Lucy

On January 1st Drew became an uncle and I became an aunt for the first time and Mac got his first cousin! Lucy is adorable.
I'm holding Mac's arms down in this picture. Hopefully the next time we see Lucy, Mac won't want to poke her or give her love taps as much.

Utah

Our trip to Utah went by so fast. It's hard to believe we were there for almost three and half weeks. From running back and forth between both family's homes, staying the weekend up in Midway and throwing in all the holiday parties; the vacation was packed with fun. We have the greatest family and can't wait to see them again in a few months! Reading a book with Grandma Millar
Aunt Annie
It was fun seeing my old friend Sammy and her little boy Jack. Mac is five months older than Jack and looks like a giant next to him. The whole time I was trying to save Jack from Mac's hits and bites. Mac is becoming one feisty boy.

A note for me: Mac changed so much this trip. Before we got to Utah, Mac barely started walking and then a couple days into the trip he took off.

He rarely crawls now. He's talking more and communicating in different ways, signing and pointing.

At first Mac was a little stand offish to all the new faces, a few days into the trip he loved all the people around him. Then today at church he threw himself in every women's arms that looked at him. I think he's totally over the "Stranger Danger" stage and missing all the attention he got from the family.

Christmas Day!

Opening Presents Christmas morning in our matching pj's. A tradition in my family that never gets old. Mac loved all the books he got but most of all he loved the wrapping paper.

Amy (Drew's sister) crocheted Mac a teddy bear. Yes you read it right crocheted! She's amazing.

We spent Christmas playing the Wii and Guitar hero. Drew and his Dad rocked out to "Free bird."
