Christmas 2009

We had a great Christmas in Missouri with Mark's family. Almost all of his siblings were there so it was a full, fun house! Adriana had lots of fun playing with her aunts, uncles, and most of all... her cousins. We even got some snow while we were there which made it a wonderful white Christmas.


Adriana with her cousins


With her Uncle Thomas

Mark, Adriana and I made this sweet gingerbread house! Adriana loved to help and eat it as we went along.



I had to throw this one in of her licking the beater while we were making Christmas goodies.

Here is my 20 week belly picture. You can compare my tummy to Annie who is due 3 weeks later than me. Don't expect weekly belly shots. :) Just know that we can't quite call it a pansita anymore!



Playing with the cousins


Adriana got a new nightgown from her Grandma Hansen. She loves it and looks like little Cindy Lou-Who.

Christmas morning!
Gifts from Santa...

Unwrapping gifts and sitting in the pile of wrapping paper.


Now on to Iowa...
Mark had to go back home for work, but Sarah and Adriana were able to go up and visit the other side of the family for just a few short days before coming home. We had a great time and tried to play with the cousins as much as possible!

Adriana with more cousins on the Hansen side...



Trying on a nice furry coat!

With Grandpa Hansen. Trying on his nice hat! One of her favorite pastimes.


With Uncle David.

We took advantage of the snow and built a small snowman. She added her own hat to him made out of snow!

How wonderful you got to have a white Christmas! Adriana looks beautiful in her new pajamas. And the snowman you two made in Iowa is perfect. Adriana seemed mighty proud of her creation :)

It was fun to see your pictures. Adriana is looking so much older and her hair is really getting long. She's a cutie as always. We miss you guys!!!

very nice pics! I think Annie's belly has hit a growth spurt lately so she may be catching up compared to what was in the photo.
