Christmas

Here are some of the pictures from around Christmas time.  We went to see Santa Clause at the mall and Lahna insisted on taking him a Hershey Kiss.  When we got there she refused to sit on his lap but she went up and gave him a high five.  She then pulled the melted Hershey Kiss out of her pocket and handed it to him.  When he told her thank you but that she could keep it she decided right then she sure loved Santa Clause.  Even at 2 chocolate is the way to a girls heart ( :

Bryce and I went to an ugly Christmas sweater party!


Our beautiful Christmas tree!

One of the swimmers made all the coaches these really cool ornaments.
I caught Lahna sneaking into the bag of marshmallows...
I should have known better than to leave them on the counter.


Happy Girl.

Every year on Christmas Eve day we go to the Botanical Center.
Ryan and Lahna
Ryan and Jackson
Oh Marcus!
Checking out the fish and the turtles.

Jackson did not want his picture taken!

Christmas Eve

Lahna and Blythe with Aunt Tara and Aunt Katie!

Christmas morning was tons of fun because this year Lahna was old enough to know that Santa Clause came with presents.  She didn't really care what was in the wrapping paper (I could have wrapped empty boxes) she just had a blast ripping the paper off.




Lahna loves her new chapstick

We celebrate Christmas with my family on New Years day.
The kids loved the light up race car track the boys got from Mimi.

Lahna playing the boys' guitar

Jackson giving Lahna a ride in his sweet new car!
Aunt Katie had a photo shoot with Ryan and Lahna...



Lots of love!!!
A video the night of Christmas when Lahna hadn't napped, had eaten a ton of sugar and was super tired...
It's pretty much just a bunch of nonsense



Katie took a video of Lahna driving Ryan's car at Christmas.  
Evidently Bryce ( ;  has a little bit of road rage!

Sledding!

Lahna loves playing in the snow and sledding.  Aunt Katie wanted to get pictures of her riding on the reindeer.

Sitting with Santa in the sled.

Lahna's baby snowman
The first time we went sledding I wasn't so sure what she would think but after going down the hill a couple of times with me and Aunt Katie she wanted to go all by herself.

Climbing back up.  It was a good workout!

We went sledding again with the boys.  This time we packed them all into the wagon to take them down to the park.

Jackson is nice and comfy in the middle!

All three on the tobaggan

Jamie with all three kids

Jackson liked going down the hill on his tummy.

Ryan didn't love sledding but he loved laughing when Lahna and Jackson went down the hill.

Cute face!

Lahna and Mimi

Jamie made Ryan go down...he wasn't thrilled


Ryan!
Jackson just chilling while Jamie pulls him back up the hill
Lahna and Jackson were crazy kids on the sled.  They loved it!

We thought it would be fun to make hot chocolate when we got back from sledding.  It was fun for the kids who made a giant mess by spilling it down themselves, the table, and the floor!  


Ryan could care less about the hot choc. he just wants the marshmallows!
Look at the table in front of the kids...the difference in boys and girls should be apparent.
