Then after Tyler had finished his finals we meet up in Mesa to spend Christmas with his family. And I must admit while I do miss my white Christmas a bit, it's pretty nice to be able to go outside without the long ritual of bundling both myself and Katelyn up just to get from one place to another. We had such a great time with Tyler's family and Katelyn loved getting to meet all of her aunts, uncles and cousins and getting to see her grandparents again. They are all so great with her and think they maybe even got to see some moments of her not crying. :) We are all excited to get to spend this summer in Mesa.
I wish I had some more pictures to post but I think most of the best ones are all on other people's cameras so here are the ones that I have. :)
Since everybody was all in town for Christmas (aka we came into town :) we were able to have family pictures. Here is a good one of the Lloyd/Rapier clan. You'll notice that Katelyn is just a bundle in a blanket in the picture because by this point she had had enough of picturing taking.
Luckily, Tyler's family was nice enough to let us take our own little family pictures first while Katelyn was still being tolerant of the whole thing. Here is one that we really liked.
Our favorite ones though were some close up ones she took of Katelyn. What an adorable little girl we have been blessed with. We are so grateful to have her in our family.
We've discovered that Katelyn loves TV, especially football (she's her momma's daughter :) so she decided to hang out with Grandpa Rapier one day and watch the bowl game. :) She's also starting to get better at holding her head up and being able to sit up with some support too. So fun!
Grandma Rapier got Katelyn this adorable Christmas dress and shoes. She even wore it all day without spitting up all over it- it's a Christmas miracle. :) However, since she has lately discovered she loves sucking on her fingers I wasn't able to get a picture of her without them in her mouth. :)
