The Universal Blogging Slump

Is it just me, or does there seem to be some strange universal blogging slump going on right now? It's probably because of Christmas. Everyone had such a good time, got caught up with family and parties and yummy food. And now we're all just trying to catch up on blogging life...

Right?

I'm not just using that as an excuse am I?

Well, whether it's a lame excuse or not, here I am once again! With more cute pictures. Yay!

We had a wonderful time visiting family and friends in Utah. It was definitely hard to come back to Pittsburgh. Oops, did I say that out loud? Sorry Josh.

Brinkley developed this mommy attachment issue while we were there, but otherwise she was so much fun for everyone! And she ate more big people food over a 3 week period than she ever has in her whole little life! She also got really good at crawling. So good, in fact, that she thought she should go straight to climbing all over stuff.

Climbing = Bonking the head and then crying about it.
Next step: Walking. I'm not ready!!!

She had lots of smiles to show off those two adorable teeth!

She sat on Santa's lap, and didn't even cry!

She got to play with her cousin Jude...

And her cousin Dax, if she could keep up with him of course!

She got PLENTY of kisses from Grandma Becky,

And LOVED playing with her Grandma Ginny.
I think Grandma may have liked it too... Just a little bit.

(She also visited Grandma Kathy, but I failed to get pictures of that, oops! Sorry Kathy)

She ate her Christmas Biscuit on Christmas morning.
Which sounds kinda nasty, but she sure enjoyed it.

And she learned to play the Tambourine at Family Home Evening. What a talented little gal.

It was the best Christmas break!
When do we get to come again???
I have an idea...
Let's celebrate Christmas every month!

Thank you family for the most wonderful Christmas ever!
