We've been at my parents house in California for Christmas and it has been so nice! I'm loving the warmer temperatures, pretty sure Pete isn't though.
Hazel has learned to roll from back to tummy, but has forgotten how to roll tummy to back so she gets very frustrated after a few minutes.
She has also discovered her toes and ears and has started making some new sounds. She still is such a happy baby and is loving all the attention from her aunts and uncles.
My parents can't get enough of her! My dad doesn't get much time since he works all day and usually gets in around her bedtime, but my mom has been trying so hard to get Hazel to cuddle with her every day. It's quite entertaining.
We were able to take family pictures this year since we were all home. First time in 6 years! We've added 4 new members to the group since then and trying to get a good picture with all of us smiling was rough.
We had a family friend (@mimisnowphotography) take the pictures Christmas Eve in her parents yard and it went pretty well considering how many there were of us.
Pete, Hazel and I showed up a few minutes early so we could take our own family photos and these are my favorite!
Hazel couldn't keep her fingers out of her mouth! But her faces are hilarious.
Disregard my receding hairline. Right before we flew I somehow lost a big section of hair and it's so sad.
She wasn't so sure about us switching sides or giving her kisses.
She's already such a daddy's girl
This was the last one of our individual family photos and I thought it fitting that she's giving the bird to the photographer! In her defense it was nap time.
Mi familia.
Travis suggested we do a fighting picture and this is what happened haha!
My dad loves baby Hazelnut, but he hates her bows and always takes them off.
All the grandkids.
My mom wanted a picture with Hazel and I love that crooked smile. Plus she's waving at the camera. So cute!
I love being home! We've been able to go on walks almost everyday, we heard one of the worst choir numbers ever, we helped my dad move and vaccinate cows, we went fishing, Pete helped my brother Travis work on our 4-wheeler and Pete has unlocked almost all of our Mario Kart prizes on the Wii. i love being home!
I hope everyone had a fabulous Christmas and that the New Year will bring you joy. :)


















I looooooove the photos! You're going to have to help me choose my favorite!
