A Star Is Born!

Our new niece, Briley Michelle, was born on Thursday, December 22 at 5:09 pm weighing 5 lb 8 oz. She is the sweetest, cutest baby! Mike and I arrived in DFW at 1pm and made it to the hospital with my dad at 4pm. We made it just in time for Briley's arrival! It was so nice to see Lauren beforehand...both her and baby did great.

As you can see, our household is quite obsessed with photographing Briley. She's just so darn cute! Mike and I had a wonderful visit with our families during the Christmas break, and the timing of Briley's arrival was perfect because we were able to spend so much time with her. I'm going to miss hanging out with Briley, Lauren and my family every day, but I've already booked a ticket back to DFW in 6 weeks to see Briley again. :)

We wish you and your family a wonderful start to the New Year! Enjoy the photos below of Briley.

Here's a picture of Briley soon after she was born.
