We spent Christmas in California this year and got to spend time with Jason's family and my family that live there. We figured out that we went to 9 Christmas parties this year! Annie met many new people and we loved having our new daughter to spend the holidays with.

Annie's favorite spot at my parents house was on this white fuzzy blanket under the tree. She loved looking at the lights and ornaments.

My brother passed his bar exam this year and became an official Lawyer!! He works with my dad right now, we brought him his first client.

Annie started holding things and standing up. We are so excited for all her changes!


We started an ornament exchange with our Rowe side. We play it like the white elephant game and it is really fun.

Annie's first Christmas present. Even though she didn't know what was going on it was still really fun.


All of the Rowe cousin kids: Aiden, Annie, Jack and Tyler. Annie got scared of all the commotion we were putting on to get the kids to smile.

This is the best picture that I got:
Annie got to meet my best friends in CA, Pam on the left and Anna on the right.

Annie got her first experience of Rowe bowling. It was a great trip but way to short!
