Merry Christmas

Hello all... We hope everyone had a wonderful Christmas!!!!!  We did, this being Izzy's first was sooo much fun.  We decided not to overload on gifts because we figured everyone else would and we figured correctly.  Since we have double family, that means double everything.  So Izzy will get only three presents from us because that is what Baby Jesus got when he was born, then she will get Santa too.  But this way we can sorta keep a handle on things. 

We were busy but it wasn't too bad.  This year we had Christmas with my dad's family on the Saturday before Christmas, spent Christmas Eve evening with my dad, stepmom (Nicole) and her family, Christmas morning at our house (which when we got married we agreed we would always wake up Christmas morning at our home!) and Christmas day afternoon with my mom and her family.  It was my mom's 50th birthday so it was also that celebration!!!

Here are a few pictures from the week.  I took over 100, got a little snap happy but with a little one, it takes that many to get a few good ones. 

This is at my dad's on Christmas Eve, she is sitting in my little sister's rocking chair in front of the tree.  I just love this pic!!!

Christmas morning

I love this because its as big as she is!!!  We gave her this frog to hang on the tub to keep her toys in.  She gets so excited when she sees it.

We gave her this thing that pops up balls and they spin through it and pops up again.  It is NOT what I thought because you dont really do anything but watch but none the less is fun for a few minutes.  As you can see from her expression she enjoys watching it too.

Santa did good.  Since she is not wanting to crawl so this is perfect!  She can walk behind it and later the seat folds down and she can ride it.  So its a two for one!  Love these kind!!!!  She really likes it, but gets so excited she pushes faster than she can keep up with.  I was a little nervous because we have hard floors and wasn't sure if it would go fast but the wheels are pretty tight so she is fine.  I give her a few weeks and she will be an expert at it.

It is kinda sad because it goes by so fast and now we have her first birthday to look foward to, CRAZY!!!!!

Anyway, Izzy is doing great!!!!  She is cutting 3 top teeth so is been a rough few days but she is doing better. 

We hope everyone has a Happy New Year!!!!!!
