10 Month Pictures

Haley was a little sleepy, but with her teddy bear, the pictures turned out very cute. I can't believe she's 10 months old!

What a weekend...

Well...if anyone has been wondering why we haven't been calling, e-mailing, etc this weekend, Jeff and I have been in a sorry state. We got hit by some stomach flu bug on Friday and we've been so sick that we actually had to send Haley away with our siblings for the weekend. Jeff's parents and grandparents also got it but we have no idea what would have caused it to hit us all at the same time. It feels like we've been run over by a truck and then put through the washing machine...I'm guessing we are dealing with severe dehydration at this point. And, awesome as it is, my first day back to work since before Christmas is tomorrow. Yay!

Christmas Eve - Jammie night

It is a tradition in Jeff's family to have "Jammie night" on Christmas Eve where we all put on our comfy clothes, open presents, and eat fondue & other snacks. Family photo... Haley loves the teddy she discovered at Grandma & Grandpa's house. She's also wearing the new puffy white vest from them...

Christmas Eve

Haley with her matching dolly from Grandma Karla and Grandpa Steve. Karla found the doll after seeing Haley's Christmas outfit and all she had to do to complete the outfit was add the white bows! Hanging out on the couch with Great Uncle Mickey...

Haley loves her new rocking horse from Grammie and Grampa!

New bathroom

As an early Christmas present, Haley and I surprised Jeff with a new bathroom. Jeff's mom, Karla, and I spent all day painting the guest bathroom and when Jeff came home he found Haley with the paint and a bow :) There is finally a non-white room in our house! Coming soon - candle holder, Hawaiian marriage prayer and pictures from Hawaii that Jeff's sister Amy took when she lived there...

Christmas with Godparents

Haley's Godparents, Eric & Lindsey, are in town this week and came over on Thursday night for dinner. They brought a gift for Haley with them and she had a lot of fun with the wrapping paper :) Cool! A box!

Helping Daddy put it together...

Checking out the finishing touches with Eric...

Let's go for a ride!

It was a little past Haley's bed time by the time it was all finished so she wouldn't smile very much. We tried to trick her by giving her some of her bottle but didn't ever catch her at the right moment :)
