Sammy had a very exciting holiday this year.  The week before Christmas we went to the Donovan's to make her first gingerbread house.  She actually tasted the sugar cement and loved it : - ).  We are going to have to make it an annual tradition.  Make sure you check out the video of making the gingerbread house!

On the 23rd, we drove up to DC and on the 24th, we flew out to California where we spent the last week of the year with Sara's side of the family.  Samantha loved seeing her Granny, Grandpa, Uncle Eff-Jay, Auntie M, Uncle Scott, Auntie Jill, cousins Max & Sky, great Grandma Mamie, Aunt Betsy, cousins Margaret, Josh, Willie, Uncle Bob, Carol and a bunch of family friends.  While in Monterey she got to visit the Monterey Bay Aquarium, go to Point Lobos, go skateboarding with her Uncle Scott, play with Max & Sky and hang out with the fam.  Make sure you check out her skateboarding video!

We all had a great time and hope 2008 brings everyone health, warmth and happiness.
