A fabulous Christmas a little late.

Christmas was again fabulous this year. We had three Christmas's which may seem like a pain but I say why not spread Christmas out to last as long as possible. Our first Christmas was in our little apartment in Wisconsin the day before we left for Utah.
Kate was the first up of course. (Kate is not a good sleeper and it up way to much.) She got to the presents first and was eating the bows by the time Lilly finally woke.

Lilly and Kate are becoming such good little friends. Lilly was sure to show Kate how everything worked on her activity table and Kate just loves when Lilly is around.
Next it was off to Utah. We spent the first part of our trip with Ryan's parents. Lilly loved hanging out playing play doh and make gingerbread houses.

Christmas number 2 came at Grandma Patty's and Grandpa Richard's house. I was surprised at how excited Kate was about opening her presents. Even though it was her first Christmas she was totally into it. Of course she loved eating the wrapping paper the most. Lilly was thrilled to get more stuff to go in her doll house.
Our 3 rd and final Christmas was at my parents house. What a magical Christmas it all was. It is so much more fun to see Christmas through the eyes of my girls.

Lilly was so happy to finally have her tea set she had been asking for. Papa was a good sport to play tea party with her. I think he really like it!

Well our trip was very busy running here and there trying to see all our friends and family. Ryan and I both love to be on the go. Utah was great this year. It was warm some days and we had the most beautiful snow other days. I was glad Ryan got a chance to go skiing and ice fishing. I got to do a small bit of shopping with my mom and got to see my family. Well here is to a fabulous 2010!

Hello,

I apologize that we were not able to meet up during the break. We had plans to meet with all of our friends but ended up having difficulty managing time between just our families. I hope that you had a fun trip. I am surprised at how quickly your girls are growing. I hope Ryan is enjoying school. All is well out here in Halifax. Please send me Ryan's # again so I can call and catch up with you.
Thanks,
Taylor.

What a fun Christmas! I seriously think that Christmas is so much funner with kids! It's amazing how magical it all becomes again. You're girls are darling. You can tell Lilly is such a good big sis!

Classic, I love the tea party with Grandpa and the picture of Ryan & Katers. What fun pictures you got! I didn't get very many Christmas pictures this year so I'm glad you did.
