My 2nd Christmas

Since we will be travelling the next two weekends, we decided to celebrate our family Christmas this past Saturday. Here is Fiona standing next to all her gifts:

Enjoying it so far

She got a stuffed lion that she just had to kiss and hug


She received a Learning Tablet from a couple in our small group. The volume is set so incredibly loud and there isn't a volume switch. After a few hours, we pulled out the duct tape and covered the speaker on the back to dull the noise a little




She got a $1 slinky in her stocking and it was her favorite gift though I still don't think she knows what to do with it

Are you supposed to eat it?




During Fiona's morning nap, Matt put her new tricycle together. Let's just say at the beginning, she wasn't very fond of it:

Need to take a water break

My friend Hudson

Hudson got to hang out for a few hours on Saturday night



My First Birthday

Her first birthday party went well. We didn't really get many pictures of guests or many pictures at all. For some reason I really don't feel too bad about it.









My first car (sort of)
