Our baby is better than any Christmas present
What a happy girl!
Here are some pics from the day my sister, Rachel and I made Christmas cookies together.
so many cookies!
Rachel made 12 dozen cookes for a cookie exchange at work
new chocolate candy cane cookie started out looking like... you know whats.
finished product - and very tasty too!
Something else new this year - caramel corn!
Also, Micah is at the airport right now picking up his mom and brother. They will be here for 2 weeks! Pray for our sanity, haha, JUST KIDDING!!!!!! We are very thankful they can be here with us during Christmas.
Pictures from Thanksgiving…
We didn’t really put that many pictures on from Thanksgiving, so you’ll have to go back in time with me a little bit. Only a month ago, so not its not that bad!
Lots of Renno's (Katrina's dad's side of the family)
OOH! A Banana!
Aunt Rachel giving her some water
Cousins
This last picture, Violet, Jenna and Colton were all born within about 3 months of each other. Violet the end of Jaunary, Jenna the end of February and Colton the beginning of April. It was getting late in the evening so us moms had to hold the little kiddos or it was a cry fest. The cup was entertaining Violet for a little bit.
And here is one more cute pic of Violet, getting into things all the time now!
This is how we bathe Violet - in the dishwasher! haha!
Daily Life
I am sorry it has been since Thanksgiving since we posted on here! I know this is a bad excuse, but having dial-up is not fun to post pictures; it takes forever!
Here is Violet mastering her sippy cup! And yes I know her clothes do not match.
quenching her thirst (she barely sips that much water)
She has been doing great since we have been home, but in some ways our long road trip was so fun for her too because she was seeing lots of different people and doing lots of different things everyday it kept her so entertained! When we first got home she was very clingy, but she has gotten a lot better since then. She crawls everywhere downstairs and walks (while holding on to different objects) here and there. If we are holding her she loves pointing out for you where she wants to go, especially light switches.
This past weekend Katrina’s cousin, her husband and their son stayed with us briefly Saturday into Sunday. We had such a fun time with them; we live almost 3 hours apart so we don’t get together often enough! They used to live in a town nearby us and we got together with them all the time. Their son Ethan is about 5 months older than Violet and they are so cute playing together. Violet would crawl after Ethan everywhere he went and when she would catch up to him, she would take whatever toy he had away from him. But it was cute watching them interact together.
It isn’t working to upload pictures anymore, so I will add some later at my parents house. Thanks for reading!
