Christmas Day 2015


My parents' Christmas tree

My grandparents along with Uncle Kurt and Mark came to visit us on Christmas day!

Short sleeves on Christmas day? In New England? Yup it was a balmy 56 degrees Fahrenheit here. For those not used to northern temps that is pretty warm for December. 

Waiting patiently to open gifts

Awwww

Caleb doesn't like Ninja Turtles.... does he? (yes, yes he does)

More Frozen?? lol


We had a very exciting Christmas in 2015. A furball joined my world, I gained a nephew and it was so warm we had the windows open! I really enjoyed the holidays in 2015. I think the baby being on the way/arriving made the Thanksgiving to Christmas time an amazing and memorable time for my whole family. 

I hope you all had a wonderful Christmas season, and I wish you all wonderful new year! 

Love, Rebecca

I'm an Auntie!

My nephew is finally here! He was 5 days late, and arrived at 7lbs 12oz. He was born around 5pm on Christmas Eve! 

They named him Collin after my brother. 

I met him Christmas morning.

I met my baby brother for the first time when I was 4 and here I am 22 years later meeting his son.

He looks a lot like my brother did as a newborn. Less hair though!

Tiny little toes!

The beautiful Momma! Sarah had a very long labor but is recovering well. She is a trooper!

My mom meeting her grandson for the first time. 

My dad is a grandpa now!
My youngest siblings meeting their nephew. A lot of proud aunts and uncles!

Great Grandma enjoying the feeling of a tiny little baby in her arms. 

Our family is so excited to have a little baby around again.

I'm a proud Auntie!

Justin has very little experience with newborn so he was nervous about holding Baby Collin.

Justin holding his nephew

He did a great job even if he was nervous!

My mom crocheted this little "Minion" outfit for the baby.  

Molly meeting her new member of the family. 

I'm eager to visit Collin and Sarah again soon so I can hold my nephew again! 


Thankyou to everyone who has been praying for Sarah during her pregnancy. We really appreciated all of them! 

Love a brand new Auntie,

Christmas Eve

Every year on Christmas Eve my mother-in-law's side of the family has a family reunion. Not everyone was able to come this year and I was sick so it was not as awesome as previous years but it was still nice to see people who live out-of-state.

My in-law's dog Shadow is sadly really starting to show his age now and has been dealing with "Old Dog Disease" (Canine Vestibular) . He still is a big sweetie pie.  

All of Uncle Dave's kids. Two of the youngest boys were shorter than me when I first met Justin!

My mother-in-law made these amazing kebobs.

Leah and Jessica

Enjoying all the food

She wasn't a fan of the camera

Justin and his cousin Jesse playing "Exploding Kittens"

We brought Oliver along so my mother-in-law could see him. Everyone fell in love with his blue eyes! 

Love, Rebecca

Merry Christmas- My Nephew Will Be Here Soon!


I hope everyone enjoys their celebrations today and tomorrow!


My sister-in-law Sarah is currently in labor.
 We are hoping the baby arrives today! He was due the 19th but apparently he really wants to be a Christmas baby.  

 We have had Oliver for two weeks now and he is doing very well. 

Since my siblings are on Christmas break this week I got some visitors for lunch on Tuesday! 

Justin had a few friends/cousins over the other night for a mini Christmas party.   

Justin was busy baking coconut pies last night

I made some chocolate bark.  

Here's hoping my nephew arrives soon! Merry Christmas everyone! 

Love, Rebecca
