Christmas

Nia had a great first Christmas. She loved seeing her cousin Koda again, and meeting Great Grandma Lee and Great Aunt Pat. Dad began the tradition of reading the Night Before Christmas on Christmas eve and Nia did some more swimming. She also really enjoyed meeting her cousin, Abigal, who is just 10 days younger than Nia. It was nice of Abigal to bring her Exersaucer over for Nia to share!
Oh, and Santa was very good to Nia this year, bringing lots of toys and books and clothes!

Phoenix - December 21st - 23rd

Nia started her Christmas vacation spending a couple of days in Phoenix, AZ. She relaxed at the hotel, finished up Christmas shopping, and went swimming! She loved swimming and kicking her little legs.

Baptism - December 14

Nia had a beautiful baptism at the Linden Hills Congregational Church. Nana and Grandfather came out to Minneapolis for the service. Nana made Nia a gorgeous christening dress ...made from the same material as mom's wedding gown. It was stunning!

Exersaucer fun!

Nia loves her Exersaucer, thanks Grandma & Grandpa!

Sometimes Nia doesn't need a reason to be cute, that's just how she rolls. On the cute tip. Get used to that hat Nia, it's cold up here!
