Christmas! and Snow! and Cousins!

I'm finally blogging Christmas and some other events in December. We had such a great time with both of our families and so much fun with Franny and her love of cousins and parties. Here are some highlights...

It really snowed a week or two before Christmas. It was Franny's first time playing in the snow.

She was in awe of everything about it
Paul's multi-tasking because Fran wanted a ride in the stroller
Time to go in. So sad.

Horsey and Doll for Christmas

You will love the stroller Mommy bought for you!

Paul had to steal my thunder and get Franny a present that was way more fun then a Doll and stroller

Shepard and a wise man

And here they were last Christmas

Any of my friends and family know that Franny was sick from the middle of November through the first of January. It was sad, but I thought I'd capture the moments so I could appreciate the healthy times.
Like her sicky bed-head?

She had a fever over Christmas which gave her welts all over her body. It was so sad. I actually took this picture to show her doctor.

Now, some happy footage...Many of you know that Paul and I took a "Baby Sign Language" class when Franny was 6 months old. She did her first sign at 9 months. We have loved the communication we have been able to have with her and we love that she can "tell" us things that she is thinking. I won't blame you if you don't want to watch all three of these videos, but I was so excited to finally get footage of her signing. For those of you who are avid signers like me, you'll see that she has modified some of the signs to her liking.
