Christmas 2012

Merry Christmas from Ryan, Connie and Briella!

 

What a fun Christmas! Somehow having a baby makes it that much more exciting, even though Briella is only 9 months old and doesn't really get it yet. She had a lot of fun playing with the wrapping paper. Ha ha! Oh, and the new toys once we threw the paper away.

We celebrated with Ryan's family on Christmas Eve at his sister's house. Then had our own little family thing on Christmas morning. I baked some ham from the night before and baked some eggs, too. (I was hoping to make baked french toast, but that just didn't happen...maybe next year.) We ate breakfast, read the last day of the Jesse Tree and then opened presents. After all that fun, we quickly got ready and headed out to Salt Lake to spend the rest of Christmas day with my family, including my aunt, uncle, cousins and cousins' kids. All in all it was a wonderful Christmas!

First look at the gifts under the tree.

Daddy bought Briella a rocket!

Tissue paper! :)

Multi-tasking...holding a ball and trying to open another present.

"I love my new car!" (The look on her face just cracks me up!)

 

Happy girl.

Playing with a small piece of wrapping paper she found. Ha.

In her new hat from Grandma!

Playing with an ornament from Grandpa and Grandma's tree.

Just a funny pic of daddy and B. :)

"Hi, Briella..." "Hi, Ciara..."

Hope everyone had a wonderful Christmas and a blessed New Year to come!
