Life O' Michelle: Christmas!

Wow, the whirlwind of the holidays has just left us sitting in our house which is now a disaster area thinking of all the great memories that were made this holiday season and the past year. In true Jared and Michelle fashion we forgot our camera just about the entire holiday season wherever we went. Luckily my sister takes a lot of pictures so we were able to capture some of the moments! We had a whopping 6 days in a row of Christmas Celebrations - and loved every minute of it. I guess the nice thing about it that I love is that no where we go we don't have to get all dressed up and act all formal - it's all family, it's all comfortable and just a plain ol good time.

This was Tenley's first Christmas as you know and she had a great time. She very much enjoyed seeing all the people every day and getting passed around and ooo'd and ahhhhh'd at constantly - she loves the spotlight. This has is downfall now because today when Jared and I left her to play by herself which she usually does just fine, she keeps calling out "why is no one watching me!" so it will be a trying couple of days, but I'm sure she will get the jist that it's back to the old ways.

Tenley is getting more teeth which also makes whining more common then usual. Tenley now loves to stand up while hanging onto a chair or toy or whatever you put her hands on. AND drumroll please.....SHE FINALLY ROLLED OVER! (from her back to front - front to back she has been doing) It was a Christmas miracle! haha. She has only done it a few times, but at least she knows she can now. She is eating like a champ still and very smiley and interactive. She loves when people sing, bouncing on our legs, and "THE CLAW" coming at her to attack her. She also loves talking and making weird sounds with her mouth that she likes people to make back to her.

Jared got a bunch of Tri stuff for Christmas and I got a little of everything. Overall it was great to have Jared home from work for so long and hang out with the fam.
