Christmas Madness

Hello everyone,

Natalie LOVED Christmas, so much that she stayed up at Grandma and Grandpa's house until we left at 11:30 on Christmas night. She didn't want to sleep through all the unwrapping. She got some cool gifts, and our house is a mess with toys. The house seems to get smaller every time we open a new box. =)

Today Natalie and I met daddy downtown for the Macy's 8th floor exhibit. We didn't get to it before Christmas, but Natalie doesn't know what's going on, so it went well. She loved it. She was pointing and laughing and pointing some more. Next year, we'll try to get there before the big day so Santa's still around.

Natalie wanted to play with cousin Annika's gift before we wrapped it. She looks pretty guilty!

Party

Natalie's first birthday party was a hit. A lot of people came to play with Natalie and watch her eat cake. This video is kind of long, a little under five minutes, but we had to put some fun stuff in! There is also a new album of pics.

1!

Natalie had a fun b-day and even opened some presents! She is VERY excited about her big party tomorrow!

Too long!

It's been a really long time since we posted anything. Sorry about that folks! It's been a busy time, and now we're getting ready for her big party on Saturday! We can't wait. It should be a fun time. Natalie told me she's looking forward to it too. Today she did hold up her toy phone to me and say da-dee. I just assume she was calling her dad. She's so smart!
