More Christmas Eve

More fun:

Lizzy and Daddy having fun!
Their present was new coats (unlike the usual p.j.s every other year.)

Lizzy in her coat with her old lady walker.

Aunt Cathy, Grandma, Ryan and Lizzy!

This is Ryan's Uncle Les, the amazing thing is that tree and car aren't miniature, he really is that BIG~!

After they got opened...

This post should be below the last one but, ugh, I don't feel like fixing it...

Aliyah!
Rylee!

Lizzy?

can't decide...

which hat she likes best!!!

Christmas in Boise

We went to Twin for Christmas this year but luckily Santa brought some of our presents before we left!

Here's our tree and the presents we opened in Boise.
Aliyah with her stash!

Rylee with hers!

And Lizzy with hers!

And this is the navtivity that Lowes had for $75 that they let Ryan buy for $1!!! (the bottom level spins around and it has a switch that plays the manger story. Way exciting!)

Santa and Monkey Girl...

My camera is dead for the moment so if we want a picture on here we have to borrow our neighbors camera, which we try not to do too often, they are great neighbors!

Here is a picture of our girls on Santa's lap. (We tried not to be in it but our children decided to get Santaphobia so this was the best we could do.)

These next few pictures are of our precious Brynlee Elizabeth, who has decided it's not time for walking yet, trying to crawl/walk in a dress.

It looked really funny because she wouldn't put her knees down,

so she ended up looking like a monkey,

Our little monkey girl!!! (When she's not crawling she's using a walker to get around the house, which she is pretty good at doing she can turn it and manuever it where ever she wants, she is like a little old lady it's so cute!)

Brynlee Elizabeth Turns ONE! (be prepared for a LOT of pictures!!!)

Here is her cake! okay very dull, not time consuming at all (like Rylee's was, and I don't recommend using betty crocker premade icing, homemade is much easier to write with)
And here is the little cookie monster enjoying her first part of the cake,
as the other two revolt, they want sugar! (notice the forks in hand)

Then Brynlee Elizabeth realizes I walked away with the cake and she has NONE! Oh the tears,

but she gets her cake and that makes it all better!!!

...

I don't know who this kid is, but none of my kids "pick" at sugar like this,
now that is more like one of mine,

then she puts it down to get the other,

then back to the first,

then she doesn't bother setting any down, that's a double-fist of chocolate!

...

Now that's more like the kid I know!
One down,

Two down! And looking like a scavanger at her sisters...

and then at mine! (you would think she is starving by that look)

So I shared a bite of mine, but it wasn't enough!
