Christmas 2008

Here's more Christmas!  Lance, Kiya and I went and saw the lights at the Mesa Temple.  It's kind of a fun little tradition that we started.  Kiya appreciated them a bit more this year than she did last.  It's fun to see her growing up, she started walking the week before Chistmas!  Which has definitely been an adventure in itself.  She's also started saying a few words - stop(top), night night(nigh nigh), do this do that(do dis do dat).  I have loved every stage our little girl is going through.  I feel so blessed to have her in my life.

My child LOVES her binky, sometimes it's hard to get a pic without it :

This was during our loooong journey up to Idaho.  Kiya was so good, she read her books and actually watched the DVD player really good.  She doesn't really watch much at home (too busy getting into anything and everything), so I don't know if she wasn't used to it or what, but she wouldn't blink she just stared at the screen and her eyes would start watering really bad.  Lance and I kept trying to get her to blink :)

On the way up to Idaho we usually always stop and stay the night at my Grandparents in Utah.  It's always fun to go to Grandma and Grandpa's house and this time was no exception.  We opened presents and got some really fun cuddly blankets.

Kiya really cleaned up at her Great Grandparents house, she loved her cuddly doggy and pretty coat and a Christmas book!  Kiya loves stuffed animals she hugs them and gives them kisses and makes squealy animal noises.

While in Idaho we went to the Harwood's ugly sweater party.  (In Jess and I defense we rolled into Idaho the night of the party, hence the lack of ugly sweater on our part).  It was a really fun party - thanks Whitney and Travis.
