Natalie's Blessing

We blessed Natalie this past Sunday. Thank you everyone for coming to support us and being there on this special day. And thank you to those who stood in the circle, it really was great of you guys. Natalie looked beautiful, didn't she? She really is a special girl and she really adds so much happiness to our family. When you see her smile and talk all the time, it's hard not to be happy. What a sweet girl.

This picture was so cute. That smile is just adorable. This is her everyday smile. Really, she is a good baby when no one is around!

And another picture to show off another cute face!

Christmas

This was Natalie's first Christmas! I thought it was a lot of fun. She was overwhelmed by the third present, but she was very cute seeing her other gifts. Over the Christmas holiday we realized that she is a homebody and doesn't like large groups of people. She really is a good baby, but she cried and was fussy the whole time. We would come home and put her down and she would just smile and laugh. I'm not making it up, I PROMISE! I always say how good she is and then we go somewhere and she just cries! Anyway, the rest of Christmas was fun. We went to the in-laws on Christmas Eve, opened our presents Christmas morning (Santa brought us a Wii), then we went to Jennifer's Christmas evening. It was a fun Christmas. I think my favorite part of Christmas was watching Patrick open his present from us. I thought I was funny because we bought him a book and i wrapped it in a shirt box. So he opens it and it's wrapped again. He unwraps it and it's in a plastic grocery bag. He takes it out and there's another bag! Then another and another and another. I think there was 6 or 7 bags he had to take his present out of. He gets it out of all the bags and it's wrapped again in tissue paper. It was hilarious watching him! I had tears in my eyes I was laughing so hard! That was better than THE BAG (see picture on right side of screen)!

Asher's Birthday

Asher's birthday was on the 22nd of December. I can't believe he is 6 years old already! We had a family party for him and he really enjoyed everyone being there. I always try so hard to make sure his birthday is separated from Christmas because all of the family Christmas parties and his birthday seem to mix together. This year I decorated his room for him so when he woke up he had balloons and streamers all over his room. He thought that was pretty cool! I just can't believe how fast time flies!
