December still, but not yet Christmas

The annual family newsletter is coming out soon. For those of you who have come to check out the day-by-day account of the flooding this summer that was mentioned in it, go straight to the Flood Journal post. You are welcome to check out anything else on here as well! Enjoy!

By the way, if you don't think you are on my parent's Christmas list and you would like to receive a letter and picture, send an email to me (Erin) with your address and we'll add you to the list!  emk6@hotmail.com

Now on to the current events.

We start them young in this family

Chelsea and Rick went bowling for a Daddy-daughter date. Chelsea had a good time, but those balls are sure heavy!

This lovely pink dragon helped Chelsea bowl.


Abby got her baby blessing yesterday, which was the 11th of December. The dress she is wearing is the same dress that both Chelsea and Brie wore for their blessings. Grandma Heit made it! Grandma Kelly made the blessing blanket that is laying on the couch there. Such talents!

Here are the Heits that were here to witness/participate.

And here are the Kellys, all present and accounted for. We count Jennifer as a Kelly even though technically she's a Bowles.

Uncle Greg is back from his mission! He served in Brazil. We all went to the airport to greet him as he returned, only to find that the plane had arrived early. Shucks. Oh well. The girls were very shy at the airport, but at the Heit house it didn't take them long to warm up to him. Brie even fell asleep on his lap!

I took this as I'm trying to blog this post. I had Abby with me hanging out on Brie's bed, and it didn't take long for big sisters to find us and begin playing with Abby. She quickly was hugged, kissed, cuddled, and covered in every blanket nearby. Oh, big sisters. They love their baby, there's no doubt about that!

That's fun that Greg got to be there for Abby's blessing. The picture with all the girls on his lap is too cute.
