A Very Merry Christmas

Miles' First Christmastime

This has been a wonderful time of celebration, visiting, and amazing food.  Miles and I got to spend lots and lots of time together this Christmas - I am so blessed to have to much time off as a teacher.

We got packages from loved ones far away (Thank you to Grandpa; Amie, GrandDave, Scotty, Sara, Spencer, and Olivia; and of course to Santa!), and cards and pictures from so many more!


To start of the picture update, let's go back about 3 weeks to when Miles was starting to move more...
