He is Risen!

Easter was a fun and beautiful time at the Steele household.  We so enjoyed celebrating the joyous fact that we serve a risen Savior!  As our first year with a little one, this year was even more special.  Naturally, at 5 1/2 months old, Finley is unable to fully participate in the holiday festivities or understand the magnitude of the gift we are celebrating, but she enjoys the extra attention nonetheless.

We started the festivities a week early at JaJa's and Cindy's (that "Crazy lady" as she calls herself to Finley) spring show that included a visit from the Easter Bunny himself.  (Thanks Uncle Seth!)
She LOVED the bunny!
She was also very tired.  One of the things she does when she is tired is nuzzling you but not in a gentle way.  

Our home celebration on Easter morning included a visit from the Easter bunny.
Finley's first Easter basket.
She loved digging through her basket of eggs, bubbles, mum-mum's, a bunny purse (from JaJa) and a bouncy ball (not pictured).
Family pictures.  Everyone is a bit tired...especially Mommy.

After church, we had lunch at my parent's house with my grandfather.

She loves her Papa Cross.

4 Generations.

These girls love their Big C!

Kisses for Big C.

She doesn't get any affection as you can see.

Poor Aunt CiCi usually gets pictures like this.
Then finally a good one.
 MoMo got some love too.

Doing her pterodactyl yell.

Obviously, our crazy, smiley girl had a great Easter as did we.  Hope you enjoyed your family celebrations as well.

Finley's first Fall

I am a couple of months behind.  Sorry.  My cutie takes all my time.
_______________________________________________________________
One of our first adventures as a family was to the pumpkin patch with cousin Coleman, Aunt Candace, and JaJa.  I can only assume Finley loved it; I assume since she slept through most of it.
This must have been taken before the horse bit him.  We missed the "Don't feed the ponies.  They bite" sign.  Oops!

Every kid loves a good petting zoo and this was definitely the highlight of this "pumpkin farm".  (It was more like a farm where they brought pumpkins in and sold them...less of a place where they grow them.)


Finley loved the farm too if her sound sleeping was any indication.
They had the neatest play area and Cubby took full advantage.
Tractors like his Big C's.
JaJa and her little pumpkins!

Baby's first Halloween : 2.5 weeks old
Dressed as the cuddliest bunny around.
No candy for this girl, but I think she think she enjoyed the dress up part.

Baby's first Thanksgiving : 6 weeks old
 Her cousins are ready for her to get big and be able to play with them.  They could use some more people at the kids table too.
 Our little turkey!
 Getting chubby!
 Looking just like her momma!
 Talking to daddy!
Hope you all enjoyed your fall holidays as much as we did!

Christmas 2011 was Merry and Bright!

My favorite Christmas scent.

My favorite puppy's first Christmas.

My husband putting up the most amazing Christmas lights! 

 Nephews make Christmas so fun!

I asked them to pose next to their gifts.
Copelan chose the classic hands clasped in front.
Caden, ever the creative type, chose a unique fist pump pose.  Always hilarious.

Yes...Dad is wearing one of his jerseys from high school.

Coleman loved his one-year old Christmas!

I hope your Christmas was as special as ours was!
