NYE 2010....

So this New Years was a quiet one for the Alford's.  Mommy and Daddy both worked and then spent their non-working time during the day at the Dr. with Aida -- who had an ear infection and a terrible cough.  This was the third trip to the Dr's office in the month long illness drama.  We had a few more visits after that.  But now we are doing much better, so all is well.

Aida loves to toast with real wine glasses.  Maybe she is getting too much practice at home :)  So we geared her up with her very own real glass poured it full of ginger ale and "toasted" to a happy and healthy 2010 at 9:00 pm on NYE.  Seriously-- I think we were all asleep by 9:30.  Aida loves to say "cheers" and cling the glasses so here she is -- sick and all -- toasting to a New Year. 

Cheers...

We were practicing our New Years kiss...

Going in for the toast...we did this about 50 times and she never got tired of it.  It was a miracle none of the glasses broke :)

Aida -- you have been our biggest joy and blessing in 2009 and we are so looking forward to even more wonderful experiences with you as we watch you grow and experience new things in 2010.  You are a kind, thoughtful, strong, and beautiful little girl and Mommy and Daddy love you to pieces.  We love you Angel Face...
