Walking In A Winter Wonderland

Lillian went for a VERY sort walk yesterday and experienced snow for the first time. She even licked a snowflake that landed on her lip. But mostly she stuck her tongue out and held her breath when the wind hit her face. She was pretty miserable so we quickly headed back inside.

Here she is in the front pack, bundled in daddy's coat.

A close-up, what a cutie!


Lillian and mommy all bundled up.


Another close-up with a concerned little look on her face.

And here is a view of us and all the snow we got (not a lot, but a big event in Oregon weather!)
The best part is Lillian's mommy has to go back to work this week and got an extra snow day off with her! But Lillian's daddy had to work even more since it was a snow day. At least he will get to stay home the rest of the week with her!

Let It Snow! Let It Snow! Let It Snow!

It snowed today! Lillian has been hoping for snow since we went and took pictures a few weeks ago. Here are some of our favorites of her in a winter wonderland.

Family Christmas Photos

We went to our favorite photographers again at All That Jazz Photography and had fun Christmas photos taken. Here are some of our favorites of the whole family.

Yes, the bow was goofy!

Grandmommy's Outfit

Lillian's Grandmommy Raynette made her a beautiful handmade outfit and blanket before Lillian was born. She took the blanket with her during all of her travels to work on it. The blanket when to Russia, Mexico and across the USA. We hope Lillian will enjoy traveling too!

We went over the weekend to have pictures taken of her in it and here were some of our favorites! If you want to see all of them click here

Grandpa's Birthday!

We celebrated Lillian's Grandpa's birthday over the weekend. We had lots of fun spending time with family and friends there and her Grandpa Mike got lots of time to snuggle her, the best birthday gift!!

Visiting With Family

Ryan's siblings came into town over the weekend and they were able to meet Lillian for the first time. Luckily everyone else took more pictures than we did (we stopped taking pictures after the first few minutes... something about a new baby causes us to get distracted) and we were able to "borrow" pictures from them to complete our post. We look forward to seeing all of them again during the holidays and for her to meet her cousins Skylar and Londyn.

Here is Lillian with her Aunt Nikki and Cousin Jade. Jade was so sweet
with Lillian and loved holding her. It was so nice to see them both!

Here is Jade looking down at Lillian.


Here is Lillian with her Aunt Devin.

Here is Lillian and her Uncle Kevin.


Lillian's Aunt Devin and Uncle Kevin. We were so glad to spend time with them.

Here are all the babies enjoying a book, what full laps for those Grandmas!

Here is Lillian showing off her smiling skills.


The visit ended with wild time at a tiny German restaurant. Good food, time together and LOTS of baby and kid crying and screaming to complete the ambiance.

Lillian had a little too much fun that night and finished it off with a good cry.

Ahh... and finally resting, the adorable sleeping baby picture! What else is there left to do after all that fun but rest up for future fun?!?
