MERRY CHRISTMAS EVERYONE!
We had a wonderful holiday season this year with all of our family! We were able to go up north to Morgan Hill and visit with all of Kirk's family. What a blast we had! Malia got to see all of her cousins and we enjoyed hanging out with everyone. Kirk and his dad spent a lot of time in their workshop building a new coffee table and bench for our house (pictures to come later) and they turned out awesome!
Part of the Schillings' Christmas tradition is that they do a Nativity program every year. This year I was in charge of playing the piano (which I am super rusty at!), Kirk was the narrator, and Malia was the baby Jesus. She was so excited for her first time performing that she actually fell asleep for most of it.

Here is the beautiful Mother Mary with baby Jesus
The shepherds presiding in the fields
The angels we have heard on high
Joseph with another little shepherd
We three kings of orient timesThe program was a hit and the piano playing was luckily drowned out with all the other instruments that the kids were playing. We had a full on band going, it was great!
Kennedie made this gingerbread man for Malia. Since she is not able to eat gingerbread just yet, she settled for some sweet potatoes and gave the gingerbread to her cousins
Daddy and daughter
We are almost sitting up on our own!
Malia's first Christmas
Our Christmas photo in front of the treeWhen we got home from Morgan Hill, we did a 2nd Christmas with my super tiny family. Because my brother is on his mission in Australia, and my sister is on her mission in Rochester New York, my poor parents were orphans this year! Luckily they were taken in by some great friends:)
We opened presents and did the big Christmas breakfast with them when we got home so they wouldn't feel like they missed out on anything. Of course my parents spoiled us rotten this year. We got a new gate for the bonus room so that Malia can have free reign as she learns to move around more. We got apple t.v. which is super cool. We got some clothes and games and cooking apparatuses. It was awesome!
Even Mr. Hobbs got a little Christmas chew toy
I'm convinced Malia was more thrilled about the wrapping paper than she was about her actual gifts. At least she is super easy to please this year!
The Weber family for Christmas
Excuse how awful I look. Baby's first Christmas!
And Santa brought Malia a new car! Yay! High roller! ;)She is already looking forward to the walks we are going to take in her new car this spring.
Hope everyone's holiday was merry and bright!
Love, the Schillings
