High Country Lanes

VPC Builders had their end of year party at the bowling ally. We had a great time bowling and hanging out with everyone. This was actually Ollie's first time bowling and he loved it!

Hazel slept through the whole evening

Turns out Gary Alan is a good bowler...nice form :-)

The ramp was a huge help

Well, Miss Hazel went in for her 2 week check up today. She is a growing, her weight is up to 7lbs 1oz and her height is 20.5 inches. So she is exactly where she's supposed to be...the Dr looked her over and said she was perfect.

Let's see, Hazel is eating like a champ, definitely got this feeding thing down pat and she's working on figuring out her nights and days. At 2 weeks she currently likes to be swaddled and rocked and held of course. She also likes to be worn in her baby carrier and enjoys getting her hair washed. We're starting to see more of her personality traits each day and can't wait for that first smile!

Just a few cute pics taken over the last couple days

Ollie and Hazel getting to know each other

He really is sweet with her, it's cute to watch him study her and try figure her out. Ollie has been good with this adjustment. He has his moments, but for the most part he's been a great big brother!

Look at that face, Ollie's face

Sweet Hazel Rivers

She's one sweet and cuddly baby.

Hazel Rivers Smith

Well, Christmas came a little early for our family this year. We got to welcome our beautiful daughter, Hazel into this world on December 22nd. We could not be more in love with this sweet girl!

6 pounds 12 ounces. 19.1 inches long

Ollie was excited, but probably a little freaked and overwhelmed watching his sister in the nursery

He loved getting to hold his baby sister though. It was such a sweet moment

Enjoying some sweet snuggles from Ollie

The hospital made us a special meal the morning we were discharged. It was a nice breakfast with a Christmas theme, well it was Christmas Eve, complete with fancy sparkling grape juice and gifts for Hazel. There are volunteers for the hospital that knit baby booties, mittens and hats for the newborns.

We're so glad you're here Hazel Rivers!

Getting ready to head home

All set...first car ride!

Oh Christmas tree, oh Christmas tree

We went out and got our Christmas tree from our friends at M&M Farms this past weekend. We just love the tree patch, candy canes, hot chocolate, apple cider and the hay ride.
