Cancun the day after Christmas!

Courtland's summer sales job sends you on a free trip if you reach so many sales and he got the free trip.  The day after Christmas we went to Cancun for 4 days, 3 nights all inclusive for FREE!  We had so much fun but weren't able to take Mckell so it was pretty hard to leave her for the first time.  I had to save up milk pretty much ever since she was born to have enough for her while I was gone and I had to pump every 3-4 hours in Mexico which was pretty annoying.  But all in all we had a great time and when day 4 hit I was definitely ready to go home and see my baby!

Skiing at Snow Basin with the Rabe's

My whole family went skiing up at Snow Basin.  It was so much fun- we should make it a tradition every year!  My mom and grandma Critchlow were so sweet to stay in the lodge all day with the babies so we were able to enjoy skiing.  Thanks mom and dad for taking us all!

Merry Christmas!

Mckell in her Christmas outfit- so cute!

Christmas Eve traditions at the Rabe's!

Every year we open pajamas on Christmas Eve with my family- this year was so much fun because EVERYONE was able to come and was in town!  I have the best family- and we are growing in numbers!  In less than two years we've added two spouses and three grandkids!

Just the girls

All the grandkids!  Sophia & Graham, Mckell, Nolan & Luke

We also draw names every year so we exchanged those presents and opened our presents from my parents- they always spoil us rotten!  Thanks Mom and Dad!  We love and appreciate you!

Our present from Jake and Jill

Oh so cute...

Probably the cutest thing ever- daddy and Mckell taking a nap

Mckell's first Santa Clause encounter- She got to sit on Santa's lap at the Wilson's family Christmas party (Courtland's mom's side).  They hire a Santa to come every year and he pulls presents out of his sack for each of the kids- such a fun tradition!

Mckell's Blessing...finally

We finally were able to bless Mckell on December 20.  It was really last minute because our Cancun Trip dates were changed over and over but it turned out pretty well.  Courtland did an amazing job- I'm so blessed to have a worthy husband to bless our baby!

so much love for our baby girl

The dress Mckell wore and her entire outfit was pretty special.  The dress was my mom's blessing dress that I also wore.  The booties were sewn by Mckell's gr. gr. gr. grandma and were worn by my mom and me.  And I made the bow on her head.  Thanks everyone for making it such a special day!
