Christmas as a Miller

We had a great Christmas this year (as we always do), but this one was extra special because we got to celebrate it with Brooklyn. We surprisingly didn't have any family Christmas parties on either side of our families this year, but Christmas Eve Eve, Christmas Eve, and Christmas Day were filled with fun activities, parties, family, and food!

We made gingerbread houses...

Visited Cousin's...

Met new cousin's for the first time...

I didn't get any pictures of Christmas Eve, but every year we go to Brett's parents for dinner and a game of Chicken Foot. This year we also threw in a game of "Curses", which was hilarious to play with his 83 year old grandma. Also, Brett's sister and her family flew in from California to celebrate Christmas in Utah. This is a picture of Brooklyn meeting her cousin Ava for the first time. They are only 4 months apart so we are so excited to get them together to play when they get a little older.

Visited more cousins...

There were 5 of us who had babies from May to October in Brett's family. Don't ask me what I was doing with Brooklyn's poor little head. I guess I thought "all the other babies can hold their head up, why cant she?" haha

Spent time with Papa Young...

...and with family!

It doesn't get any better than that!

What a Beautiful World We Live In

My mom sent me this video and I absolutely love it! Everything that God created in this world is amazing to me and I know that he did it so that we would have something to enjoy and inspire us. Life gets so busy sometimes and I know I forget to look at where I live and how beautiful it is. Brett and I were driving the other day and I couldn't help but notice how beautiful the snow covered mountains were with the light of the sunset reflecting off of them. I'm grateful that my Heavenly Father created such a beautiful world for me. Enjoy!

Brett's Trips

In November Brett got invited to go pheasant hunting in South Dakota with some friends. Pheasant hunting is one of his favorite hobbies so he was excited he got to go and take our dog Koda.

Then, the first part of December he flew to Alabama for a convention with a friend he knows through landscaping. They got to stay at a really nice resort where they got to golf after the classes. Unfortunately they had to golf in the pouring rain, but the trip was all paid for so you can't beat that!

Can't Get Enough Pictures

It's amazing how much Brooklyn grows EVERYDAY! When we first brought her home she didn't fit into any of her clothes because she was so small so I went and bought her some preemie pj's and she only got to wear them once or twice before she grew out them in about a weeks time. Were not complaining though! We are so glad that she is growing!

Here are some more pictures...

She loves to hold her head up and look around, sometimes it gets to heavy and it will flop right back down. She can also turn her head from side to side while laying on her tummy.

It is so fun to see her awake and look into her big beautiful eyes! She doesn't open them very often right now, so when she does it's always a treat!

She loves loves getting her hair washed! She prefers it under the faucet rather than in the bath!

We love the cute crochet'd hats Great Grandma Linda made, perfect for winter!
