First Christmas!

Sorry this is so late - I was sure I added the Christmas day pictures.

This was an interesting Christmas. We were planning on celebrating it at Aunt Linda and Uncle Bubba's (Dan's) place. But Uncle Dan and Brad was sick. So on Christmas day it got moved to Grandmas house. We had a good time. The sad thing is that my mom, my grandma, Uncle Art and Bryan also got sick, but after Christmas. Thank God that the girls stayed healthy!
Here are some pictures!

Uncle Bubba is well again!

So Uncle Dan and other members of my family was sick over Christmas. He wanted to see the girls before we went back to Michigan. So the day we were leaving he came over to hang out with Elizabeth and Anna. Brad and Aunt Linda also came over.

We love playing with our friends. Isaac is fun. He loves playing ball with us. Hannah is now sitting and is starting to play ball with us.

And we are looking forward to many sleepovers and girl party’s.....

Anna

Some of you have heard. Anna took a walk and fell down a small sett of stairs in the back of the house. She fractured her upper right arm. She is doing great. Her arm is in a sling and she uses her hand to pick up toys and hold her bottle. She just can't put any weight on in or lift it to high.
