Hogmany (or New Years) 1

We have about 100 pictures from New Years and needless to say we had a great time.  John's brother Robert and his wife Gail had a party at their new home and it was a blast.  They had great food, lots of drinks, a champagne punch fountain and karoke - how could you not have fun.  Little Miss Kyla decided she didn't want to miss it either and refused to sleep in the back room.

After Christening Tea

After Kyla's christening, we had a reception at Robert and Gail's tea room with all our family and friends.  It was great to see everyone and catch up.  Miss Kyla changed into her sassy scotty dog dress and new black Ralph Lauren boots (thanks Connecticut Jackson's!).  A special thank you to Mum, Dad, Robert and Gail for everything!





Kyla's Christening



Kyla was christened on Sunday, December 30th at Overtown Parish Church.  The minister dubbed her a wee bonnie lass and she absolutely was.  Kyla just stared at the minister during the baptism and was just a doll during the entire service.  She looked so beautiful in her christening gown and the knitted cardigan and bonnet she received when she was born from Auntie Shelia and Uncle Jim.  Thanks also to her godparents Janice and Iain.

Girls Night Out


Janice, Pamela and Lesley all graciously took me out on Friday night for a little girl's time - sadly because our plane was delayed we missed the day of shopping,  But c'est la vie!  I had such a good time and those Cointreau and lemonades went down mighty easy (thanks Pamela)! 

Post Christmas - Arrival in Scotland

Thursday, January 17, 2008

After 24 hour layover in Dallas, we finally arrived in Scotland on December 28th.  We were surprised at John's parent's house by Iain, Janice, Jade and Eva.
