Goodbye 2011...Hello 2012!

MERRY CHRISTMAS, HAPPY NEW YEAR!!....And soon to be HAPPY BIRTHDAY(S)!



I can't believe that the year is over and another year has begun.This year has flown by so fast but yet has been a long year at times. The first few months adjusting to parenthood and a colicy and excema ridden baby were hard, but seeing her smile each day makes you quickly forget. Our little girl is soon to be a toddler and is so strong and happy. She is always smiling and just simply LOVES life. Our family has been very blessed this year! We had a baby who we never imagined we could love so much, and after much hard work and patience Tomasz got a job as a First Officer for Continental.I am so excited to see what 2012 has in store for us!

 Here is the final milestone picture:

We had a very busy and fun holiday season! We had Christmas Eve in Brooklyn so Ela could be home to open presents early Christmas morning! You would have thought this was her second Christmas as she was a pro at opening presents! She got SO many toys(although sometimes the boxes were the most fun)...Mommy and Tata wished Santa brought us some Advil!  Between Christmas and her Birthday right around the corner Ela is going to expect presents every month! She has so much fun!

She had the right idea to make
 coffee early in the morning!

On Christmas Day we were so happy to have Tomasz's parents fly in early in the morning join us at Church and then all head out to Long Island for a Family Dinner. It was such a nice day. Grandma Claire cooked a wonderful dinner and it was great to spend the day with family!

After Church!

Merry Christmas Mamma!

Merry Christmas Tata!

Hi Great Grandma!

 Two days after Christmas we packed up and headed to GA. Ela had a little cold over Christmas and we were a little worried about traveling, but after clearance from the doctor we were ready to go. The flight there was a little rough but we had a great time in Georgia. We got to see all of our family, Tomasz and I got some relaxation time, and we even had a little pre- birthday party for Ela! It was a great end to 2011 and start of 2012.
