Christmas Highlights

I have soooooooooooooooo been slacking in the blogging world!  I have to admit I have been just plain unmotivated which is sort of ironic since these past few weeks have been exciting and full of memories that need to be recorded!  I suppose all of that memory making has made me exhausted, but nevertheless, it is time to get to posting! So here is brief recap of our Christmas festivities...

First up, Santa:

We had the pleasure of meeting Santa at our wonderful State Farm office. We had heard what a great experience is was from Jeremy and Jessie, and were thankful we got to take part in it this year! It really was the best case scenario for taking little ones to visit Santa.  Isabel had the chance to watch Santa from afar a gradually get closer and just get to talk with him a little before it was time for the big photo op moment!  When the time came, she was content for quite a few minutes before she decided she was ready to be done so we were lucky to get some decent photos and not the typical screaming and scared to death you see so often!

Then Christmas came early when my mom, Josiah, Nicole, and Evabell came to celebrate with us the week before Christmas. The weekend was over before we knew it, but it was a nice chance to get to spend the holidays together, meet little miss Eva, and share Isabel's first Christmas festivities with my mom.  

Isabel thought Eva was pretty cool.  She is not meant to be an only child ;)

And of course, she loves her cousin Sienna

Opening her very first Christmas present!

Then before we knew it, Christmas Eve was here and our lil princess was 11 months old!!!!!!!!

She had a blast spending time with my dad's side of the family and showing off her new walking skills!

Up next: Christmas Day!
