Santa came!

My computer is acting up or i've forgotton how to do things, but i wasn't able to copy and paste my little commentary at the bottom to up here...so, sorry!

Above:Riley and her new ariel chapstick, i think she used half the tube Christmas morning. She LOVES this stuff.

And of course, a shot on her new trike.


We had a wonderful Christmas this year. Riley woke up about 5:30 i think and slept in bed with us until about 7am. Dad-Josh went downstairs to get things ready and the video camera started. Riley didn't seem excited walking down the stairs to see what Santa brought for us, but i think she was tired and just didnt know what to expect. She soon got into the spirit of things and was VERY happy to see that santa left her a tricycle, she can't reach the pedals enough to go anywhere but she loves it still. She loved ripping through her gifts and inspecting each one. When she got down to only 2 gifts left she went and started playing with all her old toys and told us she didn't want to open presents anymore :)
We got to start a few new traditions this year and it was wonderful. Josh's grandmother passed away this year so we did christmas eve at his mom and dad's house instead. It turned out really fun and of course we were lucky enough to have AMAZING food. Then Christmas day this year we stayed home ALL day, didn't get out of our p.j's even! My parents came over after Riley's nap to visit. It was so nice to enjoy the day and not have to rush to a bunch of different houses. Riley got to play with all her new things and we got to sit and watch.

I have a few pictures but our regular camera is broken, well the screen is, really crappy for Braden's first christmas to get no pictures! (im going to cheat today or tomorrow and dress them both up and stick them in front of the christmas tree and try to take a few and hope that one turns out!) I'll post my "fake" christmas pictures as soon as i take them!

  1. I LOVE staying home and not going anywhere for Christmas. It is so nice! We stayed in our jammies all day too.

  2. I'm with you! We used to run around so much it was insane. We still go out but just for a few hours to Kestler's parent's house and then the rest of the family comes to us at our house. It is more fun and the kids are able to enjoy their presents! Too bad about your camera!!

  3. Glad you guys had a great Christmas Day. Having little kids totally changes things. It is so much fun. I can't wait till Brooke is Riley's age, it is going to be so fun. Sounds like you all were feeling ok which is super nice!
