Merry Christmas

Santa found us!
Ri was so excited about her baby that she didn't
put her down all day! I ended up opening all her
presents for the rest of the day!
Santa even filled Ryan's stocking, no, not with cole
he's been a pretty good boy this year!
We went over to dad and Joni's for brunch with
the family. This is such a great picture because Ri
is usually so shy around my grandpa and she ran
right up to him and wanted a hug. It made his day!
My grandma and grandpa gave her this table and
chairs with the disney princesses on them, it ranked
up the with her baby, she loved it!
Here are some cute pictures of the gang!
Me and my cute husband.
Justin, Katie and my grandpa.

My brothers Derek and Kyle with Ri.

Justin, Jenny and Joni. We had a very Merry

Christmas and we hope you all did too!

Christmas Eve

Christmas Eve started out with me and Ri

making cookies for Santa, I know you're all

wondering, why did she make little blobs for

Christmas, well they're trees, I know it's a

shocker, but they were yummy! After Ri finished decorating them we got them

ready for Santa.

Later that night we headed over to dad and
Joni's for dinner and to watch Christmas Vacation.
Rian sweet talked her way into getting to open a
couple presents. This is LeBron the bear, my dad
named him and it stuck!

She also got Christmas jammies.

Christmas Party

They say a picture is worth a thousand words and

this one says it all, pure craziness! Every year on

the Sunday before Christmas Joni's family has

their annual party and it is always a blast, but this

year was even better because Ri has figured out

the whole Christmas thing and she was on

sensory overload tonight!She was all about opening presents, whether they

were hers or not.
She got some fun puzzles.

She was less impressed with the new clothes.

Ashley and Brooke looked so cute!

This is my sister-in-law Jenny and my brother

Zach and Katie and my brother Justin.

Grandma and her girls.

How cute are these two!Ri reading her book, she so funny!

A Visit with Santa and Our Gingerbread House

This morning Ri and I had a few last minute

gifts to get and while we were at the mall

Rian just had to see Santa. She was so excited

she didn't stop talking the whole time we

were waiting! When she got up to Santa she

sat on his lap and told him she wanted a

baby, everything was fine until I stepped

away to take a picture and then freak out!

I wish the picture wasn't so blurry, there

was a fingerprint on the lens that I didn't

notice until after.After we recovered from the Santa drama we

decided to make our gingerbread house, I say make,

really we just put it together and decorated it!

Ri thought it was the greatest thing ever, she

had fun with all the frosting!
We had a pretty fun day!

Cookie Exchange

Since we moved into our house my family has been

telling me I need to have a get together so they

could come up and see the place. On Saturday I

decided to do just that and have a cookie exchange.

Mother nature had other plans and we got 8 in. of snow!This is our tree. Ri made the chain at

daycare. She is so proud of it, she tells

us every morning that she made it!

My step mom braved the elements and came

up. Ri was so excited to see Grandma!


I made white chocolate cranberry biscotti and I
dipped the bottoms in chocolate, and I don't like
to toot my own horn, but toot! toot! They were
really yummy!

Here's a little funny Christmas Greeting from us, Enjoy!

Spots!

Rian gave us a little scare this weekend, she woke

up on Thanksgiving covered in red spots, we

thought she was having an allergic reaction

to something so we rushed her to the doctor.

It wasn't an allergic reaction which was good,

but she has something called Eyrthema. It's a

benign skin condition, they don't know what causes

it and it just goes away on it's own in a few days.

You just feel so bad looking at her because she's

all splotchy and swollen, but the good news is

that it didn't bother her at all!

Polar Express

Wednesday, the day before Thanksgiving, we went

to Heber to ride the Polar Express. We Almost

didn't make it because Ryan got stuck at work,

but we got there just before the train pulled out! Rian had a great time! Elves pass out hot chocolate

and cookies and they read the book while the kids

follow along.

When the train gets to the North Pole it picks up
Santa and he walks around and talks to all the kids
and gives everyone a bell just like in the book.

Baby Max

I'm so behind on my blogging. Last Sunday our

friends Scott and Liz came over with their new

baby Max. He's a month old now and getting so

big! I debated whether I should put this picture

on here because I look rough, you would think I

was the one that just had the baby!Rian is in love with Max, she thinks he's her baby!

Family Pictures

Well, it's the holiday season again and that means

family pictures. We got ours done this morning

and here are some of my favorites!Thanks to the Ryans for being such good

sports!

TWILIGHT!

Last night was finally the night we have been waiting

for for sooo long, Twilight premiered at midnight and

we were there! I was seriously so excited, I'll admit

it, I had the fever! We met up at Joni's house for a few pictures.

Then it was off to Squatters for dinner and drinks.

It was a pretty busy place on a Thursday night

at 10pm, it kind of surprised me.

After dinner we went to the theater, it was hysteria!

So many screamy girls, it was so funny, I'm glad we

were there to get the full experience!

This was us right before the movie started. The

movie was perfect, I loved it! It was just like I

imagined it! The cast was perfect everyone just fit!

Thanks Ash and Joni, I had such a fun night I'm

ready to see it again!
