Christmas #1

Last week we went to Mississppi (where Spencer's sister and her husband live) to have Christmas with the Essenpreises. I think we have a total of 6 Christmases where we will exchange gifts this year.


Naomi did well with the 7 hour trip, but she has been teething as you can see in this picture and so she hasn't been sleeping very well lately. That unfortunately makes for a very tired mommy and daddy.

She has rolled over from her tummy to her back a couple times lately, but we can't seem to get it on video. She really likes being on her tummy though and will push up really high.

The Essenpreis tradition is to make sugar cookies and decorate them. And not just decorate with some sprinkles....we had all kinds of icing and fancy sprinkles and marshmallow and chocolate chips. I'm not the most creative or artistic person, but we had a lot of fun (especially since we were decorating them at about 11pm). Derek and I were in competition for the 'worst' decorated cookie.

Here are a few of our cookies...Merry Christmas #1
