Christmas 2009

We had a great Christmas this year! The boys and I went to Idaho Falls for a week to spend some time with Jason, and then celebrated Christmas day at Jason's parents house. Jason's sisters and their families were there and Ridge was way overwhelmed. He was completely out of his comfort zone for the entire week, but especially on Christmas day (such a baby, I know!). Kyler and Max, on the other hand, had a blast. They played outside for hours, played with their new nerf guns, and video taped everything with their new cameras.

Thanksgiving

We had a great Thanksgiving this year. We had it at our house with my family....all 29 of us. Jason cleaned out the garage and we set tables and heaters up in it because our dining room is Barbie sized. Except for the minor flames shooting out of the oven (note to self - DO NOT broil the sweet potato casserole to speed the browning process), we had a great time. It is tradition to have a few minutes of "panic time" while preparing the meal, but we mostly skipped that this year. We did not take any pictures (much like the rest of our blogging friends), but we enjoyed being with our family and having a great meal.

Just a random pic.....

I smile everytime I see this!!

Ridge's 1 Year

Check out the link on the very bottom of this page! It's a book I made for Ridge.

Ridge's 1st Birthday Party

We had Ridge's birthday party today. Instead of goody bags, we sent everyone home with a plate of cupcakes.

He's a pretty clean eater and wanted us to wipe his hands everytime he took a bite. He made it through about 1/20 of the cake.

Happy Halloween!!

Happy Halloween from Einstein, a vampire, and the cutest ring tailed lemur ever!

Turns out, Ridge doesn't like "Where the Wild Things Are". I, on the other hand, thought the costumes were pretty amazing.

Happy 1st Birthday Ridge!!
