First Time Bowling

On our way up to Whitlocks cabin for New Years, we stoped at this retro bowling alley in Heber and took shaylee bowling for the first time, she loved it!

Christmas 2009

Christmas Morning: Shaylee was so excited to see what "Ho Ho" brought. My family came over to see Shaylee open all her presents, and have some of Ryans awesome dutch oven breakfast. It was really fun this year, shaylee finally "got it." Christmas Afternoon: We went to Ryan's side of the family for an great dinner, lot's of gifts, and dessert, we even had a visit from "Santa Samara".

Christmas Night: Shaylee got this little "diva set" from her great grandma Darlene, she has been a little diva ever since.

Santa Claus 2009

Shaylee loved Santa this year, although a bit timid, she still had the courage to ask for "candies". My Mom and Dad come with us every year (and usually Jason), and would kill us if we went without them. We always go to dinner after to make a "big night" of it.

Robbins Family Christmas Party

One of the best days of the year! We love getting together for some good food, bingo prize stealing, a santa stop and laughs - - wish the Robbins family Christmas party happen five times a year! Shaylee especially had fun dancing with Sierra to Josh's awesome guitar playing, and having a tea party with Maddy.

High School Friends Christmas Party

I was the host this year, we had a blast and reverted back to high school as usual. I hung up a wall of some of our old high school pictures, so fun to look back! I feel lucky to still have these friendships. (We are missing Donell in this picture, but you can see Kate holding her darling new baby boy Ryker)

Dicks Ladies Night

Every year Carolyn has all the daughters and daughter-in-laws up for her ward (women's) Christmas party, its the only time of year that just the girls get together. We always have a good time! (We always REALLY miss little Val, wish she would move home!)

O' Christmas Tree!

We decided that this was the year we converted back to the "real tree" for Shaylee, some of Ryan and my best childhood memories are "picking out the Christmas tree" and we want Shaylee to have the same sweet memories. She picked out a good one, and our house smells great!

Chloe and Maddy's Visit

We were lucky enough to have Chloe and Maddy over while their parents went to California for the weekend, these are Shaylee's VERY FAVORITE people...ever. We had so much fun with them and were very sad to see them go.
