Mr. + Mrs. = Little Miss

We've finally welcomed a new addition to our little family! Josie Diane finally arrived December 26, 2012 at 7:46 pm after 25 hours of labor...makes for one long day let me tell ya! I was due the 19th of December, so they induced me at 41 weeks. As my family would put it, I was a first calf heifer and late calver! She just didn't want to come out...Justin says it was because she was just taking her sweet time doing her hair and makeup just like her mom! Oh please! :) Pregnancy was fun while it lasted, but I was more than ready for her to finally out of me! Plus I was very anxious to finally get to meet my Josie girl! She was definitely worth every minute of the wait. She weighed in at 7lbs. 11 oz. and was 20 inches long. She has her daddy's long feet and her mama's nose, and if she isn't the cutest thing ever created then I don't know what is! She literally gets cuter by the minute! She's such a calm baby girl, at least she has been so far...hopefully she keeps it up! We have thoroughly enjoyed her sweet spirit in our home and are so grateful she arrived safe and healthy! She's such a joy to have around, and she makes each day just a little brighter! She's just our little Miss, and we just love her so much! We have truly been blessed!! Welcome to the family little Miss Josie! :)

Tis the Season

Merry Christmas! Justin and I had a fabulous holiday season! We enjoyed decorating the Christmas tree and the house for the holidays, spending time with family, attending Christmas parties, eating way too many yummy treats, and patiently awaiting the arrival of our little bun in the oven! We thought we'd definitely have a baby for Christmas, but apparently she had something a little different in mind as I spent Christmas gaining a greater appreciation and getting a very real feel for how Mary felt on Christmas so many years ago...very, very pregnant! It was alright though; I won't complain! 

December 20, 2012 - Happy 1 year Anniversary!!

 

We also celebrated our first anniversary! Woohoo! :) It's been an amazing year! I'm so grateful to be married to the best man in the world! My Mr. is truly the best, and I couldn't have asked for anything better than to be married to my best friend! So grateful we have eternity together! :)

 Christmas Eve PJ's!

 

Even though it was just Justin and I at home for Christmas, it was still a magical morning, and the magic carried through the day! Santa found us without any trouble, and quite frankly spoiled us rotten! Justin loved his Wii and new electric razor, among other things, and I was completely elated and overjoyed with skinny girl clothes (yay!!) and new jewelry! 

 Here comes Santa Claus!

We're so excited to start holiday traditions of our own with our own little family, and this year was a great start! We both love the holidays and are grateful for the opportunity it gives us to reflect on the life of Christ and all that he has done for each of us. It truly is the most wonderful time of the year!
