More Christmas...

My mom got Bailey and Kaylee matching dresses for Christmas, and they wore them to church on Sunday. They looked so cute. We put Kaylee in Bailey's arms to see what she would do. She sat there happily holding her for a while.

Then she was over it. Good thing we were close by.

Meagan, John, and Kaylee could only stay for a few days. We were sad to see them go.

Kaylee was especially sad to say goodbye to me.

It was fun to just hang with the fam for the rest of the week. Zach spent a lot of time on the new cell phone he got for Christmas.

Bailey enjoyed developing her musical talents.

Bailey also loved playing with our dog, Cloe. She even started saying, "dog," and, "hi, dog," while we were there. Cloe didn't really appreciate the attention though. Bailey would spend so much time chasing Cloe around the house. As soon as she would catch up to her, Cloe would get as far away from her as possible.

We all got to go watch one of my brother's varsity basketball games. He was the high scorer with 14 points. It was fun to watch him. Go, Zach!

Bailey was asleep at home. It was weird not to have her with us.

Mom got some grandma-time with Lincoln.

Later that week, we went to Dairy Queen with my Grandma Miller. She treated us all to Fudge Brownie Temptations. Yeah, they were good.

Eric used Bailey as an excuse to go play with the Lego's.

Then, sadly, the day came when Beth, Eric, and Lincoln had to leave. They left really early in the morning, so we had to say goodbye the night before.

One of my good friends, Sonja, came over so we could meet her new son, Camden.


My family got Guitar Hero World Tour for Christmas, and we spent a lot of time playing it. It's addictive and so much fun.

In case you were wondering, I totally rocked the drums. Lauren and I were awesome together. We could totally start a band. We passed a couple of songs on the hard level and were proud of it.

A little Mario Kart action.

The night before we left, my parents took us out to eat at the Essenhaus. It's this amazing Amish restaurant. We love going there.

Once again, Bailey was at home sleeping.

The next day, it was time to go back home. Bailey was sad to say goodbye.

Really sad. Maybe it had something to do with being lifted into the air by her grandma who has an evil grin on her face.

We were sad to leave, but so grateful that we were able to spend so much time with family. Once we got home, Bailey had fun playing with her Baby's First Christmas teddy bear...

...(she was a little suspicious of it though)...

...wearing her cute Smart Cookie onesie that all the grandkids got for Christmas...

...playing with her stroller...

...and her music table....

And she even had a Christmas package waiting for her from her Grandma and Grandpa Lewis. Her Grandma Lewis made her a beautiful quilt and got her two books that are some of Bailey's favorites now.

Bailey had a great first Christmas!
