We gave my mom a scrapbook of Kiya. Kiya loves looking at pictures of herself, she can't help it, she's so dang cute :)
Steve and Lindsay moved into their new home a few weeks before Christmas. So we all went over to see it. It's such a beautiful home, we're so excited for them!
Kiya did a good job taking down grandma's tree.
My sister Shelly LOVES books! So she of course got quite a few to add to her library.
Ok, don't look too close at this picture :) Love the cheesy grin, I was so excited to get my pretty new mixer.
I guess we know where Kiya gets that cheesy grin huh. She loves draping things around her neck - daddy's belt, tape measure, her pj's, etc. this time she got it right with Katie's scarf.
Grandma Riddoch made this adorable cape, so cute.
My mom rockin her FABULOUS new shoes!
Lindsay surprised Steve with new skis!
Kiya and her auntie Lindsay
Lance was the hardest one to drag out of bed, poor guy was so tired - we got in late the night before.
Kyle was sooo sick, he didn't play with his new toys til probably a week after Christmas. I told him to smile, and you can tell the poor kid just didn't feel good.
Kiya and Katie (and Kitty)
Brother Steve - looking lively, they were up since 5 am!
I know, it's getting a little ridiculous. But I'd like to do the thing where you get your posts printed off or whatever, so this is the last of the Christmas, I swear! These are from my parents house, Christmas morning. Lance and I drive to Boise Christmas Eve night, I think we got in at midnight. This year it wasn't one of the youngest siblings waking everyone up at the crack of dawn, nope, it was my married brother Steve and his wife Lindsay, I love them! Yep, they were up at five, but kindly waited til like 7:00/7:30 to come over and wake us all up! It's always so good to be home. We had such a fun morning. It was the first year that Kiya could kinda get into things, and she did. She started walking the week before Christmas so she definitely was enjoying her new found freedom! She enjoyed her new toys and of course, had fun with the wrapping paper. We always have crepes for breakfast, and my mom gets each of our favorite cereal to eat that morning as well. And then she fills the kitchen counter with every kind of food - candy, hickory farms spread, little smokys (mmmm), 7 layer dip(Lance's fav), cookies, mints etc. etc. you get the picture - it's a freakin smorgasbord! My parents always do so much to make Christmas special. We pretty much eat, play with our new toys, watch movies, and just enjoy being together. Good times.
The Melting Pot
The birthday cake Lance got was from Coldstone. I always get birthday cake icecream with sprinkles when we go there, so that's what he got! Soooo good, I practically inhaled it!
