Christmas and Stuff

Anyone who has had a new baby knows that you get a little "camera-happy." And, when you get a new baby during the holidays I think it is even worse. (: So, bear with me and all my pictures--there are just too many cute ones, I could spend all day loading pictures on my blog.
It's hard to believe Christmas has come and gone. It was all a blur for me. I felt physically and emotionally drained with a brand new baby and still trying to recover from a c-section. But, all in all we had a very Merry Christmas. We spent all week in Bear Lake with our families and got our fill of good food and holiday parties. Elly got spoiled by all her relatives- she is going to be the best dressed baby (after she has grown enough to fit into her clothes!) We took her for a check-up yesterday and with her clothes on she weighs 5 lbs 12 oz, so she is growing fast!

We have been so blessed in 2008 and look forward to 2009! Happy New Year everyone!

She is so adorable. I'm sure she's getting spoiled. How is Carter doing? Hopefully he's not too jealous. Hope the recovery is going well. Happy New Year.

How fun to get your little one for Christmas. Sounds like a scary pregnancy, but always worth it. She is so cute, and it looks like she has a sweet older brother.
