FIRST CHRISTMAS

We had a wonderful Christmas with Brynlee even though the only gift Chris & I gave each other was a new furnace (the old one died and we figured a warm house was going to be a pretty important thing to have). Brynlee wasn't quite sure what was going on and probably thought it was a little silly to have a tree in the house. She never really bothered it though and was more fascinated by the bows and tissue paper-filled gift bags.
The grandparents spoiled her as grandparents do. Thanks to all for the wonderful and thoughtful gifts. We also had a great visit with Drew, Laura and their 3 boys between the Thanksgiving and Christmas holidays. Thanks for spending so much time with us y'all. We met Ian and Bryce (Caleb's twin brothers) for the first time and we already can't wait to cuddle them again! Caleb was so cute playing with Brynlee. He's a great cousin to her and we are excited to watch their interactions as all the kids grow.
Here's a few pictures from all the festivities. I tried to put together a slide show but many have said they can't get it to load so my apologies for the long string of photos. Enjoy!

I love how they link arms when they lay by each other

Chris had to hold Brynlee in place
She was a bit restless

Bryn was a lamb in the family nativity.
Nice yoda ears baby.

She did quite well with Santa
