New Years in Valpo

After a great visit, we said goodbye to the South...


...and made the long 16-hour trek back into the cold North to spend New Years with the Adams crew. We had a lovely dinner at Strongbow the first night, where Lily got to see her cousin Abby again! They started making some serious cuteness right away.


On New Year's Eve, Lily decided to practice her "monster face," hoping that someday it will be as good as Abby's. She makes this face while she is chowing down on Mommy or Daddy's knuckle, which leads us to wonder if she is getting the world's earliest tooth!



We had a great New Year's Eve party at Nana Great's house, with a prime rib dinner and nymphs! Lily looked so pretty in her dress from Nana and her silver shoes from Auntie Sarah. Night owl that she is, we thought she would easily make it until midnight, but...



...she decided to turn in shortly before the ball dropped. And, for the first time in as long as I can remember, so did I!


We were sound asleep in the basement to ring in the New Year, so we unfortunately missed this moment which Jake thankfully captured on camera:


On New Years day, Lily and Abby entertained everyone with cute antics on the table, and then we re-energized and geared up for the new year with a morning cup of coffee (empty again, don't worry). 2010, here we come!!!
