Christmas Memories 2010

December 27, 2010 by Aliesha

We had a great Christmas together as a family!  It was so fun having a cute BABY this year!

Daddy and Vera with her presents this year: a wooden ABC puzzle, a ABC Bible storybook, and a blue onesie with red birds on it.

Our Christmas morning breakfast: cheese omelets, bacon, fresh pineapple, homemade cinnamon rolls, and orange juice.

Vera’s cute Christmas jammies and fun bib (both gifts).

Our Christmas dinner: apricot white-wine glazed Cornish hens, cranberry pecan stuffing, twice stuffed baked potatoes, garlic butter green beans, fruit salad, and sweet potato casserole.

Vera, enjoying her puzzle.

Sweet baby feet!

Hope you all had a very merry Christmas with your families as well!  If you haven’t yet, please read Kate’s final Advent post here.  It’s so good!

A Merry Christmas to You and Yours!

December 24, 2010 by Aliesha

May you enjoy this season as you celebrate with your family! But most of all, may you understand the true meaning of Christmas and allow the good news of the Gospel to bring you joy today and every day!

Vera’s Four Months Old!

December 19, 2010 by Aliesha

Can you believe our sweet Vera is 1/3 of a year?  She’s our darling and we love her to pieces!

Some milestones:
– will lock her knees and “stand” on our laps when we’re holding her
– smiles and giggles at us!
– makes funny faces
– loves it when we sing Christmas carols to her!
– is teething
– slept a record 9.5 hours last night (not normal…haha…just the record)
– is experiencing her first cold
– sucks on her hands and plays with her fingers
– likes it when we toss her in the air
– likes our Christmas tree
– takes 2 or 3 naps a day
– goes to bed at 9pm
– weighs around 13.5 pounds

We adore our sweet girly!

P.S. There has been some confusion over the pronunciation of Vera’s name (since there are multiple ways of pronouncing both names).  Thought we’d set it straight: it’s VAIR-uh ee-VAN-juh-leen.
