Blogging Molly: January 2013

Molly's first Christmas was a success for sure! We had such a wonderful couple of days with family and friends.

Our first Christmas celebration was on the 23rd at my dad's house - we watched the Bronco's game and then enjoyed pizza and presents. Molly is a big Bronco fan for sure, and as you can tell from the pictures, Ben is a big Molly fan. I love these pictures of her with her dad.

Emerson helped open gifts

I love these next pictures of her with Emerson so much! Emerson is so sweet and gentle and loving with Molly.

We then stayed at my mom's house that night. Grandma Jodi is always willing to feed Molly her bottles. I absolutely love these next pictures of my mom feeding her and reading to her before bed by the Christmas tree. I can also totally remember that Santa book from when I was a kid.

Ben making Green Chili for Christmas Eve the next day

On Christmas Eve, Ben had to work a half day of clinic that morning. Phil and Heather came over to visit. Molly loves them!!

Not a very convincing Grinch face, sweet girl!

On the evening of Christmas Eve, we went to Pueblo to visit Rita and Nick. We had a huge mexican feast with Nick's family. It was a really great night. As you can see, Molly loves Grandma Rita!!

She was just starting to sit up on her own - she looks so big in these pictures

Sticking out our tongues together

She loves Nick!

Molly loved her Clarice doll from Grandma Fran

We came back to my mom's house on Christmas Eve and Ben put together her hair chair - Ed was very helpful in assisting. It was very commical watching them go through the instruction manual after a beer or two. Ben gave me such a hard time for insisting that we travel with this huge old high chair, but I couldn't make myself not have it set up on Christmas morning with a big bow. (I suppose it was more for me than her! :))
