While we were at my parents for Christmas Rylin spend some time cuddling with her Gampa. When she sees pictures of him she will tell me "I love my Gampa." She is such a sweetheart!
I think someone is going to having him tied around her little finger....
I love that she is not shy of any of our family and even if we don't see them for a couple months (does that even happen?) she picks up where she left off.
I think Grandpa enjoyed the cuddles as well. : )
The other day I walk into the bathroom to find this. She means comfort when she is taking a bathroom break lol.
I think she thought that I was a little nuts snapping pictures while she was on the potty but I had to capture this so I can show her how adorably cute she is when she gets older. I love her and her big personality so much!
How can you resist their cuteness when they are sleeping. No more screaming, fighting with siblings just quiet. The stress of the day melts away while sitting there looking at them slumber.
Rylin is a crazy sleeper in the positions she chooses. lol
One tired little girl after a long day of being a 2 year old. I love it when they sleep with their bum in the air!
At my parents house they have a vent from the master bedroom to the living room. We were watching tv and saw this! lol
Rylin had to get in on the fun as well...
Not long after Adrienne ran in to see the view. These kids crack me up! They will find fun in anything!
Are these outfits not adorable?! Aunt Emily made all of the girls in the family one and they love them! We got lots of great gifts but I have to say my favorite are made from the heart and with the hands. Here are some of the beautiful and loved gifts we got this year!
Lane with the wreath he made us for Christmas.
The wall hanging my mom made me!
The mitten ornaments Addie made her whole class all on her own. She filled them with candy before handing them out!
Rylin wearing the adorable outfit her Aunt Emily made her holding the lamb Aunt Julie made her!
Is this not adorable! Julie is a "new" knitter if you can believe it by looking at this cute little thing. Rylin loves it and so do I!
Another one of Adrienne's mitten that she handed out at school.
The outfits I made Rylin and my Niece Claire for Christmas!
The wall hanging I made my parents for Christmas!
The scarf and hat set I made myself!
Rylin's hat and scarf set...

Adrienne wearing the oufit Aunt Emily made her for Christmas!
There is nothing better on Christmas morning to walk out and find a tree overflowing with gifts.
Stocking first!!
Lane and Rylin liked the candy best I think lol.
Adrienne got stuff for her tack and white board including ribbon to dress it up a bit.
Check out Rylin's hair in this picture!! That is her normal morning do these days. Thank goodness Santa brought her hair things to tame that wild mane!
Digging into the real gifts!
Note Adrienne in the back wearing the hat and scarf I made her : D We did several homemade gifts including scarf and hat sets for each of the kids. They really liked them!
Lane is my jammie obsessed boy. When he comes home from school he always wants to put his jammies back on so I got him 2 cute plaid sets with matching socks. He was in heaven lol.
I still don't know who likes this gift better....or the play dough or legos for that matter. : )
One of the many gifts Adrienne was super excited for was her stuff to get her ears pierced! She has been asking for years to get it done and I finally gave her the ok. lol
And after, she did really well! She sang Hannah Montana while I was doing it to keep her mind off of things.
Rylin made quick work of the candy in her stocking. Can you see her mouth totally full!
Lane with his bath set. Each child got one and it included a knit fish for the tub, soap made by me, tub tints, loofa, bubble bath, and a egg that "hatches" in the tub. (Which Lane was terrified of lol)
There is nothing worse than having the flu during the holidays but don't they look so cute all ready for bed with extra bedding, towels and barf buckets. The flu ended up hitting almost everyone that attended family Christmas. : (
Luckily it was short lived and by the next day they were good as new!
