Our Christmas Family Pictures 2010

An Elf, Two Reindeer and a Candy Cane

Our Elf and Silly Reindeer
The older two kids were dressed like Reindeer when they woke me up this morning so I had to dress Alivia in her Candy Cane outfit and get a picture in front of the tree.

So Sweet!

The cutest Candy Cane ever!

Alivia Mae 3 Months Old

Our little 3 Month Old

Our sweet girls. Ella is always wanting to wear matching outfits with Alivia. (This outfit is not an exact match but it's close enough.)

Our little girl is now three months. She is growing up so fast. We have had some new firsts this month Alivia rolled over from her tummy to her back for the first time, can sit very well in her Bumbo seat, and loves to giggle and is a constant talker. Her sleeping is going really well she only wakes up a couple of times a night cries and then she goes back to sleep. She is a fantastic little eater and is such an easy going extremely happy little girl. Recognizes her Mommy, Daddy, Sister and brother. Which the kids just love when she is gets so excited to see them.

Her letter completely written by Ella. She did ask for a little help with spelling.

Trying out her new Christmas present

Well after a busy Thanksgiving weekend in Hutch we hurried home to have my family over for Thanksgiving and Christmas. The kids were really excited that they got to open up some Christmas presents early.

Alivia's First Thanksgiving

Alivia and Gramma

Alivia meeting Great Grandma Tucker for the first time.

Hudson loved playing Barrel of Monkey's with everyone, especially Grandpa.

Ethan & Ella waiting for Thanksgiving lunch with their Kool-aid moustaches.

The table all set with some really hungry kids waiting to eat.

Usually it's the adults on their laptops, but this time it was the kids playing Webkinz.

This year we spent Thanksgiving in Hutchinson. The house seemed a little empty with only 16 kids out of the 24 grandkids. It was a great time with family and of course with great food and we even did a little Black Friday shopping (which I will never do again).

Alivia 2 Months Old

Well I can't believe it but she is already 2 months old. She is getting her own little personality. Alivia loves to smile and talk (a true girl already). She is growing so big and she weighs 11 lbs. 4 oz and is 23" tall. We are still working on sleeping through the night. She usually wakes up 2-3 times a night. When I go to pick her up in the middle of the night she starts smiling and cooing at me and it makes losing sleep all worth it. What a blessing she is and she is loved so much by her big brother and big sister.
