne
Whew. I missed a 10 month update and have almost missed the 11 month update. Since Julianne has started walking life is go go go! She never sits still. Constantly moving – up, down, around, and around. She keeps us on our toes!

She has been eating more and more table foods. She wants to eat what we are eating. Just the last few days she has been spitting pureed food at me. I think she is trying to tell me she is done with it.
One of her top teeth has broken the surface and the second one is coming soon. Mostly it hasn’t bothered her like the first two teeth. She has just been more grumpy then usual.
Looking forward to her birthday!

Better late than never! We traveled to Maryland for Thanksgiving this year. Julianne did great during the long car ride – except for the last two hours when we got stuck on the Capital Beltway! We stayed with Uncle John and Aunt Bev’s house. Julianne went to Uncle John pretty instantly… must be the family resemblance to Grandpa.

Thanksgiving was at Aunt Patty’s house and it was a packed house! The food was great. I know I ate too much! Julianne was getting pretty grumpy towards the end of the night.

We visited with Kristy, Dylan, and Parker the day after Thanksgiving. Julianne got to go down a slide for the first time and had a BLAST!

On Saturday a big group went to GoApe an outdoor adventure course. Josh did this while Julianne and I went to the outlet mall. We decided to drive home through the night to not be stuck in traffic with everyone else on Sunday. We won’t talk about that night, because I don’t want to relive it. All in all we had a wonderful trip!
Family, Julianne
