Merry Christmas!

I hope everyone had a great Christmas. This was my first Christmas away from my family. There were so many reasons why it was better for us to stay in Ohio this year...New baby, fix up the house, money....

One advantage was being able to stay home and relax a little instead of running to like 5 different relatives houses. Originally i wasn't sure how much relaxation i was going to get because of all the work i had to do to prepare for 6 missionaries joining us for dinner. Luckily we only ended up having 2. We enjoyed the company. I made homemade turkey and gravy for my first time and it turned out great (I knew eventually i would have to learn to do all this stuff. :) Thanks to modern day technology Bryan and i were able to see both of our family's using our web cams. Bryans parents enjoyed being able to see Kaitlyn open all of her presents. My whole family was at my parents house for dinner, and for a minute i felt like i was with them. boo hoo hoo. (yes, i was sad i couldn't be there with them).

Even though we missed our family's, we had a great Christmas.

Ashley had her 2 month check up on Wednesday and the Dr. said she weighs 14 lbs. She is way off the weight chart. he he

She is getting cuter and "bigger" every day. She is smiling all the time and making her cute little baby sounds.

I finally got a chance to put some pictures in my photo album that i recently had developed. Here are a few of my favorites.
