Christmas

We had a wonderful Christmas here is Utah and it was so much fun to have Aubrey get excited about everything. The picture above is right after Aubrey woke up Christmas morning and she saw what Santa brought.

Checking out the pile of presents. She woke up with the cutest bed hair Christmas morning.

Looking at stockings.

Excited to see what is in her stocking.

Sunglasses!

After we opened our stockings and a few presents we did the web camera with my parents. Aubrey loved talking to them and opening the gifts that they had sent.

Telling Grandma and Papa all about her toy.

After we spent the morning at home we headed over to the Harvey's for brunch and more gifts. Aubrey is in love with her Gloworm. She also got blocks, a new puppy, Zhu Zhu pet, bristle block legos, pajamas, water toys, puzzle, white sandals that she loves, and lots more!

Look at all the presents!

Loved the excitement of Christmas. We had a great day!

'Twas The Night Before Christmas

Just after Santa had visited.

Aubrey playing with Keeley, her 1st cousin once removed.

We spent Christmas Eve at Cameron's Grandparents house in Kaysville. We had a fun time eating soup and visiting with family. Aubrey had a fun time playing with the kids and fun Great Grandma and pa toys.

Unloading

I know I may be silly for posting this, but I had to laugh earlier today. Aubrey has gotten really good at unloading the dishwasher. She knows where things belong and can put away things that go in the lower drawers. She then hands me silverware and other things that go up higher. Today this is where she put the measuring cup and I didn't see it until I went to cook dinner. My first thought...Why did she put it there? But look at the shape and color. Smart girl.

We haven't been good at taking pictures lately. We should get better with Christmas Eve and Christmas day coming up. Aubrey is kissing her cousin Eden. We were looking at Lindsey's blog.

Four Year Anniversary

Cameron and I celebrated our 4 year wedding anniversary on December 16th. Aubrey was able to spend time with her Grandma and Grandpa Harvey while Cameron and I went to Salt Lake. We enjoyed looking at all the lights and eating great food. I can't believe how quickly those 4 years went.

Ring Around the Rosie

Reindeer, Mice, and Ducks

We went out to a nursery so Aubrey could visit a couple of Santa's reindeer. We also went on a hay ride through mud, but Aubrey loved it.

Cheesy grin at the reindeer (click on the picture to see it bigger...if you have seen her cheesy grin before you will agree that I finally got a good picture of it.)

Showing Daddy.

Watching him eat. So funny!

Trying to tell Santa what I want for Christmas.

We went to the Dicken's festival with Cameron's family. They had mice finger puppets. Aubrey wasn't sure what to think.

Today was so nice. Mid to upper 50s. Aubrey and I went to Beus Pond with our downstairs neighbors, Kristie and her little girl Taylor. The girls had a blast feeding the ducks, running after dogs, holding hands, and enjoying the springlike weather. If only this nice weather could last! It was so nice to be outside for a couple hours.

Aubrey laughing at Taylor.

Holding hands. These two little girls love each other. They have so much fun.

How Much I Have Grown in a Year!

Just as cute as ever!

Berries and Snow

First snow angel.

Knee deep in snow.

Loves the berries. Hates getting cleaned up.

Christmas Shopping with a Toddler

Sometimes I wonder why I get so tired at the end of the day. This video clip may explain it. At least she isn't pulling clothes off the racks and destroying everything. Leigh came with Aubrey and me this morning so between the two of us we were able to glance at a few things. I tried to hold Aubrey but she would wiggle until I let her down. I better be careful that she doesn't get too used to getting her way every time we go out.

Montana Thanksgiving

Lots of pictures from this past week. We had a blast spending time in Montana with my parents and Lauren & Brian & Brynlee. We headed up last Friday and stayed just over a week, coming back on Sunday. We had cold weather the week we were up there, with highs in the single digits and lows below zero. We had fun playing with the girls, getting out on jogs while Grandma babysat, and eating lots of good food.

The first Saturday we were there, my high school was playing in the State Championship football game right in Bigfork. My mom was nice and watched the girls while listening to the game on the radio (it was way too cold to bring them with us). It was such and exciting game and Bigfork scored in the last 8 seconds to win! I loved being back home and realize more and more each day how lucky I was to grow up in a small town.

Thanksgiving day we had my grandparents and some friends over. We ate, played games, and had a great time.

Great Grandma and Grandpa Dalton with Brynlee.

Brian, Lauren, and Brynlee.

Playing with the balloons they brought over. Aubrey had a blast playing with the balloons.

Tub time with Brynlee in the big tub!

Bigfork's new bowling alley is just a few miles away from my parent's house. We went the first Monday we were there and then took my parents on Friday. My parents have only bowled a couple times, but you wouldn't know it, cause they are great! Dad bowled a 195!

Lauren and Brynlee bowling. Aubrey liked clapping for everyone.

Hanging out.

On Friday night my cousin Joe played with his band in downtown Bigfork. I had never seen him play or sing before. It was so fun! Below is a video of him singing, as well as Aubrey playing with Papa.
