Caroline's Baptism

Caroline and her Godfather, Uncle Blake, on her Baptism Day 1.12.13

 

Before the ceremony, "I'm ready for this!" - Caroline

 

 Good thing we took some pictures before the ceremony because after the ceremony, lets just say she was a liiiitle fussy!
 

 

 Sign of the cross with Holy oil.
 

 

"Peter said to them, Repent and be baptized, every one of you, in the name of Jesus Christ for the forgiveness of your sins; and you will receive the gift of the Holy Spirit."
 

  Each daughter with their Godparent! Aunt Christy with Hallie, Aunt Steph with Annabelle and Uncle Blake with Caroline. :)
 

 

Smiling Baby!

Caroline has graced us with many smiles in the past couple days! Just talk baby talk to her in a high pitched voice and the smiles abound! In other news, she is going through a growth spurt (which is typical at 6 weeks) and wants to eat every 2 hours, yikes!

Comparing Sisters

I don't know why I have this facination with comparing the three girls but if you are interested too, you'll like this post!

 

 

Each girl at one month. Caroline on top, Annabelle bottom left and Hallie bottom right :)

Caroline One Month

We love you sweet Caroline, happy one month! We are looking forward to seeing you grow, you have blessed us so much already :)

Conroe Christmas

After a great Christmas in Dallas, we headed straight to Conroe late Christmas Day in the freezing cold and arrived with fresh snow on windshield!

 

Here are some shots from our second "Christmas Morning" :)

 

The girls had been wanting piggy banks for their new room. (Later they also got cute cross banks from Aunt Cat where they can save up money to donate each week at church) So let the saving begin!

Helping Gramps open his gift, a new picture frame for work!

 

Now Grandma's turn, a new grandmother's bracelet with the girls initials! (We left plenty of space for cousins, whenever you are ready Aunt Christ and Uncle Ian, wink ;))



 

Of course, Caroline got passed around, got to spoil them while you can :)

 

Caroline is getting big and establishing her own look :) 

 

White Christmas

After the dissapointment of having to skip Christmas in Alexandria, we were super excited to pack up and head to Dallas the night before Christmas Eve. We got to have a quick visit with our friend Eleanor who gave us these super cute matching PJs for Christmas morning!

 

 

The Night Before Christmas

Grana and Granddad took the girls to Bass Pro for a ride on the reindeer carousel!

 

 

We didn't just dream of a white Christmas, we got it! The girls are all bundled up and ready to play. Annabelle lasted longer than Hallie because of Hallie's lingering fever but they were both so excited to see snow :)
