This year my parents had everyone come home for christmas...It was so much fun to see my siblings and spend some time with them. My sister Jennie even stayed at my house it was fun to have her and her family in my home though we lived at my parents house most of the time. It was also the first time that most of my sibling have seen Leah since she was born. It was fun to show her off...we love her so much. On Christmas eve my family all gathered around and we read the story of Jesus birth. we then read the story of the white stocking(a family tradition), if you dont know the story it is about christ and how we all need to remember him
on christmas and though out this next year. So what you do is write down a gift that you would like to give him and put it in christ stocking and then next year you get out your gift and see how you did. Justin and I wrote almost the same item which was pretty funny...and good i guess...so we
can work at it together. After
that all the kids got to open on present from under the tree. Leah got to open her very first christmas pajamas...they were so cute. They were these little pink pj's with snowmen on them...I think she really liked them...After all the children went to sleep...then the fun began with all of playing santa's helpers...I am glade justin and I didnt have to put very much together because man it took a long time for others to finish...needless to say we did not get very much
sleep. The next morning bright and early we all gathered in the living room awaiting to go downstairs to see what santa brought...it was fun to watch the kids get really excited to see what they would get. Leah seemed so excited to get a new high chair...and some new clothes and some toys. It was so cute she would smile and was so content the whole time we were opening presents. It was truly a fun christmas to spend time with family...here are some fun pictures of the fun time
that we spent together..
On sunday we blessed our daughter Leah. It was such a wonderful day...Leah looked so cute in her white dress. Since Justin's brother John had there baby two weeks after we had Leah we decided to have both blessing on the same day. Justin parents were able to come along with his brother Jesse and his family. My parents were also there along with my brother jordan, sister nichole's family along with my sister in law Ashely and her family...So early that morning we went and watched john bless his little boy Hezekiah Samuel Rowley. We then went to our ard and blessed Leah then had a lunchen with both families..It really was a great day...Here are some pictures of the blessing...
Leah had her frist Christmas...
Leah loves her bath time...she is our little princess. 
When leah sleeps she is out...you can not wake her up if you tried...
