Willa Meets Santa

It is Willa's first Christmas so, we thought it only right that she meet jolly old Saint Nick. As you can see from the picture, he was jolly, she was unsure. She kept her eyes on her GranJan!




Thanksgiving

We had a great Thanksgiving spent with both of Willa's Grandmas. Here are some pics from a few of our fun filled days!
Goofing for the camera!

Outings and Family Fun

We don't know if it's teething or just a strange fascination with cabinet pulls but Willa is always trying to open cabinets with her mouth!

Since Bret works four tens he has Fridays off. We always try to do something fun as a family... our Family Fun Friday! This was Willa's first visit to the pool. As you can see, she loves it!!


Here Willa is heading out to story time at the library. They have a special story time for babies and toddlers. We sing and dance and, of course, read stories. This is our Tuesday outing.


On Monday's we spend the morning at Willa's play group/ Leah's moms group. All of us have little ones within a few months of eachother. It so fun to see them grow and play together!


Vanity thy name is Willa! Willa loves to look at herself in the mirror. She really cracks herself up! Here she is taking one last peak before we head to church.


We have family time each night just before Willa goes to bed. It usually entails a little cuddling on the couch and a lot of watching Lyle and Willa play.
