The last couple of months...

Here are some pics from over the last month or so. We had a wonderful Christmas here in England. It was just Sam and I, which was really nice. We opened presents at midnight and slept in. We made delicious Belgium waffles for breakfast (thanks mom and dad) with our new professional maker and then chillaxed for the rest of the day. The two of us made a great dinner: ham, mashed potatoes, rolls, cranberries, gravy, corn, candied yams, and all the other fixings. It was a wonderful day. ;)

Mom and Dad had gotten the boys each some gifts for Christmas,
and they were quite the hit. Here is the stand off...who gets this toy?!

Tommy couldn't get enough of his toy

Yum! Cat-nip!

(Sam helped on this one)

Then a couple of weeks ago, we celebrated my 27th birthday. Craziness... Sam did an amazing job. He baked me a white-chocolate raspberry cheesecake from scratch and took me out to one of our favorite Indian food restaurants here in Cambridge. And he surprised me with a new set of pots and pans that I have been really wanting. :) But it didn't end there. It only got better. :) He also had gotten me tickets to go see "Wicked" in London that next Saturday. It had been something I had really been wanting to see, so I was really really excited! So that next Saturday we headed down to London, walked all around and "window" shopped :), went to dinner at our favorite steak house ever, and then saw Wicked. It was the best birthday yet! Thanks babe!

I'm getting old... :(

Looks professional, uh?

During our "window" shopping, we went to the biggest toy
store in London called "Hamleys". And apparently
they have the biggest stuffed camel for only a mere
1500 pounds. ;)

On our way to see Wicked...
I was so stinkin excited!

One of my gifts from Christmas was this pink snuggie,
which is amazing by the way! But the reason I'm showing you this pic is
because Tommy loves being under blankets. So every time
Sam or I get out a blanket he comes a running. And well he hasn't
quite figured out how the snuggie works. But he's determined that he can
fit in my sleeve. :)
