Blogging Haitus

Between the end of school (Dec. 18) and having my family here over Christmas I have been in quite the blogging haitus, haven't I? But with the sentence of bed rest now hanging over my head (I was told two days ago at my midwife appointment that due to my high blood pressure she wants me to stay sitting/laying down for 18-20 hours/day) I should have more time to devote to the blog... which is good since once Wes gets here I somehow doubt I'll have much time (though I promise Annie, I'll update with pictures as much as I can).

But for now I thought I'd post some Christmas photos... so, here are a few pictures from our Christmas day...

Here is the Christmas tree "Raley-proofed" before their arrival...


Raley and I after their arrival at our house Christmas Eve.


Three generations of ladies in our family (my mom, Raley and my sister)


Raley with HER pile of presents in front of her... any clue that she is an only grand child?? And I believe this is the closest Tater was to Raley all week long... he has some major adjusting to do when Wesley gets here.

It didn't take her long to figure out this opening present thing... though she did get overwhelmed easily. Not a big deal though... it just meant we stretched out opening her presents for two days!

Just to show that there were other presents opened... here is Reid opening one with my dad in the background.

One of many adorable pictures of Winston and Raley... he was SO good with her. He definitely one the good dog with toddler award.

Mom opening one of her hand-made presents from Reid's shop

Raley examining her present from aunt Jenna and uncle Reid (a six foot long polar fleece "Nemo" fish)


Alright... so it might be a little big for her right now but she'll grow into it!

And that concludes the day of Christmas... next post, the rest of the week (or at least parts of it).
