Christmas

We had a fabulous Christmas this year!!! We spent Christmas Eve with my family...we have decided to rotate years with each family. We did the traditional fondue dinner then then a little program including a nativity acted out by the kids (so cute!) Christmas day we spent with lots of family, and we mean lots I think we counted 6 stops! It was a blast though and Hailey loved every minute of it. The partying continued the day after Christmas with the Jackson family party down in Lehi. It's always fun seeing my cousins. All and all it was a very busy but wonderful few days for the DeMill family!

All dressed up for the traditional live nativity. Hailey got to be baby Jesus this year :)

Mikey loves Hailey or as he calls her "bebe"

My parents gave me a sewing machine...hooray!!!

I love this precious girl!!!

Dave got recruited to participate in a relay where each team had to blow up balloons and stuff them into pantyhose to make antlers. I now have blackmail pictures of Jeff and Andrew in their stylish hats!

these two people right here are all I need for Christmas. I am so blessed!!!

Christmas parties

Christmas week is always full of festivities for us. We started the week off with the Annual Willowcreek dinner with the DeMills then headed straight to the Larson family party. Such a great night!!!

Willowcreek Dinner...

Hailey got to sit on Santa's lap for the first time. Apparently he bored her...

Larson Party...
Adam tried getting Hailey to play with a Furbie but she wanted nothing to do with it. I dont blame her those things are kinda freaky!

Hailey loves trying to sit up! She is getting a lot better at holding herself up.

Chio Christmas Party

The Chi Omega Christmas party is one I look forward to every year! It is so fun getting caught up with everyone . It was fun introducing Hailey to the Chio gals. Thanks to Jacqueline and Chelsea for putting it all together.

We forgot to take a group pic of everyone before they left (oops) but her are the stragglers that were still there by the end of the night. We had a great turn out this year!!!

There were so many babies born this year. It was so fun having them all meet!

Until next year...

Cousin playdate

My sister Andrea took these cute pics while she was watching Hailey for me. Hailey loves going to her house. Andrea has 4 kids that keep her very entertained. She really is a very social baby. The more people around to pay attention to her the better!

This is my favorite... Hailey doesn't seem to mind that Meg is trying to take her binki she is just happy as can be!!!

C.J. & Brooke's wedding

Saturday was my little brother's wedding. It was a perfect day! The ceremony was truly special. I cried like a baby of course. I guess it's all those post baby hormones! After the ceremony we took pictures and headed over to the Joseph Smith Memorial building for a the wedding lunch then to the reception that night at the Salt Lake Hardware building. It was such a fun day and we are so happy for C.J. and Brooke! Hailey was an absolute doll all day! She loves being around lots of people so she was in heaven.

aren't they such a cute couple?!?!

Brooke looked absolutely gorgeous... except for maybe in this pic. Love it!

We are such nerds! We just can't be serious for too long.

the traditional sisters toast


Brooke and her Mom did such a great job decorating for the reception. I especially loved the Temple gingerbread house that one of their friends bought at an auction.

My Mom made this adorable dress for Hailey and for the other little girls too. She is amazing!!!

I love this pic! Gotta love how Ellie and Kate (in front) are exchanging flowers, Meg is staring off to the side, Claire's eyes are closed and Hailey is smiling at the lights above...classic!

The Miller fam

cute Meg is very fascinated by Hailey. It is so cute!

It's exhausting being so cute!!!
