9lb 5oz 22 inches

Our good friends Ted & Brandi welcomed their first baby girl into the world on December 28th. The kids were so excited to go to the hospital and see her however after we got there Ethan found it more fun to play with Ted than hold Aubrey but Gracie couldn't get enough! Little Gracie says that because her and Aubrey were delivered by the same doctor they will be best friends when she's older and I can't wait to watch that happen!

christmas

Our first Christmas family outing was with my sister-in-law and the whole gang as we went on the Christmas Express (aka an RV driven by my brother-in-law, Jube) downtown for dinner and to watch the boats go down the river with all the pretty lights. Then we headed to PIR and looked at more lights. The kids had a great time with their cousins running around the RV in their pjs. It was a great start to the Christmas week!

Next it was off to the Hendrix house for a Christmas Eve extravaganza filled with good food and whole lot of good times!

Back at home we set out milk and cookies for Santa. Can you see their excitement :)

Christmas Morning!

Now on to the Lane house for more presents, food and of course great family fun!

At my mother-in-laws we had a great meal followed by warm & cozy family movie time fun! And of course more presents!

Last but definitely not least we made it up to Medina to see my cousin Dustin and his wife Jill who were visiting from Colorado. While up there we just had to check out the botanical lights too!

our christmas cards 2010

This year I could not decide on one picture or even one card for that matter so we sent out 3 different cards.

I hope your holiday is filled with the love of family, the company of good friends and the laughter of children!

Merry Christmas, Kristin
