Our Home

Lots of you have been asking to see pictures of our house. Well I had this one so I decided to post it. It is kind of dark but this is the front of our new home that we just love! More pictures will come later when I get around to taking some! Enjoy

Ryan and I had a little tree in our old apartment and when we moved into our house and got it set up we relized that it was not going to work. It looked fine in our little apartment but it looked pretty sad once we put it into our living room so my wonderful husband bought me this beautiful tree and with help from his mom we got it all decorated and I have to brag a little but I was so happy how it turned out!

Merry Christmas!

We had a wonderful Christmas this year and Santa spoiled us all! Sydney as you can tell was so excited on Christmas morning! It was so much fun to watch her face light up! She got way to many things but we had so much fun reguardless.

On Christmas Eve was always go with Ryan's family to dinner and then a carriage ride in downtown Salt Lake. It was a blizzard outside while we were eating but the snow cleared and the carrage ride was great. We bundled up because it was freexing but Sydney didn't seem to mind.

Santa Claus

We took Sydney to have her picture taken with Santa. All week we told her we were going to go and see him and he would give her a treat. She was so excited and all week when we would say Santa she goes "Ho Ho Ho". So we woke up Saturday morning and told here we were going to see Santa today and she looked at us and stopped and said "No Santa" I was a little nervous but we were going anyway. We got her all dressed in her pretty dress and were ready to go. She had a good time running around the halls with her cousins and then it was our turn. When we walked in Santa said a big "Ho Ho Ho" and she turned so fast and looked at him and just started to scream. She was literally shaking in my arms at the thought of having to go and sit on Santa's lap. I finally just had to set her down and let her cry. The bottom picture was the very first one as you can tell she is scared out of her mind but then after a minute the top picture was the best smile she could muster. She was so cute when she got her treat from Santa she was not done crying but she choked out a "thank you Santa bye bye Santa." Then on the ride home she kept saying "Santa hold me, Santa hold me." We asked if she like Santa and she said yes, then we ask if she wanted to go back and see Santa "No!" I guess we will never forget this Santa picture where Sydney was scared to death. Hopefully next year will be better!

My New Dress

I was so excited to dress Sydney in her new Christmas dress. I just love Christmas time and by the look on Sydney's face I think she does to! She is becoming this little person and it blows my mind each and every day to watch her learn new things and be delighted by things that little girls love.

Tuckered Out

Sydney had a hard time going to nursery yesterday but once she warmed up and got playing she had a great time! On our way home I told her that it was time to take a nap. We got home and we tried to lay her down and she was not very happy. So we decided she could come out and have a snack. She was having some cheese crackers and I was helping Ryan with something in the other room. When we came back in the room this is what we saw!
She just wore herself out at nursery and this is one thing that she has NEVER done before but we just thought it was the cutest thing that she just couldn't keep her eyes open any longer!

First Big Snow!

I was soooo excited when we woke up this morning to see the snow. It is so beautiful outside and it is so fun to be cozy and warm inside and watch the big flakes coming down! Anyway I always love the first big snow storm of the year!
