Uncle Derek you can never find him w/out a knife

Brie's first Christmas we stayed at Grandma and Papa Clarks Christmas Eve. We got up at about 7:30 am when Grandma came in our room with the video camera. Aunt Darcie organized all the gifts on the living room floor then the fun began. We started with Brielle and she liked the opening the gifts part and trying to eat the wrapping paper. But once we got to the actual present she screamed. So we all took turns letting her rip the paper off until she decided she needed a nap. Then we all helped Uncle Derek make breakfast. We had crepes, hashbrowns, eggs and ham. Then we all just lounged around watched movies and played WII.

Money Baby

She looks so guilty. I love it

We had to pull money out of our savings account to put into checking, But before we did that we wanted to take a few pictures.

Nestler Christmas

Here is Brie wanting to eat the paper

We were able to celebrate Christmas with the Nestlers from Dec 17-19. We had a lot of fun. Friday night everyone came over to our house and watched a movie, then on Sat we got up and had breakfast at our house. Then went to Pine Bowl and bowled a few games. After that we came back here to have soup and relax and watch TV. Then we had dinner at Grandpa and Grandma Nestlers house and opened gifts. Brie was more interested in the paper than the gifts but loved them.

Back To Work

I had a hard time I had to go back to work on November 29th. It was one of the hardest things I have ever had to do. I cried everyday driving to work, in fact the first day someone asked how my baby was and I bust out in tears. I have since been able to get a job from home that I will start this next week. Thank goodness for prayers.

Four Months Old

Brielle is 11.5 lbs and getting more and more active. She is cooing all the time and loves to hear her own voice. She will pull herself up w/your help to sitting then standing. She smiles all the time and we love to be around her. She had to have her first shots and did pretty well. I sent Mike in to be the one who was in the room with her, while I worked. She was feverish for the first few days but then was back to normal.
