Christmas.

Christmas morning came so fast!
We spent Christmas morning with Greg's family and had a delicious brunch.
And we got to talk to our sweet missionary in Argentina!

Here is Lydia with her new exersaucer and loving it.

Charlotte getting fake bacon out of her stocking.  Yummy.

 Opening my most exciting present of Christmas.
It was just what our family needed.
 

 Gregory showing Lydia what was in her stocking.


We heard a few noises from Lydia's bottom while opening presents if you know what I mean.
I checked her bum a few minutes later and
WAM!
Poop up her back of course.  Lydia is the queen of that.

I gave Greg a subcription to ESPN magazine.
The magazine hasn't come yet so he got a hand drawn cover
which looks pretty good.

Greg gave me new winter boots.
They keep my tootsies nice and warm.

Lydia and cousin Addie sharing some bumbo time.
If you look closely at Lydia's right cheek she has a small cut.
She hit her head on one of her presents while I was opening it up in front of her.
And she got a cold on Christmas Eve so her nose and eyes were all sorts of running.
Lydia had quite the first Christmas morning, poor girl.

Now what's better than a Snuggie?
A homemade one!
Our sweet sis-in-law Kim made us homemade snuggies.
Here is a snuggie pose for you.


Snuggie hug.

Snuggie kiss!

Isn't this a darling picture of Lydia?


Christmas night was spent at Madre's with my siblings.






Christmas zoomed by.
Lydia's first Christmas is already over.
Sniff, sniff.

And take a look at my photo blog for cute pictures of my prego friend Megan!

Christmas Eve.
















Our Christmas Eve was spent at Grandma Miller's enjoying family.
Greg and I then spent an hour setting up an exersaucer for Lydia in
which many fake swear words were said.
It was worth it because Lydia loved her exersaucer on Christmas morning.
Christmas day shall be posted soon.

And take a look at my photo blog if you would like!
