Ice Skating

Cole and I went ice skating on Thursday with Brian and the youth group. Cole got her first experience with the ice and seemed to love it. Check out the link below for a video of the action as well. (P.S. You'll have to hold your head side ways to see the video...I'm a goof and I held the camera the wrong way. Sorry about that.)

Bits of Christmas Morning

Cole woke up on Christmas morning with a smile on her face and cameras flashing from every angle. She seemed to enjoy each moment of the day. She loved the bows and wrapping paper, tore into her stocking, tried on some of her new clothes and even played with her new toy drum. It was a full day of excitement.

Cole's New Friend

Cole met her new friend, Bear, on Christmas Eve. Aunt Crista introduced them and Bear has not left Cole's side since...see pictures.

Out-takes

Cole is quite the photogenic little creature, however, we managed to get a few funny pictures and we thought we would share with you a few laughs. We hope your family had a very Merry Christmas. We had a lot of fun and will share with you some of those moments this week, but for now, enjoy the funnies.

Closing the book on Christmas night...

At Cole's photo session, she closed the session just like this, so this is how we will close Christmas night...





...Merry Christmas to all. We love you.

Cole met Santa yesterday afternoon and he agreed that she had been a VERY good girl this year. She loved his beard and fur.
