A Blessed Christmas...

So we had such a blast over the Christmas break and it was so nice to see most of our family and friends. Although she's only 6 months old, Skylar sure was spoiled! Never too young to spoil 'em right?!

Okay, so Christmas Eve we had Matthew's family over to do lunch, dessert and of course PRESENTS!! I decided to make his family's recipe of chicken pot pie. It tasted great but looked a little rough. I accidentally used the wrong type of crust. But thankfully, my sister n law also made one which was tasty and pretty!! I also made an apple pie which was gorgeous and scrumptious! Everyone gobbled it down which was such a compliment. All the girls got to open their gifts and since Skylar received so many, I'll just highlight a couple.

Her Mimi Melissa and Paw Paw Jack bought her this vtech dancing tower. It's so cool!! I think I'm having more fun with it then she is at the moment. lol. She also got a stuffed puppy and some zoo animals.

Christmas morning we woke up early and found that Santa came!! I put Skylar in front of her gifts and she seemed a bit overwhelmed. Well, that and she kept eating the bows. She would get so excited at times and then fussy right after. She didn't know what to think of everything!! Once again, she got a lot of goodies from mommy and daddy.

I was quite spoiled as well! Matthew bought me a new calphalon cookware set. I am really starting to cook now and enjoying it so much. Before, I think I approached it as a chore but now, it's really a break from the cleaning, paying bills and changing dirty diapers all day. It's "mommy time." I also got a brand new camera! wooohooo! I've been wanting one for so long now and finally, Matt bought me a Nikon D60. I'm still trying to figure out how the whole thing works but I'll get it...

After we did Christmas at our house, then we went to my parents house...Mimi and Papa Hart. There Skylar got more toys of course and a really awesome car seat...whoo hooo! It's a Britax and the style is Mariposa! I can't wait to get her in it....so exciting.Skylar was napping most of the day, so Matthew and I opened her presents from my parents. My mom slid over this big box which has been wrapped for a while now and we tried our hardest to make our guesses. I guessed a toy box and Matt guessed a doll house. You know who won?!! Neither!!! It was a new Dell computer! My sneaky parents!! If you haven't noticed, I haven't been staying on top of my blogs as usual and that's because my old computer (which is a laptop), Matt had to start taking to work with him. But NOW....I have my own desktop!! Spoiled huh?!

Oh...and a couple more things...

Skylar got her first tooth Christmas day. After all the tears, slobber and upset tummy...we finally have a pearly. Temporary relief until the next bout!

AND THE BIGGEST AND GREATEST NEWS OF ALL!!!!!!

My dad and I went to Texas Childrens last Tuesday for her ultrasound and the doctor informed us that it appears she has NO MORE HYDRONEPHROSIS!! Can you believe it?!!! God is so awesome! The doctor asked that we bring her back in 6 months just to make sure everything still looks the same! Praise God for answered prayers!!
