Merry, Merry, Merry, Merry Christmas!!!

We had such a wonderful Christmas! I think this year was the best yet for a few reasons...1st of all, we got to have Christmas at our house and be with Conlee & Reece as they woke up on Christmas morning. Secondy, Conlee was old enough to really enjoy everything and get so excited by each fun gift she opened. And, of course it was a wonderful Christmas because we added Reece into our family this year! We are so, so blessed!

Another reason we had such a wonderful Christmas is because Gigi & Paps came out from Austin to spend it with us! We had so much fun having them here...not only did the girls love spending time with them, but Brent and I loved all the yummy meals they cooked for us and all the 7am feedings they did with Reece! Here are a few pictures from our wonderful holiday!

Our living room on Christmas morning before the chaos began. Ginna brought her stockings all the way from Austin, and they were filled to the brim with such fun goodies!


Daddy & Reece waking Conlee up so we could go and see what Santa brought!

The basketball goal from Ginna & Luke was the first thing she spotted, and she was in heaven! We literally could not get her to focus on any other gifts for a good 20 minutes. We were all so impressed because she was such a natural. She knew exactly how to dunk the ball as soon as she spotted the goal! She's even got her Michael Jordan game face on...tongue out and all!


Conlee had been staring at this huge, mysterious red bag since it arrived from Mark & Ellie in early December. She absolutely could not wait to see what was inside!

A new pink tricycle!!! Thank you Granddad & EI!!!


Riding the tricycle is Conlee's favorite thing...even if she can't quite reach the pedals!

Daddy pre-coffee & Reece post-breakfast...quite the pair!

Gigi & Paps showing Conlee the new art easel they got her. It's a huge hit with Conlee, since all she wants to do is go outside!

A little later that day, she was a finger painting pro!

Like everyone else in the family, Conlee was addicted to the head massager we got in our stocking. She couldn't get enough of it, and I don't blame her!


All these new toys, and she's back to iPhone...unbelievable!
