First Christmas

Merry Christmas everyone! We hope that you all had a blessed time and really enjoyed seeing all family and friends! we were suppose to visit Great grandma Jeanne and Grandma Ginger and Gene on Sunday the 21st, but due to weather condition we had to postpone that visit. Christmas Eve we gathered at Jen Jen's house for the Pearson Christmas. Was great fun and Kyla really enjoyed opening her gifts. Like we figured. She enjoyed the wrapping paper more than the gifts themselves. She did an awesome job and didn't get fussy once! EVERYONE said she was an angel! Ha She got them fooled! Just kidding, my kiddo really is an angel.

Christmas Day was just for us. Dustin, Kyla and I all slept in. That was a nice change. Then we all got up and opened our presents. Again Kyla has more fun with the paper! It was a relaxing day that I was really glad to have. We made a yummy breakfast and just hung out as a family. Good Times!

crawler!

OK So i thought i would try to post a little video I took of Kyla with my camera! There is no sound but you can see how fast she can get herself moving! She loves playing cards, so i used them to get her moving. so cute! Enjoy

happy holidays....

Well, it is the busy time of the year for this Marquand Family.

November 1st brought the long waited arrival of Mason Richard Heebin. I posted some pictures of the little cuttie last month! I can't wait to start babysitting him two days a week at the end of January!

Thanksgiving was spent at Dustin's parents place and man was that a interesting time! They had friends from Virginia come and stay with them, so our dinner totaled 19 people! It was loud and busy, but a lot of fun. That weekend we had my mom and Gene up for dinner and we had a relaxing evening chatting and playing with Kyla.

Kyla turned 7 months old this December! She is fully crawling now and I can't believe how fast she can move when she really want something.
On December 2nd Dustin and I celebrated our 3 year anniversary. Dustin took part of the morning off so we could enjoy breakfast together. Jonica and Abby were gracious enough to watch Kyla in the evening while Dustin and I had an opportunity to go out to eat at one of our favorite places, Pier 500. It was a wonderful meal!

I can't believe in a couple of days I will be turning 28! I can remember the days when I thought I would never get to 18! Time sure has a way of creeping up on us!

The church plant, Sanctuary, that we were apart of closed its doors in October. Since then we have been struggling to find a new church body that we want to get connected to. Huge prayer request! We really want to be in a church that is close to home with people near us that we can really get to know.

Life will be busy with my birthday, christmas, new years and Dustins bithday, but we will enjoy it!
Hope and Pray that you experience Gods Blessings today! Love you all!
