Frost Family Faces

I was not expecting a girl. For a "surprise" baby, she fulfilled her roll to the fullest! Surprise! it's a girl! (I really thought it would be a boy)

Arianna Noelle Frost arrived at 5:57 am on Jan 16, 2011 (my due date by the way) and wieghed in at 8 lbs, 12 oz, and 20 1/2 inches long. She is absolutely beautiful and has been the sweetest little girl. The birth story will come later, it was quite interesting and full of lots of surprises!

Enjoy the pictures for now of our little Arianna. (and there will be a lot more of those to come too)



Ethan couldn't wait to hold her! He's such a good big brother

Ella has been very solicitous! She can't leave the baby alone, but is always very soft and gentle in the process.

I went into the kids room the other day to find Ella under the play table, and Ethan handing her tools. They were "fixing" the table. It was just too cute to not get a picture of.


You can see the tools scattered next to Ella

Ethan kept handing Ella tools as Ella requested them...

We took it very slow and easy New Year's Day. We actually didn't do much that day. The kids slept in, then Charles took the kids to the store later, and I took down the rest of the Christmas decorations. We basically just chilled. It was really nice and relaxing.

Ethan slept in pretty late. He's so cute when he sleeps.

I love this picture. Ella is such a perky morning person and was the first one awake. I love her hair, it's sticking up in all directions.


Random picture...
And this is a 37 week picture. We took it while we were at Charles' parent's house. Gotta love the pajama pants. They match so well with the shirt.

New Year's Eve was spent as we always do, at my mom's house. It's always a very relaxing evening. The kids play with their cousins, the adults play games and watch movies and we eat...and eat...and EAT!! So much yummy food left over from the holidays. We always have such a fun time.

Enjoy the pictures, they tell all...

This isn't after midnight like you might think...this is actually about 5:00 in the evening. It may be a long night for him. Doesn't he just look so comfortable? Love ya bro.!


Ahhhh...kids and water, it doesn't' get any better than this. These three kids (Ella, Max and Mya) were all sticking their hands in the water, then sucking the water off their fingers, then dipping them back in. Hmmm...I think some germs got shared.

One of the favorite things to do on New Year's Eve... someone brings over a gaming system and they sit and play. Two years ago, it was a Wii, this year, Nintendo 64.

Ella walked right over to Travis, and plopped down right on his lap and snuggled right in. So cute! She loves her Uncle Travis

The kids made a train. So cute!

After playing "James Bond" on the Nintendo 64, the boys had to have their own "real" game...so they ran up and down the hall shooting dart guns at each other.

Getting the pans ready to bang! Ella is practicing on her's...

and Ethan is practicing too.

Ok, this is just a funny picture...here's the story. I was taking pictures of the kids, turned around to do something and got the camera knocked out of my hands, right onto the tile floor. Now, in May, the same thing had happened, but if fell right on the opened lens and bent/snapped it off, making it completely unusable. Luckily, we had a warranty that completely replaced the camera for free (whew!) but I was out of a camera for a month or so. So when the camera dropped again, I started to panic. Travis picked it up, said, "uh-oh, it's blurry" turned the camera off, then on again, and snapped this picture of me. The camera was fine, but I think the picture is a classic...yeah for me panicking!



At midnight, we all go outside and bang pots and turn the panic buttons on our cars on and make a good loud noise. Ella is screaming for Daddy to pick her up because it's COLD on her little feet!



Ethan just stood there, then turned around and went back inside and refused to come back out. I don't think he liked the noise.

HAPPY NEW YEAR!
