Christmas and New Year's

Hello! It's been a while, and I've gotten several complaints and questions, so here's an impromptu update...pictures to come!

Christmas was definitely a new experience this year now that we have a baby. Abbey and I went down to Houston a week before Christmas, and ended up staying for two weeks! Chris met us down there a few days after we arrived.

She had lots of fun playing with two of her cousins, Sidney and Joe, and can't wait to meet the rest of them ASAP! Abbey got the usual amount (TONS) of toys to play with at Christmas, but the real surprise came New Year's Day...she rolled over for the first time! On the first day of the year! Chris and I weren't there to see it, but you can believe we got a phone call early in the morning when it happened! Ok...maybe it was more like mid-morning or early afternoon :) We were quite the proud parents, but we did immediately go back to sleep after we got the call!

We have yet to see this new trick of Abbey's, so I'm not quite sure I believe you, Mom and Dad! As soon as I have pictures of Christmas, I'll upload them, but here are a few to tide you over until then...these pictures link to another website, so click on them to see them enlarged. Enjoy!
