December----Our Month in Review!

December has come and gone in a flash!

What a month we have had: Mackenzie's baptism,

3 Christmas Celebrations,

a road trip (yes we drove) to Tennessee and back,

first New Year's with a 5 month old...but we survived,

and the beginning of a hard 2 months with a nanny

b/c of my back surgery (hard for me...not for her)

2009: Thanks for all of the memories, blessings, recoveries,

babies in the family, both sides of our families, and we look forward to 2010!

Well, I scheduled Mackenzie's baptism months before knowing

I was having back surgery....so 12 days after back surgery

we had to be at the church at 11 which sounds EASY right!?!?

Well....let's not ask Jp about that!! He had to get himself, me,

and Mackenzie ready for her debut at church...not an easy task...

but SUCCESSFUL....and we were on time (which

doesn't happen often anymore!)

He is the best husband a girl could ask for :)

Enjoy our month in review!

They wouldn't let us take pics during the baptism

so this is after an hour and a half!

but I did sneak a few during the service

because I couldn't resist how focused

Mackenzie was on the lights!

She did GREAT during her debut, but

right after that she crashed in her

daddy's arms! Jp had a smile on

his face the whole time....she is

definitely a daddy's GIRL!

Dee-Dee and Pop's Christmas with Mackenzie!

she loved tearing the paper

look at her face! so happy about her 1st babydoll!

and her first puppy dog....she has 2 real ones
at home that she LoVeS!

Mommy and me!

Daddy and me!

Christmas morning at our house! Of course

Bella and Bailey couldn't resist a photo op!

TwO pEaS iN a PoD

Christmas Eve at Mimis! Ashley and I couldn't

resist matching shirts...I know! The funniest

part of this picture is not how sweet they are

sitting for the camera it's the bows!

Morgan LOVES Mackenzie and LOVES

touching her :)

and Morgan lost interest but Mackenzie didn't!

Then we decided it would be cute to let them take

a Christmas Eve bird bath together! It started like this....

and ended like this!

After their bath we all opened presents and look

what Santa Amy brought the babies....a rabbit hat!

They both were like what's on my head but it sure

does keep their ears warm...thanks AMY NICOLE!
