Christmas gifts

Sitting my gift.

Christmas in TN. My first gift of the season. I wasn't sure what to do.

The Snow in the Mountains of NC on the way to TN

My family was meeting us in TN for the weekend. Since, I-40 is shut down because of a rock slide we had to take some back roads. We kept in communication with my family and they said the interstates where just as bad. When we first started we didn't think we were going to make it, but we got in a line of cars and made it. The farther west we went, the less snow we saw. The moutains of North Carolina got a lot of snow and then once we got to Pigeon Forge there was
NOTHING. We were hoping there would be a little so Christianna could play in it. In Newport, TN we got on I-40, it was really bad and then once we got farther west on I-40 closer to our exit for Pigeon Forge it turned into rain and the snow was no more.

Sitting on the road trying to get down the mountain. There was a tracker trailer was trying to come up the snowy road.

Christmas Tree

I was not very happy to have my piture taken. I wanted to play with the tree.

I didn't mind wearing mommy's Christmas hat.

Daddy and me when we picked out our Christmas Tree.

I really like the lights!

The feeling of the tree felt weird in my hand

I couldn't keep my hand off the tree.

I really liked the lights. You get me close enough to the tree I would grap it.

The past few months.

Yes, Yes!! I know it has been a very long time since I posted something. The last time I posted things was Halloween. Lost of things have happened since I posted. We celebrated our first Thanksgiving, Christmas and New Year's day as a family. We spent Thanksgiving in VA, with my family. It was a lot of fun. My Aunt Gwen was able to spent Thanksgiving Day at my mom and dad's along with my Grandparents. Then Christmas was spent in NC. Christianna loved the tree and the lights. We bought a real tree. Kevin and I love real trees. Christianna loved looking at the lights. (Pictures will come later.) We had a wonderful Christmas day except Chrisitanna got sick. She started to run a temp. during the night. We started giving her meds. We couldn't get the temp. down so we took her to the ER. They said that she had a viral infection and just to keep doing the things that we where doing. Well, that Sunday I had to take Kevin to the ER because he got what Christianna had, but worse. He had to be given 2 things of liquid. Kevin finally got better by Jan 1 for New years, but it took Christianna a little longer. I am very thankful that God allowed me to stay well through this.

That brings me to 2010. We has been great! We celebrated Christianna's First Birthday well friends and family. We were suppose to have the party on Jan 31, but NC finally got snow! We postponed it to Feb 7. We lots of friends and family there to join in the fun. She was not very big into her cake. 2010 is going to be a very interesting year, if the beginning is any evident to what the year will hold.

Halloween!

Christianna's first Halloween. She really didn't mind dressing up and mommy enjoyed dressing her little lady in a bug costume. We went trick or treating. There were a couple of them that were not home, but Bruce and Alma, and Debbie were home and they enjoyed seeing Little Christianna in her costume. We ended the night at Uncle Lanny and Aunt Esther's house. Grammy and Grandpa were there to help past out candy. It was a lot of fun.

I not sure what to think about all of this.

The ladybug was trying to fly away.

I'm smiling cause buck is full of goodies.

Is that really all mine?!

Christianna with "Aunt Debbie"

8 monthes old toay!

I know that we have not updated our blog lately, but with an 8 month old it's hard to do keep up with this. Well, a lot had happened since I last blogged. Christianna is over 16 lbs. She was 16.4 one month ago today. She was 24 1/2 inches long. She now has caught up in weight with the two little boys in our church that was born after her. She is not as tall as she is suppose to be, but she is still growing. In Aug, We took Christianna swimming for the first time. She loved the water and all she wanted to do was splash around. Sept. Kevin and I celebrated our 2nd anniversary, we went back to Myrtle Beach. Christianna stayed with Kevin's parents and they met us at Myrtle Beach on Thursday. We took her to the beach for the first time. She didn't like the beach water, but loved the pool. Kevin and I are so glad she is not scared of water, but that can be a bad thing, too. Next year when we go back I bet it will be really hard to get her out of the water. She as started eating baby food. She really likes the sweeter things, like her mommy and daddy! She is starting to sit up by herself. She loves to play and look at bright colorful things. I has been so much fun to watch Christianna learn and grow these past 8 months.

Taken on Christianna's first 4th of July.

In July, Christianna was the miniature bride in Kevin's cousin's wedding. As you can see, she was a cutie!

This is a silly face I caught Christianna making. She looks like she is laughing and pointing at something.

She is sitting in my rocking chair that I had when I was little.

This is her little have a smile! Isn't she big.
