Christmas Catch-Up

Well, life is finally settling down a bit . . . we've had an exciting few weeks! Even thought it's been a whole month since Christmas, I still wanted to share some pictures. We had a quiet St. Louis Christmas, the first one Luke and I have had together away from Utah. We missed everyone of course, but we also enjoyed the simplicity of being our own little family in our own home. Here are a few pictures.

Katie and Abby with some friends on Christmas Eve--we had dinner and games with a few families at our church building

Katie and Abby discovering the doll house that Santa brought

Katie pondering . . . and enjoying the dolly Abby gave her. (Abby was so cute when we did her Christmas shopping at Dollar Tree. She chose all the gifts herself, and they were all hits! Daddy got gummy bears, Katie this dolly, and Alex a little blanket.)

The cookie plate left out for Santa & crew

Alex trying out his new "Bumbo seat," with Katie supervising :)

Katie quickly getting the hang of unwrapping . . .

Abby modeling her new dress and putting her new "art kit" to good use

After a fun Christmas morning, we spent the afternoon at the home of some friends from church. It was a great day!
