Month of December

Lots of fun stuff went down in December. First we start off with temple lights with our group of friends! 12/4/10 the girls







On our way to church, this is the smile we get when we ask her where her teeth are. I love it!






Lyla is such a tom boy, she loves playing in the dirt and getting dirty and she likes sucking on rocks!





12/11/10 we had our ugly christmas sweater party. It was sooo fun, we also had a white elephant gift exchange. The picture below shows first second and third place. First place goes to the guy in the middle, those outfits were awesome!

This is Lyla wearing dad's hat looking too cuteThis is Lyla in her Christmas outfit, but of course she just wants to run away and play and not stand still







This is all our christmas presents under the tree. That night we had our own little chirstmas. Its tradition that we make a nice dinner that we've never made before and open christmas presents and watch a christmas movie. That night we watched A Christmas Story. I always look forward to this night, its always so perfect!


Lyla see her horse for the first time. She loved it!





getting a toy car! she is such a tomboy!


driving it around making a car noise (which she tought that herself)

she loved opening her presents sooo much she had to hug it



now its troys turn to open his presents. I got him 2 shirts and a pair of shoes



He got me my fravorite movie! The Thorn Birds










Here is our yummy dinner.








We went to California for Christmas this year, this was on Christmas morning. Even though our parents gave us cash for christmas they still had a couple of things for us under the tree to open in the morning. This is Lyla opening up her doll



She wanted to suck on the dolls binky

That night we went to Kristens house and had some good food, played games and had so much fun! Here is Lyla and her cousin Macy in their matching pajamas from grandma We also watched Brian Regan (a comedian) and I have never seen my dad laugh so hard!!!

Here was the gang, we were missing a couple siblings :(


One of the days we went to Ryan and Taryns house in LA and spent the night. The kids have fun playing in the bath together as you can tell on Lyla's face. We went out to eat at Rock Sugar and wow is it pretty dang yummy! While we were there we saw Sherri Shepard from the view there. We always have a good time with Ryan and Taryn

Then on another night we went out with our friends Nicole and Jeff and Elisabeth and Tyler. I grew up with Nicole and Troy grew up with Elisabeth. We went out to PF Changs. We had such a fun time catching up.Dont we look hott?? We were having so much fun in the parking garage taking the ugliest pictures ever!
And the handsome guys

And here is the cutest picture ever! Lyla found mommy's make up!
