Misc Pictures from this week

Here are a few pictures of Samantha with her Aunt's Amy and Allison. We also spent a little time at a good family friend's home, Aunt Bobbie, and had a great time over there. Sami really enjoyed all the attention from her and her sister Patti.

Christmas Day

Christmas morning we opened presents and had breakfast with my immediate family. Sami was interested enough in unwrapping, but didn't care to much about the gifts until she finished opening everything. She even opened a few that were not hers. We had a lot of family come over for dinner in the afternoon. My parents, 4 of my sisters, my sister Sarah's boyfriend Ian and his mom Pat, and my Grandfather, with his girlfriend Ester and her daughter CarolAnn. Everyone seemed to enjoy the Wii we received for Christmas, especially the game Guitar Hero. It was a great time, although probably a little stressful for me since I was put on bed rest this week. (Yes I went to Christmas Eve services anyways).

We hope you all had a wonderful Christmas with your family's.

Christmas Eve Services

Here are a few pictures that we took from Christmas Eve services at Cornerstone. Samantha loved the petting zoo. Everytime she touched a new animal she shreaked in excitement and then ran off to pet the next one. It was really cute! She also was able to get into a bouncy house and we rode the hayride they have every year.

Zoo Lights

Brian and I bought Sam a membership to the zoo as part of her Christmas present. I know it is a little early. Brian was able to take Sam to the zoo 2 weeks ago and then we went to zoo lights this past weekend. Sami loved looking at all the animals and she was able to point out and name almost everyone we saw in the lights. They have a light show, as well, that changes colors and lights as the music played and Sami really liked the show.

We happend to go last year and I took the same picture of Brian and Sami at the same spot, so you can see how she has grown in the last year. Gosh she sure has grown.

Baby Shower

On Saturday my sisters Mary and Sarah threw me a baby shower. It was so nice to get together with our family and a few friends to celebrate the baby. Mari had me where a tiara for the day, so that is why a crown in on my head. Sami loves it! Here are a few pictures:
