My 1st Christmas

So we celebrated our 1st Christmas with Mari and it was a great one.  Greg had the day off so we started it by getting up at 7:00, Mari was so excited for Santa.  We went downstairs to open gifts at about 9:00.  Mari loved all of her gifts from everyone and so did the dogs.  They couldn't get enough of all the treats they were given.

Then for the afternoon we just relaxed and made a turkey for dinner.  We had some friends over for Christmas dinner, they have a 9 month old boy named Cain.  It made for a great Christmas celebration.

WE HOPE EVERYONE HAD A VERY MERRY CHRISTMAS!!
We miss you all and can't wait to see you soon.

Here is the gift from her Uncle Brian and Aunt Celine.  It is her first camo outfit to go hunting.
A book from her Aunt Morgan and it is even signed by the author.
Then from her cousin Liam she got a car seat toy and a dress and some bows from Aunt Sarah and Uncle Cory.
On Christmas Eve we went to church and then had dinner with the Bodenhausen's.
Here are some pictures of Mari in her Christmas dress that she got from Grandpa and Grandma Nienhouse.
She wore her eskimo boots as well, it was a very cold night.

Santa's Little Helper!

Mari in front of her 1st Christmas tree.  We went with a small one this year hoping for a little less clean up of all the pine needles.  It was a perfect size for Mari, she loved watching the lights on the tree and railing.

We went to the lighting of Breckenridge and then to get her picture with Santa.  This was taken right before she turned 4 weeks, so she has changed a lot since then.  She slept the whole time we were there, but she looks like she enjoyed it.


This is one of the many pictures in her other Christmas dress for our Christmas card.
