Anna's First Christmas!

For the last two and a half weeks, Dan and I were in Utah, visiting our families. We had a lot of fun, showing off Anna to our families and friends. She had a blast because there were always people around. She is really a social baby and loves lots of people so she can smile at them and be entertained by them as well. It's so cute.

Anna got spoiled on Christmas by her grandparents (Dan's parents). Grandma bought her a lot of toys. His dad was working on something the whole time before Christmas and wouldn't let us in his shop. So Christmas day he brings out a little rocking horse that he made for her. It is so cute!

The finished product!

I love these pictures because she looks so happy. We also visited my family at my brother Chad's house. They had a baby, Cooper, in March, (or as his older sister says, Coofer), Anna was born in July, and my sister Kathleen had a baby, Kaia, in November. So here they are, all three cousins born in the same year. This is the best shot we could get of three babies at once. :)

Anna's great grandma (my grandma) sent her the cutest little outfit. I love it. Cousin Kaia has the same outfit. I think this picture is one my new favorites.

Her smile is to die for!!!

Also while in Utah, it snowed about every other day, so we took advantage of that and took Anna out for a little tromp in the snow. She loved it! We wanted to have her lie in the snow and make a snow angel, but she would have gotten all wet and probably wouldn't have had much fun. Next year, I guess.

So overall our trip was a lot of fun. We got to spend time with family, plus friends that we never get to see. We also got to eat at our favorite restaurants-PF Changs, Nicolitalia's, Cafe Rio. Place that we never get to eat at, unless we're in Utah. We were glad to be home though, only because it's hard to be away from your own house when you have a little baby. Poor Dan's family. Every time Anna was asleep everyone had to whisper and be super quiet. They weren't used to it, but tried really hard.
