Tinley's first Christmas!



 We had a great first Christmas with Tinley!  Children really bring a new meaning to Christmas! We did so much more this Christmas having Tinley so that she could experience more and, I should confess, so that we could show her off in her Christmas outfits! I learned many valuable lessons this Christmas though: 1- Buy christmas outfits way before the season in order to get more wear out of them, 2-Wrapping paper is the real present (I could have just wrapped old toys and she still would have loved it), 3- do the actual Christmas with Tinley in the morning opposed to at night before she goes to bed... One of the best things about Christmas besides sharing it with a baby and your spouse is spending it with family and friends! We went up to St.Louis to celebrate with Michael's side of the family, and celebrated at our house with my parents and sister. We also feel so blessed to have so many friends to share the holiday with and we even got to see our dear friends the deRoos' who came up to visit with us!  We are so thankful for 2011 and looking forward to 2012!
