Karina's First Christmas!

Karina had a very exciting week! She went to her first Gymboree class, opened her first Christmas presents, had a white Christmas and (drumroll please...) slept 8+ hours through the night (5x in a row!!). We are going to enjoy this as long as it lasts!


Here is our house in the snow on Christmas Day!! Karina was warm and asleep inside, so we decided not to torture her so we could enjoy seeing her in the snow :)


A very happy Karina on Christmas Eve.


A wonderful present under our tree :)


Karina and Dad opening a present.


She loves to kick her legs when she is happy...maybe a future soccer star or Rockette?


Our first Christmas together as a family.


Before Christmas, Karina went to Gymboree. This is Karina after Gymboree. Five hours later...this is still Karina after Gymboree :)


This is Karina 10 hours after Gymboree...ready to go again! Except that it was 11pm and time to go to bed...


Karina and Mamma gearing up for bathtime!


Here is Karina, excited to get in the bathtub!


Kicking Christmas Karina...

The paparazzi catch Karina smiling...

Karina's smiles have finally been caught on film! She had an eventful week. She is now 2 months old! Her 2 month check up went smoothly, except for some screaming when she got her shots and when we started decorating for Christmas...


She didn't like her stocking very much...Although Tim seemed to enjoy it :)


...but was all smiles for the camera when the stocking came off.


Karina loves to sit in her swing...


...and play with Daddy's glasses.


Here she is smiling in her beautiful outfit from Linda and Peter.



She just can't stop smiling now!


Karina smiling and laughing...

Karina and her many hats...

Karina has hit the 10lb mark! She has been giving us lots of smiles and even laughed yesterday! (unfortunately this has not yet been captured on film, but stay tuned!)


Karina sleeping in her knit hat from Ya Ya.


Hanging out in her Winnie the Pooh hat...


Almost a smile in her pink hat...


Is a hoodie a hat?


Karina in her favorite hat :)


Lounging on her changing table in her white hat (and cute bowling shoes!)


Why do people keep calling Karina "him" ?


No hat, but a cute picture of Karina and Alice in their matching outfits!


Getting into the holiday spirit early. Karina posed for her first photo with Santa and he had a South African accent!
