Christmas continues...

We hosted the Stevens' Family Christmas here on Friday.  Twenty-seven family members were here and things went very well.

An empty box is all she needs :)

Audrey's First Christmas!

We had a very good Christmas Eve and Day spending time with Brian's family.  However the nighttime was not so good.  Audrey was very upset when she heard a man would be coming down the chimney and proceeded to scream for 50 minutes straight in the middle of the night.  And that was just one of many awakenings in the night.  So as soon as the company left, we both took a nap!

 

Audrey going at her first present.  She liked the bows.

We went for a cold walk in the afternoon, so had to lay Audrey by the fire to defrost.  Her second nap.

This is my weird child who fell asleep face first in the couch.  Her fourth nap.

It's been a while...

I got a little lazy with updating this, it's been a busy month!

Audrey met Santa.  She liked his beard, but didn't like it for too long. 

I call this Audrey's zoolander pose

Bahamas!

We have returned from our (business) vacation in the Bahamas!  We had a good time.  Spent a lot of time in the water; kiddy pool for Audrey and lazy river, waterslides and ocean for the adults.  Only rain was the day we left.

 

Audrey's first airplane ride.  She did great; let out a few screams, but don't think anyone got too annoyed with us.

Audrey getting the lay of the land with Daddy on the first day.  I was attending my conference.

Audrey is excited...

...until she sees what is behind her!

Trying out the waterslide, she wasn't a fan.

Jumping the waves in the ocean.  It was cold water!

Grandma and Grandpa came along to help watch Audrey while Brian and I enjoyed the waterslides.  Their help was much appreciated.
