Bye Bye Christmas!!

I am also so sad when Christmas leaves. We wait with anticipation for like a month and then it comes and is gone just like that. We Nelsons had a good Christmas this year as every year. Last year we were blessed with a beautiful baby girl, and it will alway continue as we watch her grow and experience new things that life brings. It was so good to be with family these past couple of days. Last year we missed the Barnett traditional gumbo because I had just barely had Keely, and I was so excited to eat shrimp gumbo that my Maumau prepares. It was really good this year too, as always. Christmas morning was fun to see Keely opening presents (well really just playing with the paper). She got Little People Zoo from Santa which she loves and a Little Mermaid cell phone!


I suprised Shawn good this year. He had no idea what I got him. Every year that we have been married prior he has either seen his gift of he knew was I was getting him. This year I got him a shot gun, and my brother in law bought it in Show Low and just kept it in Heber until we got there. It was really fun being sneaky.


Here are some pictures of our day, Oh and Keely's bottom. I coudln't resist. She ran away from me when I was changing her diaper to go play with her leap frog table. :) So cute.

How do you like my dad's hat? I love Christmas Morning.

Happy Birthday Keely

Happy Birthday to my sweet little baby Keely! I can't believe that she is one year old, and I have been a mom for a year now. It feels like just yesterday that my water broke and I was delivering her in the hospital, I swear the memories are still so fresh in my mind.


We had a party for Keely on Saturday with family and friends at Freestone park. It would have been nice to do it at our home, but it is just too small to fit anyone in here, so we did it at the park. It turned out good. The kids were running around and having fun; Kelli brought a pinata which was fun for the kids. I am glad it is over though, I don't know why I stress so much. I know it drives Shawn crazy. Here are some pictures of the day....



I had a lot of fun making this cake.

Keely was crawling around everywhere. She got so dirty.

Keely and her pinata. She got really mad when the kids broke him apart.

Keely eating her cake. MMM good.


Her messy face. She was so tired. She was ready for a nap.



Here is a slideshow of Keely's first year. She is not a baby any longer..... :(
