I figure it's about time to give a report on our great Christmas this year. It was our first Christmas as a family of four and we had lots of fun celebrating it with our family and friends.
We enjoyed a wonderful Christmas party with Ryan's family a couple weeks before Christmas. We did our annual gift exchange, ate fabulous food, and swam in the indoor pool at the hotel. Adelyn thought it was quite a treat to swim in the middle of December. In this picture, Adelyn was playing with the bubbles she got from her grandparents. She was so content to play with the toys decorating her gift that she almost forgot to open her big gift--a pink instrument set, which she absolutely loves.
Ryan got an awesome tool set from Brandon and Andria. Boy, was he excited! I think Brandon has gotten tired of Ryan always borrowing his tools. :)
We had the opportunity of taking Adelyn on the Heber Valley Railroad "Polar Express" adventure this year. It was REALLY fun for the first half hour. Unfortuantely, after that Adelyn started throwing up and was miserable the whole rest of the ride (stomach flu). We were stuck on the train for another hour trying to contain the mess and comfort her. Adelyn didn't even want to look at Santa when he came to our cabin, and the next day she said, "Mommy, I don't even like Santa Claus." She does, however, enjoy playing with the bell Santa gave her and remembers that she got it on the train ride. But I'm afraid she may be a little wary of trains for awhile.
This picture was taken while Adelyn was still feeling good. She and her cousins thought it was so fun that they could all fit together on two seats without any parents sitting next to them.
Adelyn actually opened her gifts from "Santa" on the evening of Christmas Day. We spent Christmas Eve with my family in Salt Lake and slept over that night because of the snow storm, then went to Ryan's parents' house Christmas morning and spent most of the day there. Adelyn got up from her
nap and opened her gifts (not quite as exciting, but Addie still enjoyed it). Every time we asked Adelyn what she wanted for Christmas, she just said "Dora," so we got her Dora's Game House and a set of Dora books. She LOVES them!
It looks like Addie got what she wanted!
Preston was happy to open his first Christmas gifts. Of course, he needed a little help.
Ryan finally wrapped the gifts he got me right before I opened them. I'm a rather difficult person to buy for, but he did a good job and gave me some nice surprises: a hat, gloves, and scarf to match my new coat.
Preston showed his acceptance of the new high chair he got from Grandma and Grandpa Rocque by eating
the straps the first time we put him in it. Little does know that we will actually feed him
real food in it soon.

That is too bad that addie got sick on the train ride. I am glad you had a great Christmas!
What a fun Christmas! Isn't Justice a store for little girls? Just checking. Preston is getting bigger by the minute. He looks cute in his high chair.
