Trip Home

We went to Cali at the beginning of January to make up for our lost trip at thanksgiving. We visited friends and family. Played apples to apples drove alot from one place to another and managed not to take too many pictures :( We had fun at the San Diego zoo, and at Disneyland and mostly just hanging out at home with family and friends.

We loved the polar bear home at the San Diego zoo!

  Disneyland was so much fun this time with Shelby she LOVED it. It took her awhile to warm up to the the characters, however by the end of the day she was running up to them giving them hugs (To the point where she was cutting in line! OOPS) She did fall asleep on the Pirates.... but loved all the other rides. She stayed awake all day even for the parade at the end of the night.

She also had fun hanging out with all of her boys that are "friends". However there were too many kisses and playing footies for Heath! Oh boy we are in trouble with this little girl :)

Christmas Morning

Everyone was awake except for one.....

Stockings First

 Presents from Santa....

 "baby"

 "I have more presents to open.... I don't need anything else"

 To remind Heath to turn off his new ipad and come to bed...

 Off to Church

Merry Christmas : )

Christmas Eve

Shelby's favorite part of Christmas Eve was playing with her cousin Kam and her Uncle Kyle. Shelby loves Uncle Kyle. They played hide and seek for at least 45mins and the two of them ran back and forth from the same two spots behind the couch and under the kitchen table waiting for Kyle to find them.

Shelby also had fun playing with her other cousins on Christmas Eve

And making Christmas Cookies with Grandma Kay

Soon it was time for bed

Tubing

Christmas Eve Morning we went tubing with Heath's Family. It was a great time. There was a lot of snow and although it was really cold when we first arrived the sun was out and later in the day it became the perfect day to go. Except Shelby did not like it too much. Maybe it was the cold, or maybe it was her clothes. She was like the child in the Christmas story all wrapped up and could not move on her own. She did however enjoy sitting in the car a drinking hot coco.

 the snow was deep!!!

 "Daddy hold on to me!!!"

 "Are we done yet?"

"Now this is the life"

Christmas Cookies

We had a blast making cookies with Shelby! She did such a great job.... and she is growing up so fast! She is 18 months and already wants to do everything herself. We had to fill the jar of sprinkles back up after every cookie, I think she had more fun dumping and pouring the sprinkles out of the jar! Like her father she also loved eating the m&m's rather than use them to decorate. When all was done she even gave dad bites of her cookies... after she ate the m&m's of course.
