Lotsa love and Kisses

Hannah loved spending time with her Grandma over Christmas. I just love how these pics really caught the moment!

I'm not sure if she is waving "hello" or playing "so big" but it's still just so cute!

And..some love for her momma too...

Hannah's kisses are a big wide mouth with her tounge sticking out...gotta love it!!

my baby and I...

Rasberries with Uncle Tim

Uncle Tim always finds a way to play with me and get me excited. I had so much fun blowing raspberries with him!!

Roth family Christmas

We arrived at my parents house just in time for Christmas dinner. It was so great to work it out to be with both families ON Christmas day this year. Mom made a delicous ham dinner with cheesy potatoes, rice, corn, and rolls. After dinner we enjoyed opening presents. It was Hannah's bedtime...so she opened her presents later.

Uncle Jeremy was so excited to hold his little niece!

Everyone helped Hannah open the present that they gave her. Hannah got rubber duckies from Jeremy (a mommy and her babies)....she absolutely loves them!

Fun books from Grandpa & Grandma.

Gears from Aunt Beth and Uncle Adam

Great lego blocks from Grandpa & Grandma~ she loved putting them in and out of the container

On Saturday night we all went to the Barn restaurant in Wooster for dinner. Seth and I celebrated our engagement with our parents here...so it will always be a special place for us. Here are some pics of Hannah enjoying her first dinner at the barn. Hannah had vegtable soup & blueberry bread and loved it!

We missed being in our own church on Sunday...but always like the chance to visit other chruches when we are on vacation. Seth, Hannah and I went to Parkside church in the morning. We really enjoyed the service and were challenged to read through the New Testament in this new year.

Christmas morning at Gran & Pa's

Christmas morning we went over to Gran and Pa's for breakfast, we opened gifts, and pretty soon after that headed to North East Ohio to have Christmas with Grandpa and Grandma Roth.

Playing with my crazy Uncle Dave...he sure knows how to make me laugh!

Merry Christmas Grandma & Papa

Uncle Adam's getting married

Over Thanksgiving weekend, Uncle Adam asked Aunt Jill to be his wife. We are really excited that she is joining the family...and I'm so excited to have another aunt! They couldn't stay for Christmas morning...so we paid a visit to Gran and Pa early. Gran and Pa have some neat traditions....one of them is the gifts that each couple recieves the first Christmas that they are engaged:

Gran made Jill a bear made out of a pair of Adam's old Kacki pants. Mommy and Auntie Erica got one just like it made from Daddy and Uncle Cody's Jeans.

A new tradition: Aunt Jill brought the best egg nog recipe, at least that's what I hear, maybe next year I'll get to try it :o)

Now...there are 4 Finnegan girls! :o)

Finnegan Family Christmas

Our visit was with Grandma and Papa Finnegan. Of course...I got to see Uncle Cody & Aunt Erica and Uncle Adam & Aunt Jill too! We had our family Christmas on Tuesday. Here are some highlights:

Grandma bought a Little People Nativity for me to play with at her house. I loved putting the people and animals in and out of the stable.

our little family Christmas

Well...we still all feel like we are in a whirlwind....so I guess that's why it's been a while since I've written...but here are some short updates on Hannah's first Christmas:

Since we were gone for the week of Christmas...we had our own little family Christmas on the Sunday before. We had so much fun watching Hannah open her gifts. She had fun ripping the paper and playing with each one.
