Christmas Day

Christmas was another busy day! We had planned to do our family Christmas right away in the morning, but when I got out of the shower I found daddy and baby sleeping! I decided not to wake them up until it was time to go to Matt's parents.

At the Lindgrens we opened presents, ate once again, and hung out with his aunt, uncle, and cousin. They were excited to see McKenna!

Merry Christmas!

McKenna with all her fun gifts!

We celebrated our first Christmas as a family of three when we got home in the afternoon. Santa had filled our stockings and left McKenna a few gifts!


Hi friends!

Once Lexi found her bone she didn't care about the rest!

Christmas night Ben and Colleen Nemmers stopped by to see us. They were home from Colorado!

My parents came into town to join us for supper. We ended the night playing a new game- Five Crowns. McKenna got to join us!

A little tummy time on the table (her least favorite thing to do)!

We had a very special first Christmas with McKenna. I'm sad that it has come and gone already! We look forward to many years ahead of celebrating the true meaning of Christmas together.


Merry Christmas from the Lindgrens!


**Due to the weather we had to cancel our trip back to Harlan- my parents' hometown. We did not get to have Christmas with my mom's side nor my dad's side. This was a HUGE bummer, as we did not go back for Thanksgiving. The weather here in Cedar Falls would have allowed us to travel there (after Christmas), although the weather in southwest Iowa was terrible. My mom's parents were snowed in and my dad's mom was out of power for over 12 hours. We decided not to risk anything with a two month old and a three year old. The good news is we are heading back Martin Luther King weekend. Our family is very excited to meet McKenna for the first time!
