December

I feel like December was over in about 5 minutes this year, but I suppose with a newborn thats not crazy.

It was a good one, even if we didn't do as much as we normally would because we had sweet little Penelope.

Andy took up decorating this year since I had only given birth 2 days before and I was so grateful.  He did a great job!

We donated toys for Thomas, played in the snow and made a trip to Gardner Village.

We also spent a lot of time inside cuddling Penny, and playing.

Im really glad that on the Eve of Christmas Eve we went to the Grand American Hotel downtown, because it is so magical at Christmas.  They make a huge gingerbread house every year and have fun window displays to look at.

Heres Penny not caring 

We were also able to bless Penny along with her cousin Timothy, they are only 5 week apart.  It was really nice to have a big portion of the family gathered to share in that special time.
