Update!

I finally updated our blog. It's been 5 months. I hope you enjoy what's been going on in our lives.

Christmas Eve and morning

I like to get lots of pictures around Christmas time. The girls are in front of the tree in our front room in our new jammies.

Santa came on Christmas morning. Look at all that stuff!

The girls couldn't wait to see if Santa came.















Kirah's favorite present was her IPod. She loves it!!!















Katelyn loves her IPod too!




















All of our Christmas presents!






























Rob's Christmas!

Christmas

More Christmas activities. Dave came over to celebrate Rob's birthday.

Kymbree loves her Kai-Lan doll from Deyton.

The girls in their new jammies.

On Christmas Eve we go to Rob's work and the girls see Santa flying across the radar and they get to call his sleigh and talk to him. It is so much fun. This year Deyton and Trevor got to come with us.

Deyton was alittle shy.

Trevor went with us to Temple Square to see the lights while he was in town from Florida for the holidays.

Doesn't the temple look beautiful at night with the Christmas lights on?

Our little family.

Sledding at the elementary. It was so much fun. Kymbree didn't last long though. She couldn't put her arms down with her coat on.

Deyton said "Group hug!!"

All of the cousins except Kaden and Jayden with their Christmas presents from eachother.

Christmas Time at the Ryans

December was a full and busy month. We celebrated Rob's birthday and our friend and family Christmas party the same night. It was a lot of fun. Rob's cake was ablaze as we celebrated his 32nd birthday. He looks great for his age and I'm so happy that we could celebrate with great company.

Our really good friends Dave and Cassie and Shane and Emily.

Has Shari been naughty or nice? Sorry Shari!!

Hmmm...what do you think?

Festival of Trees

Kirah's dance company performed at Festival of Trees this year. She had only been in her new class for a couple of weeks and she did a great job. That is her in the back all lit up by the spotlight. She had alot of fun. She can't wait for competition. She had alot of support that night. Grandma Debbie, Uncle Trevor and Uncle Chad, Uncle Mike and Kaylee and Jocee, Danielle, her best friend Cambree and Carrie and Mom, Dad, Katelyn and Kymbree all came to watch her. It was a hard day because my favorite Grandma Juddy passed away and we had her funeral that morning. But watching Kirah made it a great end to the day.

Practicing before going on.

Warming up. Who looks that cute warming up?

Kirah and Katelyn standing in front of the tree we donated in memory of my brother Trent. Kirah tied the quilt for the tree all by herself. She did so good! We donated 4 trees this year.

Snowy Day

Katelyn wanted to play in the snow while Rob cleared the walks and Kymbree played with Katelyn through the door since she couldn't go out.

Reflections

Kirah entered Reflections in the catagory of Photography. We went up the canyon and this is the picture she took. Her reward was a certificate and a cup that she can draw and color on. I'm so proud of her. She did a great job!
