Baby's First Christmas

Today was Morgan's first Christmas! What an exciting day it was. Santa came and brought me lots of presents!



Morgan was so excited.



We got a really good picture with Morgan with Grammy and Papa.



We then went over to Aunt Libby's house for roast beast and fun times with the family. Cousin Carter helped Mommy hand out presents.



And Morgan gave cousin Courtney this pretty scarf.



After dinner, Daddy tried some wine. Mommy said he looks like a mobster in this picture.



And Morgan and Daddy took a nap.



The most fun part of the day was when Carter got to hold Morgan for the first time, sitting in Courtney's new Hello Kitty tent.



I hope everyone had as fun of a Christmas as we did! We hope we have many more wonderful Christmases with our family.

Grammy and Papa are here!

Grammy and Papa Harmon arrived today from Michigan! Papa is staying until January 5th, but we get to keep Grammy here until the end of February! We are all so excited to have them with us.

Morgan and I drove down to San Antonio to pick Grammy and Papa up. Here they are meeting Miss Morgan for the first time!

First Babysitters!

Today was Morgan's first day with a babysitter, and actually, she had 2! While Mommy went to work, my sweet friend Resa watched the baby for us. She'll be watching Morgan Mondays, Tuesdays, and Fridays until Grammy and Papa get here on the 20th. Brad will be with her on Wednesdays and Thursdays, and of course, I'm home on the weekends.

Resa sent me this photo during the day. She sure knows me well to know I needed that sweet photo to get me through the day!



Tonight was my work holiday party. Aunt Libby came over to stay with Morgan so Brad and I could get all dressed up and go have a baby-free evening. It was so sweet of her and we had a great time. Before we left, we dressed Morgan up in her Christmas dress so we could get a nice, fancy family photo.

Mommy's First Day Back to Work

Today I went back to work. Apparently, we didn't think to take a photo before I left darn it! Instead of a photo of Morgan and me, I'll show you a photo of the great thing we did at work. Every year we adopt angels from the Salvation Army Angel Tree. This year, the LBJ Library staff adopted 40 angels! Here is my coworker's car loaded up with some of the presents, and some photos of the Salvation Army warehouse that I took when we dropped them off!

Christmas Photos

Today, we went to Aunt Libby's for a photo shoot for our Christmas cards. I go back to work tomorrow so we had to get it in while we had the chance. Here are several photos from the session.






Cousin Carter is really loving his new cousin and we got these beautiful photos of them to prove it. He hasn't wanted to hold her yet, but I think this photo is pretty darn adorable.











Mommy also taught Carter how to "Hook 'Em Horns" today! I have a feeling she'll regret this choice soon. :)

Grandparents Visit!

From December 3rd through 7th, Grandma and Grandpa Eggert came to visit. Grandma Denise got Morgan to give us a real smile for the very first time when they met at the airport. That was quite a treat! It was really nice to have Merv and Denise here for the long weekend. Unfortunately, Texas weather doesn't seem to cooperate with their visits. It was really cold all weekend, and we even got snow.

Really, we did! Can't you see it in this photo of Morgan and me?


We didn't do a lot of things out of the apartment with the weather so poor, but we had a great time staying home, adoring our baby girl, and playing Apples to Apples and Euchre. On Sunday night, we took this family photo. It's not the greatest photo ever, but hey, at least we're all together!


Morgan and I were really sad to have to take them to the airport on Monday to say goodbye!
