Family Love part 3 (Anna's Blessing)

A few days after Christmas we had some of our AZ family come to visit us and to share in the joy of our new baby girl addition.  We shared a lot of fun moments and enjoying the ones that we love!

Here are some of the highlights of their visit

Aunt Julie and Connor were there first to venture out
This was our first snow fall of the season so what did they do?
played in it of course, and..
built a snowman!
Then it was time to dry out and warm up by the cozy fire

then off to the hot tub to round off the night

Day two of fun included relaxing some, by 
sharing time with Grandpa

and feeding the precious baby Anna

We then ventured out to see Crystal Bridges Museum
The new high end art museum here.

They even have a fun kids area 
 We were treated to a show

We rounded off the night with a very nice dinner at a great local place 
with which we all throughly enjoyed


  
Day four was the main event,
Anna's blessing 
 We are so grateful to our good friend Carley who graciously made her beautiful dress

 Some last pictures of the Grandparents before their journey back 
to the warm AZ sun enjoying
holding 
 And admiring 
 our sweet little princess

Family love
 
We were so blessed and thankful to have some of our family share in this
wonderful season of our life


Aunt Julie got a few extra days of baby cuddle time
 For which they both loved 

New's Years Eve night was our family's yearly predictions, this year however
was our first year doing it via Skype.
 It was a lot of fun to actually see everyone!


The December month will always be a special one, but this year was truly a wonderful blessed one!
