Holiday Time!!!

Christmas has come and gone, and what a Christmas it was. We braved the airports with a 7 week old and it wasn't nearly as bad as I imagined. Kaley received multiple comments on multiple flights about how she was the best baby ever. Kaley napped most of the way and in between naps she enjoyed people watching on the plane.
Virgina was great with the Mazurek's. There was a constant battle to determine who was next in line to hold our precious little one. Granny and Aunt Bethany won out most of the time. Kaley got even more clothes for Christmas along with some books and "Baby's First Christmas" ornaments.
Kaley celebrated Christmas number 2 in Texas on Sunday with the Vasel's where she got to meet one set of great grandparents.
All in all everybody enjoyed themselves tremendously. Here are some pictures from Kaley's first Christmas.

Just wanted to post a few more pics.

Kaley loves her puppy!

We also had some family photos taken by John's dad. We are so thankful to him for taking them!!

One Month

Well I am sorry that I did not post after Thanksgiving. John and I did not take any pictures with our camera so I am waiting to get the ones that Grandpa Vasel took.

Thanksgiving was great! My parents came into town as well as Lee and we had Thanksgiving dinner over at John's parents. It was very nice to have almost everyone in one place although we missed Uncle Richard, Uncle Brett and Aunt Bethany. Kaley got her first encounter with snow at Thanksgiving. Can you believe it snowed here? Yet today it was 80 degrees.

Kaley turned 1 month old yesterday along with Bayla turning 1 year old and Pop (Grandpa Mazurek) turning...we won't say. I cannot believe it has already been a month. It has definitely been the best month of our lives. She is such a joy and we could not be happier. Especially now that she has been sleeping between 6-7 hours at a time at night! YAY. We were waiting for some more sleep and we are finally getting it. It is nice to be able to sleep in longer chunks of time. She is staying awake longer each day which is fun for mommy since I am at home with her. We have fun during the day with tummy time and just mommy Kaley time. Daddy is missing her a lot when he is at work and I try to let them have father daughter time as soon as he gets home from work. I am not looking forward to returning to work. Don't get me wrong I love my job and miss the kids (well some of them) but I am just no where near ready to leave Kaley. I know I still have 7 more weeks but it just goes by so fast! Luckily I am not having to put her in daycare.

Anyways, life is great here at the Vasel house. We are enjoying every minute of life with our little one. We feel very blessed for everything we have been given. We are really looking forward to our upcoming trip to Virginia to see Uncle Brett and Aunt Bethany and mommy and Kaley's trip to Houston where we will finally get to see baby Michael, Dana and Mike! We cannot wait.

Can we say deer in the headlights?

Daddy did you pinch her?

Recovering from daddy pinching me.

Daddy and his girl!
