Audrey and her Piglet Pal. They're just hanging out...sharing a few hugs.

Mommy made the mistake of looking away for a few seconds. Heather and Christopher decided that Audrey was lonely in her bouncy seat.

Audrey is being introduced to the teddy bear that Daddy got her when she was born by her big sister. Heather likes to hold Audrey and have "girl talk" with her.

This is our tree this year. It's a 7 1/2 footer! Do you have any idea how hard it is to decorate a tree that is 2 1/2 feet taller than you are!!??!!

Jerry and I had agreed that we wouldn't exchange gifts this year...apparantly, we both have hearing problems!

The kids loved opening their presents. According to the oldest ones, Santa did a pretty good job this year.

Christopher got a shaving kit for Christmas and Daddy was showing him how to shave. Christopher laughed the entire time because it tickled!

Mommy put Audrey in Christopher's stocking...poor little thing fit perfectly! Daddy said that she was the perfect Christmas gift!

Grandma and PaPa with Heather, Christopher, Zachary, and Audrey.

Our poor little pumpkin is so small that her first bed was a laundry basket!! She fit perfectly AND she was portable.

Grandma and PaPa are thrilled with their newest granddaughter!

Audrey Katharine Marie Farias was born on December 5, 2006 at 10:19am. She weighed 5 lbs. 7 oz. and was 17 1/2 inches long. She was born in Owensboro, Kentucky. Jerry, the kids, and I went to visit Mom and Dad for Thanksgiving and I started having contractions. The hospital advised me, strongly, against traveling back to Louisiana. Grandma and Grandpa sure weren't upset that she decided to make her debut in Owensboro. Uncle Bubby was a bit scared of her because she is so small. :-) She is an adorable, precious little angel. Heather told Grandma that her baby sister is "like a doll, only with batteries." Christopher has declared her "cool" and "cute" and says that we can keep her. Zachary is fascinated with her and is always wanting to see her and touch her cheeks with his little finger. And, of course, Daddy thinks that his baby girl is a definite keeper. He was a little scared of her at first too. I would hand her to him and he would go pale...hahaha. Now he is more comfortable and I think he realizes that she won't break. Our family is now complete and we are thrilled with all of our "Crawdad Critters."
