First Christmas/New Years '05



From the day that we found out we were expecting, daddy had been hoping the baby would arrive before Christmas--even though our due date was not after the New Year! He got his wish!! We were celebrating this christmas with our little girl. Grandma and Grandpa Salazar came to visit, making the holidays even more special. They came filled with the excitement of sharing Christmas with their first born grand-child. Katherine was only a little under a month old, but we had lots of fun taking pictures of her under the christmas tree, with mom and dad, and with mommy. Grandma and grandpa had come bearing lots of gifts for baby, but we didn't open those until two days later. Seemed that our focus this Christmas was more on the joy and blessing that we felt to have our beautiful little girl, healthy and at home with us. We even got to bed early that night--of course mommy and daddy were up with Kateli every 2 hours for feeding--as it had been the rest of the time since she had come home!




New Year's was another fun holiday this year! This time though, as it is tradition in my family, we stayed up until midnight to welcome the new year with a big hug! Right after that, we hit the sack! These are pictures taken on New Year's Eve!
