Our Holidays

Now that Christmas has been gone and done for 2 weeks, I suppose I should put up some pictures of our holidays. We didn't take a whole lot this time around. We did setup the video camera so we could capture it all on video, and I stole a few pictures from family members.


Natalie wasn't a super fast present opener, but she did manage to open a lot of them herself. She was very adamant about getting every shred of paper off of the packages.






Overall I think she was just a little overwhelmed by all of the chaos, and pretty excited to see all of her new toys.

She got a rocking chair from her Aunt Shannah & Uncle Kevin and she will climb up there and read her books. We've tried many times to get a picture, but she either moves onto something else quickly or lunges at the camera as soon as she sees it. We'll have to work on that one.


I love these pictures - really shows you the chaos of getting 3 kids to look and pay attention!


We got a group picture with my family, but we must have gotten distracted at David's and forgot to get the group shot. We need to get better about this!



Cousins! Liam was such a happy, smiley guy all day. He really liked trying to play with Natalie.




Natalie started walking on December 23rd! We had driven to Hanford to be there for Christmas Eve and she was taking a few steps here and there. Over the next two days she was getting braver and braver; her max was 10 ft or so. Ever since then she has been walking and walking more and more. I'd say she still crawls 15% of the time, and she is falling less and less. So exciting!

One of my favorite things about this holiday was getting to share our big news with family in person.


I promise not to leave you hanging for long...details to come soon!!
