We had a wonderful Christmas...our best ever! Our best present, of course, was our beautiful little daughter. We had our church Christmas service on Sunday evening, the 23rd. After the service, Halle and Ellie were both being good at the same time. It was Christmas miracle, I think! So we had lots of fun taking pictures of them together.
Nathan is in love with the babies.
Christmas Eve was spent at our house. Gramee and Grampee Lott came up on Sunday and spent the night, and spent Christmas Eve day with us. That was fun.
This was Halle's stocking from Gramee and Grampee. You think she's going to be spoiled?
She's not quite sure what to think of her new rattle....
...or her new snowman.
This is a keepsake ornament that Brian's parents bought for us. It's so precious.
I made this for Brian's mom and dad. (I did one for my parents too.)
This is the lamp Halle got for her bedroom.
Christmas Eve night we went to a service at Slippery Rock Baptist Church. We had a wonderful time. It was good to see so many friends, many who had not yet seen Halle. I'm having a ball just showing her off! We dressed her up in this little outfit, and she looked just like a china doll.
Christmas Day was spent with the Lott family at Rick & Janelle's house. We went up for brunch at about 10:30, and spent the whole day. We had a wonderful time, as we always do. Everyone took turns holding Halle. I tried to get pictures of everyone with her, but I think I missed a few. Sorry!
These are some of the cousins.....Rick and Brian with Isaiah and Halle.

As you can see, Halle had to change outfits about halfway through the day. This is the Christmas sleeper and bib that Miss Jeannie gave her. It's so cute!
This is Isaiah. Isn't he adorable?
Brian getting ready to open his "snowman" package. I thought that was really neat!
Makenna opening her tea cup and saucer from Uncle Brian and Aunt Niki.
This is later in the evening when she had tea in her new cup.
Maddie opening her Care Bears DVD.
Rick and Janelle and the kids got a Nintendo Wii for Christmas. We all had fun playing with it that day. The best part was watching Brian and Rick boxing. It was really hilarious! I have a short video, but haven't figured out how to upload it yet.
We praise the Lord for giving us a wonderful holiday with our families and friends. God is so good to us! We especially thank Him for our "unexpected gift" - Halle.
