MERRY CHRISTMAS EVERYONE!
Hope everyone had a great holiday! Can't believe Christmas is already over. And 2008 is right around the corner.
I thought I'd share some pictures and commentary from Lily's first Christmas. Thank you to everyone who sent cards, gifts, thoughts and prayers to our little family.
We spent Christmas Eve with the Mitchler's and then Christmas Day with the Lengle's. We all had a great time celebrating the birth of Jesus and giving thanks for the continued blessings we have received this year. We hope your Christmas was as memorable as ours. :)
We went to the 7pm church service with the Mitchler's and then went to their place for appetizers, presents, fondue and dessert!
We dressed Lily in pink for Christmas Eve. A little different than all the red dresses we saw. 
Our happy girl on Christmas Eve!

She got this cool learning puppy from A.Erica and U.Brent
Her first dolly from Grandpa and Grandma Mitchler. They also gave her that spoon that was the biggest hit of the night! They also got her a high chair and duckies that roll to encourage her to crawl. :)
I think she's happy with her gifts!
Pajama time!!! And she wasn't happy about it!!
I was mad as well at whoever MADE the pajamas, cause when I brought them home and took a better look at them, it says, "Babies First Christmas", which is grammatically incorrect! It should be "Baby's first Christmas"!!! Oh well, they were super cute on her.

We left the Mitchler's at around 1:30am and slept over at the Lengle's and got up on Christmas morning around 8am. Lily slept in until about 9am though. She was a tired girl!

Kevin and I bought this Sing along Stage for her. She likes music a lot and the lights are very attractive to her. *laughs*
This face means, "Are we done yet?!"
This bike was from Nana and Grandpa Lengle. It's a 3-1 toy that turns from a floor toy into a rocker into a moving bike thing. It's really cool! They also gave her a bath play center, some clothes, a nighttime Tigger and a lot of stocking stuffers! What a spoiled girl!
Where's Lily?! She's lost in the paper!

Breakfast time!
My Mom (Nana) always makes this amazing breakfast on Christmas morning. It's the one day of the year where she'll make home-made bread. It was great as always!
It snowed on Christmas!!
Nothing says Christmas like hot-tubbing and beers!
