D's First Christmas..

(i've been on a posting marathon.. 3 posts in 1 day! i didn't wanted to miss documenting anything!)

..and the best Christmas we've ever had because of D.

This little girl is the greatest thing in the world. 
sick of hearing me say that? 
you better stop reading my blog then.. because this obsession seems to be getting worse.. not better
(we are debating changing her name on her birth certificate from London to D.. because that is all she is ever called.)
..okay maybe not.. but she may never know her name really is london 

first family christmas morning picture

i got a little carried away with pictures of her.. 
and i couldn't decide which ones to share and not share.. 
so here's a load of them for you.
(prepare to grit you're teeth until you get a migraine)


grandma shared her apple with d... and yes, i had to go fishing out the chunks so she didn't choke. but she was lovin it.





i know a lot of these are a lot the same.. 
but i couldn't deprive you of even one.








another picture of christmas morning.. 


Christmas is always the very best time of year
it's always a perfect reminder of the incredible blessings we enjoy because of our Savior's birth, life, and ultimate sacrifice.
My heart truly could burst into a million pieces because of the gratitude and love I have for my Heavenly Father and Savior, 
and for entrusting jeremy and i with this perfect person 
and for allowing me to be the imperfect person i am everyday and have the opportunity and blessing to repent, to be forgiven, and become stronger through Jesus Christ's atonement.

So grateful. SO blessed.

Merry Christmas and Happy New Year to all my friends.
Our life is full of love and joy because of those we are constantly surrounded by and because of the amazing examples we have to pattern our lives after.

Kate... she is SO sweet. I love her cute little face and those blue eyes. I miss having a baby girl... but my baby boy is cute... And, we used to say the same thing about Kenley... when she was little, we rarely called her Kenley. She was (and still is) Kenners, Keke, Keeks, K, Leeka, Susie... you name it, we've called her it. Except Kenley. We don't call her Kenley often. :)

Your Christams looks so fun! I love how close you guys are & I love the fact that your parents have SIXTEEN grandkids & still take time to love the new ones just as much as the first ones. Your baby girl is so cute with her big blue eyes. Have so much fun in Disneyland! That will be a ball to do with the fam!
