Holden and his little buddy Crew

We finally got to go up and meet my new little nephew Crew. He was born nine and a half weeks early weighing in at 3 lbs. 9 oz. and 16 inches long. He was in the NICU for about four weeks or so. He got to come home right before Christmas, but since we have all had little colds we haven't been able to go see him. Crew will be 2 months old on Wednesday and is the size of a newborn. He is doing awesome and weighs over 6 pounds. Glad we finally got to meet you little buddy!

Cute little buddies!
Holden was so fascinated with Crew!

Holden was trying to figure out this little guy. I think he was fascinated

that someone was finally smaller then him.

Holden trying to get Crew. He wasn't happy that i wouldn't let him

grab him. He really wanted to figure this boy out.

*Oh yeah our little Holden is crawling. He does his own little crawl, but he is very mobile. He wants to get down and move around every where. You set him down in one spot and look away for a second then he will be across the room. I wasn't ready for him to be mobile yet since he is only seven months, but it is fun and Ella loves it. He also is getting a mouth full of teeth. He has his bottom two, and now four on top are coming in. I don't know what we are going to do with him! Love that little boy so much!

Sister and Brother Play Time

Ella and Holden love, love, love each other. Holden gets so excited everytime he sees his sister. She loves playing with him, holding him, poking him in the head, giving him hugs, and lots more. Holden loves playing with Ella, pulling her hair, laughing at her, and eating all of her toys. Now that Holden is getting bigger and mobile they have a lot of fun together. I will cherish this time because I know they will be fighting before we know it!

Being so silly together!
Some more playing going on.

Ella loves being pulled around in the laundry hamper. Holden

didn't mind it either. They had so much fun!

belt in his mouth.

to eat something.

Christmas 2010

Cute little kids!

Our attempt at getting a family picture on Christmas, but Ella

didn't want to do it of course. Oh well.

Finally a post about our Christmas. Santa was very nice to us this year, and the kids loved everything he dropped off for them. Ella wanted "everything" for Christmas this year. Any time you asked her what she wanted she would respond with, "everything." She is so funny! Ella got lots of toys, squinkies, movies, and lots of games. Holden got some new toys, treats, and lots of wrapping paper. He was in heaven! Zach and I just got a few little things since this year we got a new car!!! We sold our Subaru and bought a 2011 GMC Terrain. It is so nice to drive, not to mention all of the interior room we have. It is a great car and fits our little family perfect. We missed our family in St. George, but we are glad that we got to have a second Christmas with them over New Year's. Ella and Holden were definitely spoiled as always, and loved everything they got. Thank you everyone for everything you do for our little family. We love you!
