Christmas Recap #1

Christmas was pretty low key this year....I guess that is what the sickies will do.  Jeff, Quinn and I all passed around a flu bug.  So, the pictures are pretty ho-hum and I didn't take many.  Bummer.  Just felt too yucky.  


Christmas Eve was at our home with Jeff's sisters' family, Papa Lou, Aunt Barb, Cousin Michael and Great Papa Henry.  This was the night I felt the worst...I didn't even eat dinner.   
Here is Great Papa with Barbe and Zia...sleeping.

Jeff and Quinn watching others open gifts.

Lou got a photo of his mom and aunt...such a treasure.

Both Jeff and Lou got Cotton Bowl t-shirts. Go Cats!

*******************************

The next morning was just the four of us at home.   It was such a change from last year for Quinn.  She wasn't sitting up alone yet but this year she actually opened her own gifts!

This series of photos reminds me so much of Kennedy when she had her 2nd Christmas.  Papa Doug and Grandma Jodie got them ride on toys and both girls were thrilled!

Pretty cute, huh?

This is Kennedy opening her BIG gift from Santa.  A Nintendo DS!  Wonder if she liked it?

Hope you all had a blessed Christmas!   The rest of our Christmas photos will be in the next post!

Baby Zia

We are all just in love with our new niece/cousin! Zia has been the tiniest of the babies born in our family at just 6lbs 6oz!

We visited her at home just 8 days after she arrived! I had an impromptu photo shoot! The lightening was not good and I didn't have my portrait lens. But I made due and just snapped a few. Hopefully next time I share they will be better!!

First up is Zia with Elijah, now the middle brother!!!



Sweet little fingers.....

Unhappy....almost waking up....

peaceful again...

raising her hand.....

don't you just want to grab her and cuddle her!??!

Thanks for taking a peek!!!!
