First Christmas was very eventful!

Well, we had a wonderful first Christmas with Zoey. The past few days were really busy and passed by in a blur, but here were some of the highlights (with lots of pictures, of course!)
*Everyone loved the Christmas pics that we gave them, and almost everyone asked where I had them done and thought that they were professional pictures. So, I guess my sister and I did a good job taking them :) (Thanks Shan!)

These are the two that I framed for the gifts:

And then a few more favorites from our "photo shoot":
*We hosted Christmas brunch at our house again this year and had a really great afternoon. Zoey got a ton of presents, and actually seemed pretty interested in the whole process of opening them.

Hanging out with cousins Madalynn and Cole Opening the "build a bear" that Uncle Scott and Aunt Charnell sent She got lots of books and especially loved the one with the mirror Opening the present from Mommy and Daddy It's an Exersaucer and she LOVES it!
*We decided that it's about time to start solid food, so Zoey had a tasty Christmas dinner of avocado! She didn't seem all that excited about it, but definitely was able to get the hang of eating off of a spoon. Joe bought me two baby food cookbooks, so I am really excited about trying new recipes and foods for her.

Christmas evening we went to Great Grandma and Grandpa's house, and Zoey met Santa Clause. (Shhhh...don't tell her it's really Grandpa Bruce!)

After lots of holiday fun, she was so exhausted that she passed out in the carseat before we even got her into the car
So, all in all it was a wonderful Christmas. I'm already thinking about how different next year will be. It's hard to imagine Zoey so much bigger and running around the house and playing with toys. I can't wait!
