Merry Christmas! We had a fun and busy fun filled week celebrating Christmas. Some pictures that we actually got start with Shyler's second visit to see Santa. We went to Tim's parents ward Christmas party and a very familiar looking Santa stopped by. Yet again she was terrified at the thought of me even letting go of her! Her cousin Calvin however, got along great with Santa and appreciated his little treat he left him... Perhaps he was confused as well that Santa and Uncle Walter sounded very similar....
Jeannette was a very good girl and got to sit on Santa's lap as well. (in case you haven't caught on, this is Tim's sister and her husband)
Our festivities began at Amanda's sister Kasie's house with highly talked about "Turducken" besides taking 6 1/2 hours to cook instead of the promised 4, it was a pretty good dinner. Although, we decided that we are not fans of the pink slimy duck, but it flavored the chicken and turkey very well and kept it very moist.
Ahh Christmas morning.... Tim has insisted that we store all presents until after bed and then they can be brought out, that was fun and Shyler was excited to see so many colorful boxes. She was also a great helper getting presents and taking them to people. She prefered presents in bags though because they were much easier to get in. She was super spoiled and got a lot of fun stuff! We are enjoying the bog box which was our family present of a keyboard... thank you for black Friday and half off!
All of the stockings were set in a row... I have enjoyed making everyones stockings and this year my mom got one added to the pile as well as our stand by stocking which got to be filled for my good friend Kat who came to visit as well!
Such a good helper!
By the time we made it to Grandma and Grandpa Miller's Shyler was a little exhausted from presents and got lots of help from everyone in the family.
A proud moment for Uncle Walter... He loves guns and loved showing Shyler how to shoot Calvins new little dart gun.
Other exciting events were bowling in Cheyenne with the Fournier's the day after Christmas and New Year's Eve with the Haynie's
Tim actually got a spare on this bowl! GO TIM!!! The first game was a little sad for most of us and then we were much better the second game. Shyler loved watching the balls come out and telling us which ball to use. Daddy was the orange one and Mommy always used the blue one!
We had such a fun time with the Haynies on New Year's Eve. Shyler loved playing with Madi and helping her walk. They even got to sleep in the same room while we stayed up to ring in the new year... that was good news for us that Shyler could sleep through Madi. And good news for Joe and Tiffany that Madi could sleep through Shyler when she woke up a little confused a couple hours later.
And finally here is my huge belly! I am looking forward to the next 4 weeks and the changes it will bring. We are trying to get things ready, not psyc ourselves out, and get Shyler ready and spend lots of quality time with her and each other. Here's to 2/2 (my induction date) or sooner and the expansion of our family with our little man! Who by the way is the biggest kicker ever! Sometimes I think he is trying to kick his way out of my belly!!!
