Christmas Adventure and 5 month update

December was a very busy and exciting month for us. I guess that's what happens when you and your spouse are from different states and you have your first child...lots of traveling involved! At the beginning of the month, Angela and I took the girls to get a few pics taken in their Christmas dresses from their Grammy. Here's what we could get!!








On December 16th, we headed out for our Christmas journey of visiting Brandon's family. We spent that night as well as the next night in Springfield, Missouri with our good friends Greg and Chenille Gaumer. The morning of the 18th we set out for Indianapolis. On the 19th, we had a big Christmas with all of Brandon's extended family on his mom's side. Everyone loved Amoriyah and gave her LOTS of attention! That night, we drove to Cinncinati to spend the night with Brandon's Great Aunt Frances and some of his cousins. They are a lot of fun. The next night we headed back to Indy to spend the rest of the week visiting and spending more time with all of Brandon's parents and grandparents. The morning of the 27th we headed back for home, spending another 2 nights in Springfield on the way. The next night we spent in Kaufman with my parents, Grammy and Pop, and my grandmother, Mamaw, before finally heading home to enjoy our little family "Christmas morning" on the morning of the 31st!! It was a long trip with lots of driving but we enjoyed seeing our families and Amoriyah handled all of it so well!

Amoriyah's first snow!

I can't believe how much she's grown and what progress developmentally she's made. This month she started holding her toys and eating some rice cereal and of course took her first big trip and had her first Christmas!
