Merry Christmas

We had a very merry Christmas this year. We drove down to Logan Thursday afternoon. Daniel was great on his first roadtrip. We stopped once and arrived around 8 pm. We were so excited that three of Bill's sisters were there. Daniel got to meet some of his cousins and Sam loved playing with all the boys.

Christmas morning was magical. It was so fun to see Sam and his cousin, Andy opening presents. They were excited about everything they got. They played together pretty well (except for a few scuffles caused by Sam).

It was such a fun weekend! We had to head back home Sunday morning. We made it home in 4 1/2 hours without one stop! Daniel is a little angel!

Two Months!

This little guy is getting so big! He now weighs 12 lbs 12 oz and is 24 inches long. He is smiling and cooing all the time. We just love him!

Blessing Day

What a special weekend we've had! We were so happy that so many family members were able to come to Daniel's blessing.

Bill gave Daniel a beautiful blessing.

It was so neat to be able to bless two little babies. They're already great friends!

Birthday Boy!

Our little Sammy is two! I can't believe it! He has been the most fun little boy and we are so grateful to have him in our family!

We spent the morning of his birthday at Monkey Bizness with Ann, Cael & Whit. They had a blast!

Since my parents, Bill's parents and my brother Dan and his family were coming to town a couple of days later for Daniel's baby blessing, we waited to celebrate with them. Sam is pretty obsessed with garbage trucks, so this was my attempt at decorating his cake with one. The 40 represents the age that my sister, Ann and her husband recently turned.

Sam loved the Happy Birthday singing...

...and opening his presents.

We love you Sam!
