Holiday Happenings!

We spent the holidays getting to know our latest addition. She is such a blessing to our family. Here is my mom hovering over her while she plays. My mom stayed for 2 weeks and took care of us all. I know she missing us, but not the interrupted sleep!
Here are Jamie and I with our little girls. We were so honored to have her bring her kids and spend Christmas Eve and day with us. She is giving me all the scoop on having a girl.
Can you believe that no one has taken a picture of Jason and I with our daughter? This is the first one! I guess it got overlooked at the hospital and I was too out of it to remember.
My neighbor, Katie, offered me this sling. I had not used one with the boys, so I told her I would try it. She told me it was one thing she could not live without. Now, I believe her! It has been a lifesaver and my dad even loved wearing it. Hands free!!
We had to get out and go see the ICE exhibit at the Gaylord. Everyone went in and Brooke and I strolled around the Gaylord and got some hot chocolate. She was a perfect companion and I got some practice with the new stroller. Since it was our first outing with her, we had not used the stroller yet. There we were, in the parking lot for 10 minutes and could not get the stroller open!! We were all pulling, pushing, pressing everything until finally my dad did something to it and it opened. After the ordeal, Jackson said "That was pretty embarassing." I agreed and a good lesson to read the manual before you go out in public :)
