Happy New Year...

First of all, Happy New Year from our family to yours! Our 2010 has started off fairly calm, which is a nice change of pace...November and December (the holidays) are fun but takes every ounce of energy we have so it is nice to have a calm January to recover.

As you will remember, Matt's mom was "Queen MeMe" last year at their Mardi Gras Ball and will be passing along her royalty at this year's ball on February 6th. Matt and I decided that Anna Lauren was old enough to attend the ball this year and see her MeMe as well as the rest of the court...now...let's just hope this is as good of an idea as we are thinking...

With this being said, we needed to find a dress for Anna Lauren, and one of my sweet friends pulled through and is letting us borrow a dress that belongs to her daughter. Anna Lauren who is typically one of the furthest from prissy you will ever meet fell in love with the "borrowed" dress and shoes. She put it on and immediately said take my picture, Mommy. She posed and posed and posed! It was great fun to see her being a "true" little girl! Brittany, the dress is darling...thank you so very much!
