Christmas Day

Christmas Day was spent at our house. My mom and sister came in the morning to open gifts and we had a yummy breakfast. In the evening the rest of the gang came to have a turkey and tri-tip dinner. I think we all ate enough food for the next month!

Christmas Eve

We had a very busy Christmas Eve this year. Scott's grandparents from Las Vegas came in on Tuesday and stayed with us until today. We really enjoyed having them here with us.
In the early afternoon of Christmas Eve we went to Tom and Victoria's house to have our first dinner. The girls opened gifts and had a great time. We then headed off to church for the candle light service. Once that let out, we went to James and Lori's house for another meal. More presents followed dinner and by the end of the evening we were pooped. Did I mention we still had to go home and put together Madison's toys?! Midnight rolled around and we finally went to bed. =)

Welcome Baby Dutch!

Scott and Ashley welcomed Dutch Oliver Coleman into the world yesterday at 10:10am. He is a healthy little boy weighing 7lbs 11oz & 21 in. Ashley and baby are doing great and my brother has had a smile from ear to ear since he walked into the nursery with him to show him off to all of us. Praise God for a smooth

c-section delivery! And we are so excited to officially be Uncle Scott and Auntie Kim!!!

Savannah turns 6 months!

So I figure while the girls are napping and I have a free minute I should give a little update on our baby girl. She officially turned 6mths last week! Where has the time gone? One minute I am in the hospital, the next minute I am feeding her food in a high chair. They really do grow up in the blink of an eye.

Savannah has been such a joy and blessing to our family. We are still battling sleepless nights, but that huge smile she gives us when she wakes up in the morning more than makes up for it!

We had her ears pierced at her 6mth check up. She is now approaching 20lbs and following in her sisters footsteps as far as her size is concerned. That's right folks, we grow them big! Her first two bottom teeth popped through about two weeks ago and the doctor says she is working on the upper front four. She is rolling around the floor like crazy from one end to the next. We are working on sitting up still, but I know that will happen any day now along with crawling right around the corner. Once they are mobile everything changes! =)

Working on her pre-crawling skills...

Loves to play with her little feet...

So happy to be in her big girl high chair!

Gingerbread Day

Here are some pictures from our annual GIngerbread Day at The Shepherd's House. We stepped it up a little this year with a bounce house, pony rides and petting zoo. Madison must have been on the pony ride about ten times over the course of the morning. They had a great time making gingerbread houses and munching on the candy too.
PS. We truely missed all of you that are usually are there! It just isn't the same without you!

Great Grandpa Bland

Scott's grandpa was in town about a week ago visiting. We really enjoyed spending time with him! Here is a picture of all of us.
