Merry Christmas!

We hope everyone had a very Merry Christmas, as well as a good December. We had lots of fun and I can't believe it's already over.

We had a Gingerbread House party on December 5th with the Stevenson's. It was lots of fun. Anisten helped a whole lot by eating all the candy in sight. Not that I can blame her. It's pretty hard when you're making a candy house to not taste it.

The next day (December 6th) we went to Anisten's cousin Dallin's baptism in Lehi and then went to the lights at temple square that night. She didn't get a nap all day, so by the time we got to the light seeing....she was not a happy girl (as you can see in the pictures). It was a long day and she didn't last long at this point.

Here is Anisten playing in her kitchen in her new Christmas dress. A friend in the ward made it for her and two other girls in the ward, so they all matched and were soo cute. The great thing is that it's reversible, so she has a dress for Valentine's day too!

Opening presents on Christmas Eve at Grandma Rollins (it looks like she's giving the present CPR or something..?)

A lovely picture of Rob and I on Christmas Eve (the coloring is really strange). Anisten wouldn't let got of her presents long enough for a picture.

Good morning Anisten! Merry Christmas!

Christmas morning. She didn't care much about her unopened presents. She still wanted to play with the ones she got the night before...even while eating breakfast (Life cereal-her favorite)!

She finally got around to opening her other presents. Here she is playing with her cash register. She really liked this one.

Playing with the Band in a Drum. Thanks Grandma Rollins! She sure does love to make noise.

Already figuring out new ways to play with her toys. Here she is being creative with her grocery cart.

Opening a present from Grandma/Grandpa Stevenson on Christmas. More puzzles! Yay!Another nice thing about the holidays for me is that my friends who moved out of state come home to visit. We love to get together even if it's just for lunch (or breakfast like it was here). Thanks for taking time out of your busy schedules to see me guys. I love you and miss you!

Well, as you can see, Anisten got all kinds of great stuff for Christmas and so did we. We had a very blessed holiday and it is always sad when it's over. But, we have all kinds of things to look forward to in the next year. Happy New Year everyone!
