Christmas Eve 2010

Christmas Eve was spent at the annual Dickinson/Watson/Byrd family party.  We headed to my cousin Laurie's house for a grand meal, lots of catching up with family and gifts for the kids.  We had a great time and Hannah loved all the animals and chasing the fun remote control cars that her cousins received.  All that visiting wore her out- Hannah fell asleep before we left Laurie's and continued to sleep through the night: 12 hours in all!

Merry Christmas! 

Christmas 2010, part 2

We had Christmas with Mimi Jane on Saturday.  We all opened one present each; we will open the rest on our return trip.  Hannah had lots of fun opening her books and Mimi's chocolates.

Hannah in a basket! 10 months old

We celebrated our Christmas with Nana, Mimi Jane, Uncle Adam, Aunt Kirstin, Burke and Pipe Jane a few days after Thanksgiving.  We decorated the tree and had a fabulous holiday meal of Taco Bueno :)  Then the kids exchanged presents.  Hannah was thrilled with her books, beautiful homemade dress and ornaments.  We loved spending time with all the Gentrys for our first Christmas.

Also, Hannah turned 10 months old today!

For Mimi Jo- turtlenecks!

Just for Mimi Jo- Here are some shots of Hannah in a turtleneck!  (My Mom loves loves loves turtlenecks and thinks everyone else should love them too!)

Please also notice Hannah's new trick: pulling up on the recliner!

Molly on a diet?

Yes, Molly is on a diet.  A restricted diet- for some digestive problems- not on a weight issue diet.  More green and less orange for Molly!  She is not thrilled about this change but we are already seeing some improvement.

I wish wish wish I could get a picture of Hannah and Molly together.  But, alas, if they are anywhere near each other, I have to protect Molly's ears from Hannah's grabby hands!

Oh how she's grown!

Here is a look back at what Hannah looked like in April.  See how much she has grown! Aaron thinks all her cute hair makes her look like a little girl now instead of a baby.  (By the way- we are taking pictures of Hannah with her bears each month.)

In other news: Hannah can now crawl forward (she already had backwards and sideways down)!  And my life has just gotten much more complicated.

Nana and pajamas

The grandkids took pictures with Nana in matching moose pajamas!
