Merry Christmas

I hope everyone had a wonderful Christmas this year! Here are a few pictures from the last few days and all the fun we had : ).

Here is our little Christmas tree and stockings. We went and got a little tree instead of using our big one so that way Navie couldn't get to it and pull all the ornaments off. I missed having my big tree though, but I'm glad we did the little one. There is no way I would have been able to keep up with Navie if we used the big tree.


Here is Navie in her funny winter hat : ). She loves it!


Here is Navie and Cris playing their own version of "teddy bear twister". This is an old quilt that Cris had as a kid. Navie loves all the bears : ).

Navie opening presents.

Santa brought Navie a set a DVD's that teaches babies to read. You can start as early as 3 months old. Navie loves books so hopefully this will help her to read. Its never too early to start. Plus since she does love books we want to strike will the iron is hot : )

Of course we had our traditional cornish hens. Yummy!

After dinner we went to the Chick family gift exchange. Here I am with Navie.

Navie had to help everyone open their presents. Here she is with Great Grandma Strunk's puppy. She was giving it kisses.

This is Navie's big gift. Its a ladybug tent with a tunnel! I love it and I think Navie does too : )

Navie and cousin Will inside the tent.

Yesterday we were able to get the great grandkids on the Schaeffer side of the family together. It was so much fun to see all the little babies playing with each other. Sadly Holly wasn't there with Caprie, and Loretta wasn't there with Cady. Also Margets oldest son wasn't there either. So total, there were 2 moms and 3 kids not there. Hopefully next year we can get everyone together.

Let It Snow!

Well, I don't think that I need to tell everyone that we have had snow : ). So here are a few pictures from today.


This is a cake that I made yesterday, only if I had known what an omen it would turn out to be : )

Here is Navie outside enjoying the snow.

Here she is trying to catch the snow.

Here we are out on the back deck. This shows you how much snow we got and it was only 1:00 pm. Its still snowing now and its a little after 6:00pm! Plus this is behind the house so its protected by the fence from the all the drifting.

Navie again enjoying the snow : )

For fun we decided to stick Navie in the snow. She really didn't mind it all. Sadly though she did take a nosedive right into a pile earlier.

FedEx had to close today so Cris was able to be home with us and enjoy the day off. The only bad thing is, is that he has to work Sunday to make up for it. They are desperate to get these packages out. Christmas is only 6 days away! And if for some reason they can't go out Sunday then he will have to work Christmas. Please let the roads be fine tomorrow!!!

Our Little Big Girl

Our little girl is growing into such a sweet big girl. Navie had a doctors appointment today and she did so well. Navie was fascinated with her belly button while we were waiting for the doctor to come in. She didn't fuss once. She even gave the doctor a little smile when he picked her up : ). So Navie's new stats are...... 10 teeth, 29 1/2 in. long, 20 lbs. 7oz., 17ish in. head, and she is in the 15th percentile of babies her age. Even though she is getting big to us I guess you can say that she is still pretty small for her age. Heck, 85% of kids her age are bigger than her : ).

Here is a video Navie's happy feet. I tried to upload this video before but for some reason it wouldn't do it. I hope its working now : )
