Merry Christmas!!!!!!

We are such slackers and have been so busy these past few weeks we haven't had a chance to update you on what's happening in our lives.

We want to remember Tim's Grandma. She passed away early this month after some battles with illness. She was an amazing women and was an example to us of following the examples of Christ. She was so kind, loving, caring, and generous. She loved her family, and most recently loved seeing Shyler and Calvin. She was the envy of the nursing home when the babies came to visit. We love you Grandma Irwin!

Shyler Tim and I had a great Christmas. Shyler got spoiled and got tons of toys, clothes, and a new car seat. The car seat was an early present and good thing because at her 9 month check up this month she measured 30 in long!!! The length limit on her old seat is 29. She also weighed 17 lb 14 oz. That moved her into the 97th% and 25th%!!!!! She is still our long skinny baby!

Shyler loves to play in her box from the car seat and Tim even cut out a door, a window, and a little sun rood so she could stand up in it!

Shyler and Tim got in a war with the baby powder and it looks like Tim won. Well, really he just thought it was closed and he squeezed it and it got all over her face, it was pretty funny though.

I've been working a couple days a week at Pier 1 and Tim watches Shyler at night. She stays up late waiting for me, but eventually falls asleep. One night I came home to this. She looked so cute cuddled up with her daddy!

I go to the Breastfeeding Support group at the hospital still, aka the boob group, and Shyler loves to play with her friends. Elizabeth, Marsden, and Shyler are only 10 days apart.

The Saturday before Christmas, Tim's sisters and I got together and baked Christmas goodies. Shyler was so good all day she got her first sugar cookie!! She is a little cookie monster and definitely takes after her mommy in that area.

Christmas Eve we spent part of the night at Amanda's sister Kelli's house. Shyler had fun helping open presents, well mostly just playing in the tissue paper afterwards. Also in the picture is her cousin Tyler, and saying Shyler and Tyler all night definitely was confusing her.

Amanda's Mom excited about her new shoes!

Christmas morning! Amanda got some fancy pajamas that are actually long enough in the sleeve!!! I always have the problem that pajama sets aren't long enough in the tops, but Tim found a good deal and a size Long in pajamas from Victoria's Secret.


Tim was also such a thoughtful husband and found this ceder chest for me and is working on refinishing it for me! I have always wanted one and he found a great deal on this one at a garage sale! It's still in progress, but I am so excited about it!

Merry Christmas from the Miller's!!!!!!


We are so thankful for this holiday season and for the chance to remember the birth of our Savior. We are thankful to remember the sacrifices He made for us and for the example he set to us. We hope that not only at Christmas, but throughout all the year we can follow His example and be like Him. We love this time of year and we love having so many family and friends to share it with. Thanks for being a part of our lives!
