The Holidays

Rachael has really enjoyed the holidays. Santa was good to her. We spent Christmas with my family in Indiana, and Rachael was surrounded by dogs which was a gift in itself. She was such a happy baby around new faces and tons of family. She was instantly infatuated with her second cousin Nathan, my cousin Mike's son. The picture says it all! We all had a great time visiting, and I was happy to spend time with my sister Christy and her husband Brandon who were up from NC. We are all looking forward to Rachael's first birthday! She has grown so quickly. This time last year, I was sitting around feeling huge and waiting to go into labor. A short year later, she is walking and giggling and bringing joy to our lives each day. Happy New Year to you all!
