I just wanted to post and wish everyone a Merry Christmas and give a few updates!
The past few weeks have kind of run together, so I haven't really had time to post anything out here. I am getting use to my sleepless nights, kind of, but would really like to have longer than 3 hours at a time. We are trying to get her use to just nursing, but it doesn't always work. I get frustrated after an hour and sometimes go get a bottle. But, today I only used a bottle twice. So, that's not too bad.
Bailey is growing like crazy, it seems. She is outgrowing her preemie clothes and is starting to fill out her newborn clothes. I have a few updated pictures that I'll post. Aaron and I were up early the other morning and I swear she laughed while she was snuggling us. It was really cute!!!!
Shelby and Gretchen are loving being out of school and playing in all the snow we've been getting over the past week. Today we have gotten about a foot of snow. I had to snow blow twice and I am afraid to drive the car anywhere because they haven't plowed our street.
We are going to make some cookies tonight and tomorrow for Santa and for a homeless shelter. One of our ward members is taking them over on Christmas eve. I'm sure the girls and I will have a great time making them and I hope they feel the Christmas spirit of service.
On a sad note, Aaron's grandpa passed away on December 15th. He had been in declining health for quite a few years, but it's always sad when they are gone. The funeral was enjoyable because we were able to learn so much about his life. It was also neat to see pictures of him when he was younger, since I hadn't known him when he was able to walk around on his own.
We are almost ready for Christmas and I'm really glad. I need to deliver a few more gifts and wrap a ton of them, but that's the fun part. We are excited to have Christmas dinner at dad's house on Wednesday night and open a few presents and have the kids perform the nativity story. That is always a highlight, and this year we have a real baby for the manger. Hee hee.
Well, I better get dinner going. Shelby will be posting next. Love to everyone and have a safe holiday!

Cute kid, guys. I'm really going to miss not being there this year. This will be the first Christmas that Hill and I have had alone. We'll try to press on through our sunny and 75deg days, though. We'll be thinking of you when we are outside enjoying the weather and waching our cars.
Chan~ anytime you need a nap, please call me! All my kids sleep through the night :0)
