Here are some pictures of Christmas. It was such a fun day!

Makenna while we were opening presents...


and this was after opening presents. She just had so many:)

Steve and my brother doing what they do best- watching football.

First day of church

Yesterday was our first attempt at all three of us going to church. It started out well, Makenna just sat and stared through most of sacrament (probably because their are so many lights). But then she blew out her diaper, however I came prepared for such an event and then she decided that she wanted to scream during sunday school so we raomed the halls for awhile and then she decided she could finally eat. A friend of ours told me to enjoy this time when I have a good excuse to miss sunday school becuase it does last forever. It ended well with her sleeping through all of releif society. All in all I say we did pretty good- we'll see how next week goes:)

Putting up with mom

This morning I was trying to get a cute picture of Makenna in her Christmas outfit to put on our Christmas card and this was one of the faces I got.

2 weeks already!

Makenna is 2 weeks old already! We went to the doctor yesterday and she's doing great. She only cried when they poked her heal for her PKU test- I was impressed. It's definatly been an exciting 2 weeks. Steve and I are the ideal first time parents who are paranoid of germs and react to every noise she makes. Who would have ever thought that such a tiny baby would create so much more laundry, garbage, and overall require so much work? But at the same time she has brought so much love and has been such a joy. I love just watching her, she makes the funniest faces. She always has her hands up by her face, she hates having them wrapped up in the blanket. She's just so stinkin cute!

We also put up the Christmas tree and decorations yesterday. I'm slightly an anal tree fluffer and I wish I wasn't because after I'm done my hands and arms look like they were attacked by a cat -but fluffing the tree, just so, is vital! We also always have candy cane ice cream after we put up the Christmas tree. We've done it since we were married and it always tastes so good. I just love this time of year. I love the smells, the songs, all the yummy food, and smiling faces. Hope that everyone has a happy holiday season!
