Christmas

We were able to go home for Christmas this year and had such a good time. It was so good to be able to see all the family! Here are a bunch of random pics of our Christmas this year. Thanks to all our family who made our trip great!

Stockings

Last year I made Christmas stockings for Preston, Gizmo and I and barely finished them before Christmas. So this year I had another stocking to make since Lorelai joined our family and I once again finished just a few days before Christmas. These stockings better last for years because they take forever to make. Anyway, here are the finished products!

Family!

I have been meaning to do this post since we got back from Az. I wanted to post pics of some of the family Lorelai met while we were visiting. Unfortunately, there's lots of family she met that I didn't get pics of. So watch out everyone because when we come for Christmas I will be after you with the camera!

Getting cuter everyday!

Nothing but smiles! This isn't a great pic, but it is the only one i have been able to get of her smiling. She smiles all the time, but I never have the camera ready.
She loves being held like this, especially when she gets fussy.
She fell asleep like this, if you can't tell her bum is sticking out and her face is smashed into the blanket. It doesn't look comfortable, but it was the only position she was happy with.

Yay for Snow!

We had our first snow a couple weeks ago, but this is the first one that totally covered everything. We love the snow! I took this picture in the morning and by the afternoon almost all of the snow was gone. It comes and goes quick, which is good because then we don't get sick of it! Gizmo especially loves to play in the snow and we can't wait until next year when we can introduce Lorelai to the snow! What a beautiful time of year it is!

Lorelai's Blessing

Last Sunday Preston was able to bless Lorelai in our ward.

Thanks Grandpas and Grandmas Dixon and Miller for coming to share this special day with us!

She had a beautiful white dress made by Grandma Miller, and Grandma Dixon got her cute little white shoes and socks.

Congrats Lindsey & Adrian

Preston's sister Lindsey got married on the 20th in Arizona to Adrian Gettler. We are so happy for you guys and so glad we were able to be down there to celebrate with you!

This was a big trip for Lorelai, she went on her first airplane and was so good, plus she got to meet lots of family! Doesn't she look cute in her little dress. She matched the same color as the wedding party and looked adorable!

Two weeks later...

I just can't put enough pictures of Lorelai on here, she is our everything! Tomorrow she will be two weeks, it is going fast. We have really enjoyed every moment. It was nice to have our moms here for a little while. We can't wait to see everyone in Az next week.

Grandma Miller was here for a week and Grandma Dixon was here for 4 days, Lorelai loved getting to know her Grandmas and mom loved not having to cook and being able to rest a little more. Thanks to our wonderful mothers for coming and helping out we love you both!

Gizmo and his little sister

Cute dress, but still a little big.

More Lorelai

Here's a few more pics since we got home. Our first night and day home has gone really well. She has been such a good baby. This little girl has stolen our hearts, we never knew how quickly you could love someone.
