Christmas Festivities

Christmas was great this year! Although we didn't get Braeda much since she can't open anything..Rylan is making her a toy box and we got her a few books. She received waaayyy too many things for Christmas and I have no idea where I'm going to store these toys..let alone the toys she will receive in years to come..especially since her toy box will be almost completely filled once we get everything in it!

 She loved the tissue paper and the noises it made.

 Ja-Ja and Braeda

 McKenna wants to hold her so bad..until Braeda starts to move..then that freaks McKenna out.

 And she can't figure out why Braeda won't talk back. McKenna gets right in her face and just jabbers away.

 Aww..Mimi with McKenna and Braeda

Candy Making Day

We had an eventful Christmas season. Our festivities began with our traditional candy making day at mom's. There were no powdered sugar fights this year. :( I burnt my finger and Jenn dipped her hair in the hard candy..that was nearly all the excitement we created! But we had a great time anyways..just as we always do!

 Braeda was content most of the time...but between all of us..someone was always paying special attention to her. :)

Playing with Ja-Ja

We took supper out to mom's Friday night. Leslie was there cutting mom's hair..so Braeda got to spend the evening with McKenna. Mom was holding Braeda and talking to her..and McKenna wanted right up there with mom. She couldn't stand that mom wasn't solely focusing her attention on her.

More Pictures of Braeda

Jen put Braeda in the Bumbo seat last week..which she liked for a bit!

 Me & Braeda

 Braeda looking at Anna Ryker(5 days old). They were the same length..only Braeda weighed 9lbs2oz and Anna weighed 6lbs6oz. HA! Anna looks super tiny compared to Braeda!

Busy Busy Busy

Althought I don't have much time to sit and write a whole lot...I wanted to post some pictures from my camera that I have been intending to post for awhile now. They are from Thanksgiving! YIKES I've got to post more often!
