Happy 2007!

Happy New Year! Obviously, I am way way behind on the blogging... lots of fun getting in the way of computer time. Plus, I have had my husband home again and will for the rest of the week (yea!), so Reagan and I have just been enjoying his time off with us. All that to say, this post is quite long... and doesn't even come close to covering it all! There will have to be another one with our second Christmas celebration coming soon.

Reagan and I flew to Dallas to spend time with my family before Christmas. That also meant some much treasured time for friends too!! Kendra, Rach, and I didn't get our annual shopping trip in this year... too tough with little ones this time. But they all came over to my parents' house for an afternoon, and Susan and Clint got to hang out too, along with Kelsey! Fun times. I sure do miss you guys!!
Susan was cracking Reagan up for quite some time. Or it was the other way around... not sure. :)
One of her favorite passtimes these days is grabbing faces. Hair, nose, lips, eyelids, you name it. Here, she is giving Kendra some "face time."
This is actually the last pic in a series of events. Didn't have room to put them all, but Cassidee giving Reagan's head a sweet kiss was priceless!
Reagan and I got to meet Roselyn for the fist time. We feel like we are old friends though!! :) Our goal in life is for the 3 girls to be BFF... and they are off to a good start. We took TONS of pics, but I am just putting a few favorites (Rach and Kendra both have more on their blogs), including this one. Could Roselyn BE any cuter???
It still floors me to think the three of us all have daughters now... within 7 months of each other. Roselyn will be in a different grade than Cassidee and Reagan (unless she is a total genius and starts early... time will tell!), but we look so forward to watching them become bestest friends!

Mom has a thing about the cousins in matching pj's. She found these that coordinate, and the kids were SO cute in them for our Christmas morning.

When Adam and I were kids, we always had to stop in the hallway for a picture before we could go into the living room to see what Santa brought. Now, we all stop on our way downstairs. Fun tradition.

David and I thought that Reagan would be more into eating the wrapping paper than into the actual presents. Man, we were so wrong. She LOVED her presents (the paper too of course), and we had so much fun watching her eyes get HUGE as she "opened" each gift. Here, she is holding and reading and wanting to chew on her new big board books from Adam, Missy, and kids.
This was a series of pics too, but this is the last one. She got wide-eyed at the paper, started smiling as we took the paper off, then was CRACKING up at the piggy bank that sang and talked. Another great gift, Missy!!!
Woops, I meant to turn this pic.... her Grandmommy and Granddaddy gave her an Animal Train. It is a GREAT toy, and she LOVES it. We took it out of the packaging soon after this was taken because she wanted it so badly!! Now that she can sit up by herself (BIG GIRL!), she sits on the floor everyday playing with this thing.
Sweet "my first Christmas" baby in her stocking.
Here, she is getting the full effect of the lion from her stocking. She has seen Cassidee's turtle like this, and must have asked Grandmommy and Granddaddy for something like it! :)

That night, we went to my Aunt Leslie's house from the Gray Family Christmas. The girls had their matching cute dresses, and Corbin had a cool Christmas sports shirt... all compliments of Grandmommy of course! Look closely at Reagan in this pic and you will see one of her favorite things to do... spit raspberries. It is a constant in our house, and cracks us up!
We took a big family photo this year... why we haven't always done this, I will never know. But my grandparents, Reagan's great-grandparents, are on the couch. That's my Granddaddy Leon, the one that Reagan Noel (Leon backwards) is named after. We were missing a few this year, but mostly everyone was there. These are special times with my granddaddy, so this is a TREASURED picture to us!
Here is Reagan with her GreatGrandmommy. Seriously, isn't she just a beautiful lady??? They live with my parents now, so we got to spend lots of time with them. I have a great pic of Granddaddy kissing Reagan, but I can't get it off of my camera! Bummer.
Adley and Reagan hanging out with their GreatGrandmommy. Since my parents are called Grandmommy and Granddaddy also, Adley has named the great grandparents "the other Grandmommy and Granddaddy." So this pic is of the girls with The Other Grandmommy. :)
This is just a sweet pic of the cousins.

Hope everyone had as great of a Christmas as we did! And this was just the first one!! I'll post pics from the Beaver Christmas next. Whew, I am so behind!
