Christmas and then some

We spent Christmas in California with the Mitchells. While it was a bit cold for that area, we still had a wonderful time with everyone. We had all the great food from In 'N Out to Yogurtland, and we played games, had backyard campfire. We loved it all.

Christmas morning:

Playing with one present--it didn't last long:

Picking limes with Papa. She loved this, and it was one of the first and few sunny days:

She LOVES this swing:

Thanks to Lorayne, we got to make these as one of our gifts. I'm not crafty, and yet, mine turned out ok. It's in our kitchen now:

Once we got back to Utah, we got to spend close to a week with my out-of-town siblings, which was so much fun. We did paintballing and fondue and got to see our niece and nephew baptized. Another wonderful week. It was tough to get back to reality.

Back at home in the crib she likes to bite with her new, beloved cow from her aunt and uncle:

On Thursday, she had to have her tear duct probed. Knowing she was going completely under made me a bit nervous, but she did really well and her eye looks great. Here she is just before the procedure. All of us were very tired since we had to be there at 6am. The blanket got to go with her when the anesthesiologist took her from our arms to go into the O.R.
