Funny picture!

It cracks me up that Lily's ear will do this sometimes after she has been sleeping on it! I had to capture it before it stops happening!

Lily's Blessing

Sunday we had the great opportunity of having Lily blessed. I was pretty emotional during her blessing because I just felt so grateful for Lily and the happiness she has brought to Mark and I. I feel so blessed to be her Mom and have her as my daughter. It was great because we had so much family at the blessing- Katie, Becca, Dakota, all my siblings and their families, my parents, Mark's Dad, Mark's brother and his family and their kids, plus my good friend Shauna and her husband Bryan, and their kids. Lily looked beautiful in her dress.

Miss Lily!

Notice the wrinkly forehead!
Now that is a head of hair!
Happy after her bath!
Not so sure about her tutu

Pictures from Lily's Photo Shoot

At my shower I received a certificate for a newborn photo shoot from my in-laws. Lily had a difficult time the first day--- she didn't like being naked--- but we still got some really cute pictures. Plus, we went back for a second day in her Christmas dress. Here are some of my favorites.

Notice how big her tights are on her-- it cracks me up! Sadly she has about outgrown her Christmas dress now!
What a sweet baby girl!

This one was taken when she was not very happy. She would lose it when we took the pacifer out of her mouth!

A Great Thanksgiving

We had a great Thanksgiving. We had all the kids with us, which was a lot of fun. Lily got to meet her brothers and spend time with them. They were all so cute with her. I was pretty proud of myself for cooking Thankgiving dinner less than a month after having a baby! Here is Lily at 4 weeks. I can't believe how fast time is flying!

Lily chilling with Mitchell-- somehow we didn't get a picture of them together, which is funny since he held her all the time!
