Christmas Times Three

The last several days have been filled with food, presents, family, and snow. Daddy's 2 week vacation started a day early when we were due for our first big blizzard of the season. We were very happy he was home as the snow was heavy and coupled with rain which meant a miserable shoveling experience. Daddy Aaron was so sweet and didn't let Mama Jamie help at all. Instead, she hunkered down with Baby Lorelei and made sure Daddy had 3 warm meals for him.

On Saturday, we had Christmas at G-Honey and G-Pop's. It was also Lorelei's 4 month birthday. It was a day of egg bake, cookies, beef tenderloin for dinner, and Lorelei got showered with many, wonderful presents. And, it was so good to see Uncle Adam, Aunt Nicole, and Cousin Jackson again. Also, we were able to Skype with Aunt Andra in France and her new boyfriend, Jean-Marc.

 

 

 

On Christmas Eve, we spent the afternoon/evening at Grandma-ma and Grandpa-pa Special's home for Christmas. It was also Grandma-ma's birthday so we celebrated that as well. After a wonderful ham dinner and lots of playing with Lorelei, smiles, and laughs, we got down to business. Grandma-ma and Grandpa-pa Special completely spoiled Lorelei with lots of clothes, toys (including her first tv remote control!) and, an actual mini baby grand piano!

 

 

 

 

On Christmas Day, we decided to make it a tradition to just stay home and enjoy the day. We had lots of food, snacks, and opened more presents!

 

 



 

Too much Christmas.

Merry Christmas !!!

The last professional photo shoot we did was when Lorelei was 2 weeks old. We thought it would be a good idea to do another one especially in time for the holidays. Enjoy:

Where's The Baby?

Can YOU find Lorelei in this picture?

Santa Claus Is Comin' To Town !!!

Last week we went to the Hartland Library for 'Storytime With Santa'. All ages were invited and we were told to bring our cameras. During a break between stories, we asked Santa for a quick photo opp. Lorelei was a perfect angel and only cried when we took her away from Santa! It sure beat going to the crazy, busy mall this time of year. Here are some pics:

 

 

 

 

 

Growing Up So Fast!

Lorelei started holding the bottle herself last week. She still needs some help in tilting it up, but, she is getting there!

Hi-Ho-It's Off To Work I Go!

Last week, Jamie started a part time job in the drop-off daycare center at the YMCA where she teaches cycling classes. On Mondays, she is with the 3-7 year olds and on Fridays, she is with the babies. The best part is that Lorelei comes with the whole time.

 

 

 

Fun Noises!!

Here are some fun videos of our little talker. I apologize for the camera work. It's a little difficult to do with one hand. :)

Break Out The Earplugs!

I went to go get Lorelei out of her carseat and heard this:

Meet The Baby Party

We had a fabulous party this past weekend for Lorelei. We called it our 'Meet The Baby' party and we invited all of our family and friends to come by to see our little bundle. We had such a wonderful variety of friends and family there including school cousins, uncles, aunts, friends of Aaron, a few of my girlfriends, and even my college professor!!! It was such a fantastic time and Lorelei was a complete angel during the party, allowed everyone to hold her, and even fell asleep.

Here are a few pics from the day:
