Happy New Year!

I can't believe it's 2008 already! 2007 sure was a great year for Anson and I with the birth of our little angel. But, we are looking forward to all of her firsts in this coming year.

Last night we had a small party with Jill & Josh, Mindy, Jen & Zack and Brent & Megan. We didn't get drunk like it years past but we still had fun. We played Mao (card game) and ate plenty of yummy foods. Here are some pics:

Lily was up until 1 with us. She didn't want to miss the fun. I think the rest of this week will be hard since her days and nights are mixed up.

More Christmas Fun!

Wednesday night, we went back over to Grandma's to see Uncle Dennis, Aunt Jeanne and the kids. Maryellen and Paul were there along with Jeremy and Vicky. We had a full house and it sure was fun!

Anson and I missed Weight Watchers this week...but we are definitely planning to get back into the program. It was really hard to stick to it with all the food we had around! I'll be happy if I maintain my weight!

Cousin Michael and Lily were Elmo twins. Great Grandma bought them each these adorable outfits.

Lily screaming and Michael wondering how something so little could be so loud!

More of Lily and Michael

I took Lily to the doctor's yesterday morning to get her second flu shot. She did really well considering. She weighs 16 pounds and 10 ounces. She is really close to crawling. She's been getting up on her knees, but then she ends up going backwards. It's only a matter of time. We've been working on waving bye bye. Sometimes she does put her hand up to wave. Also, her and Anson play together everynight. He can really get her to laugh out loud. It's hilarious. I will have to get it on video and post it for you. Goodnight!

Santa Claus Came to Our House

The stockings were hung by the door jam with care
In hopes that St. Nicholas would soon be there!

And, he sure did come...

And the best gift of all, is our little Lily bug! Christmas night Lily and I didn't get much sleep. Lily got her first cold. She was stuffy, sneezing and coughing all night. She just wanted me to hold her all night. She's feeling a little better today, but she's still fussy and sleepy. Poor little thing.

Lily did really well opening her presents. She really did tear open the paper. And, she's sitting up by herself for long periods of time now.
Santa brought me some really pretty clothes! Santa picked them out all by himself. He did a great job!
Sampson even got a few new toys...
Extreme closeup!

Oh wait, it was really a talking Care Bear. Lily loves her Care Bear. She sings along with it and squeals when it starts talking to her. It's adorable!

Lily is going to be a "DIVA"

Isn't she adorable? It's a Baby J Lo. Grandma Cross couldn't resist this previous outfit.
