Giulietta's First Christmas

On Christmas morning everyone came to our house to 

eat breakfast and open gifts. Then, Giulietta and I headed

over to Grandma Morad's while Ryan headed off to work. 

Giulietta received many fun and practical gifts, and 

she also got to visit with many of her loved ones! 

As you can see, Grandpa Hardy had a lot of fun playing

with Giulietta and the wrapping paper, Ryan quickly began

 assembling his Lego VW bug and trying on his new jacket, 

Uncle Nick and Aunt Laura made Baby G smile a million times, 

and everyone unwrapped gifts, and took turns holding

 the little darling! 

First Visit With Santa

On Christmas Eve, Giulietta met Santa for the first time at

Knott's Merry (Berry) Farm. This year, no tears were shed in

the process, just a little bit of spit up!

Christmas Pictures from Sears

Here are our Christmas pictures taken at Sears! It's a very long

story as to why we have some from JCP and some from Sear's. Yes, 

we did torture our first born by taking her to both locations! Don't

ask for details, just Enjoy! :)

Recipe

Ryan, Mom and I were baking cookies for the holidays using 

Mom's ancient recipe book, and Giulietta was helping me 

read it! 

Visit at Aunt Bonnie's

This past Saturday we visited with my Cousin Manda

 & her son Aiden at Aunt Bonnie's house. Aiden is only 

6 weeks older then Giulietta. Aren't they so cute?

SAY CHEESE

This is one of Giulietta's many smiles! 

Toys

We have been putting Giulietta in this toy stander since

her neck and legs are getting so strong. She only takes about

10 minutes at a time, but she really loves spinning the wheel

with all the balls in it and looking around the room!
