Our Christmas...2011

This was truly a Christmas to Remember!
Our little family spent Christmas Eve at home, snuggled up on the couch, drinking Mimosas, watching the Chargers game and a Christmas movie. It was the first year in both of our lives that we didn't spend it with family, but now we have our own little family to celebrate with. 




Christmas morning we woke up to gifts under the tree, Christmas Music on the record player, cinnamon rolls in the oven and a home full of baby noises and squishy cheeks! We opened our gifts, got ready and loaded up our baby girl for her first outing and Christmas! We headed over to Bryan and Amber's to have breakfast and spend the morning with the Cote's and Thrane's!










I found Daddy his favorite childhood Christmas book to have for his little girl!





Marley loved her dress up clothes from us!


 We then went to Grandpa and Grandma Kipp's for another special time of visiting, tamales, and gifts!






Grandma made this play house for Zoe to bring out every Christmas...it has carpet inside and pictures of the family!


Very proud Grandparents



Our very first Christmas picture as a family!!

LOVE THEM 





All I have wanted for so long was to have my grandparents see me as a mommy!!!



Then...Santa came to visit!!! 




Santa, I know him!!!


Zoe loved being in Santas warm arms!



We had such a wonderful Christmas full of family and love. We were all spoiled, but this year our most precious gift didn't come under the tree!

We love our Santa Baby!

At 6:54 p.m. today...

7 Days=1 Week Old
Today my baby girl turned one week old...time is already going by too fast!

My mom came down to spend the day with us and help me clean the house. What would i do without my mommy, I hope baby girl says that someday?

In the last week you were born, you...
Had your first Christmas
Sat on Santa's lap for the first time
Met your Family and close Friends
Visited Grandma and Grandpa Kipp's
Fell in Love with your swing
Listened to hours of Adele and Piano music
Slept in your bassinet


Mommy and Daddy could stare at you for hours while kissing those amazingly squishy cheeks! You are amazing and perfect and we do not know what we did to deserve you!
Happy One Week baby Girl...



-xoxo Mommy

After Baby Fashion...

















It is weird to be looking in my closet wondering if what I am about to put on it "nursing accessible"... Might have to organize closet, get rid of stuff, and buy some easy nursing staple pieces, but for now I have my nursing tanks that will be recycled daily under sweaters and jackets! 
Happy nursing= Happy baby + Happy Mommy

-xoxo Mommy and Baby Girl
