Winter Vacation...

is almost over.

We've had such a nice vacation too. Mike has been off since Christmas Eve. We had a really great Christmas and tonight we celebrated Maggie's first birthday. (I'll add pictures of Maggie's first Christmas and her first birthday to her webpage soon!).

But, now it's almost over. Tomorrow is Sunday and I'm sure the "End of Winter Break" blues will set in anytime now. I don't think anyone is looking forward to getting back into the grind just yet.

Back to Maggie's birthday. She had a very nice birthday and seemed to really enjoy herself. She stuck her finger into her cake frosting and then realized that it was pretty good stuff. Maggie's cake was adorable with little pink roses that were quickly smeared all over her face. She even had cake in one of her ears!

We watched the "Rose Parade" this morning. Always a tradition, although we plan to convince Maggie that they put this thing on EVERY year for her. She really liked the marching bands and the horses - although she kept growling at the horses... Mike says that Maggie must think that they are big dogs. LOL
