Merry Christmas and Happy New Year!

It is hard to believe the holiday season came and went. We had a wonderful first Christmas with Hampton. He managed to stack up on presents from Santa - he must have been awfully good this year! My mother, grandma "GiGi" came to visit us as well. Prior to Christmas, we celebrated Eric's 30th birthday. First, Hampton surprised him with Patriots tickets for the December 23 game against the Miami Dolphins. Eric and his father went to cheer on the Pat's while the rest of us stayed home to diligently cook the night away in preparation for Eric's surprise birthday party. On December 24, Eric and I ran some errands bright and early in the morning and came home for a Surprise Birthday brunch. Christmas day we all got up and went for our annual family 4-mile run, ate breakfast and then opened presents! Hampton was quite stimulated with all the activity and now we're back at home with lots of goodies. Here is a picture of Hampton in his glory.
