Happy New Year!




The new year is off to a good start!  We enjoyed our time visiting with Jamie's family over the holidays, then just a few days later, William's family arrived in Utah to visit their first grandchild (and us, too)!
Aside from constantly staring at Kate, we also managed to get in a couple games of bowling, do a little shopping, celebrate Christmas and go snowmobiling!  It was all fun, but snowmobiling was a blast!  We had never been, and our soon-to-be brother-in-law :) was really interested in going.  We drove to Midway and had a 2-hour 'tour' with plenty of playing around and beautiful scenery (the trails through the trees were gorgeous!).  
Kate is getting so cute!  She always was cute ;), but she's starting to develop a bit more of a personality and is SO close to smiling.  She makes noises all the time and loves to snuggle with us (when she's not stretching out all her limbs).  It's hard to believe she's almost 7 weeks old!
A few cute photos this week - one of Kate in her crib with her adorable cousins, one of William's parents' reactions to seeing Kate for the first time, and one of beautiful Kate!

Christmas!



Merry Christmas!
We had a wonderful Christmas day spent with family.  It was amazing to have our first Christmas with Kate!  And Kristen had her second baby this year, so we had 3 little girls to celebrate with!  Christmas is such a special holiday - and to spend it with loved ones makes it that much better.
Also this week Jamie's family from California arrived for a visit.  We've had lots of fun playing games, watching movies, and EATING!  What a great excuse to eat a little more than we should! :)
We hope all of your holidays are going great...and have a Happy New Year!
