Christmas

I know it has been awhile, but things have been busy with Christmas! Here are some cute pictures of Christmas Eve. We had Jimmy's parents and sister and my grandma and two cousins, Lauron and Angel, over for dinner. I should have taken more pictures, but I was too busy making dinner.

Here is Sydney with her Grandma and Grandpa reading her books from Aunt Darlene.

Sydney and Aunt Darlene reading. Sydney loved the books!

On to Christmas morning......

Here is Sydney Christmas morning. She wasn't too thrilled with posing for a picture.

Here is Sydney with her stocking and present from Santa. By the way, in case anyone is ever thinking of buying this Elmo laptop, DON'T. Not only is it super annoying, which I could deal with, I suppose, but it is just crappy. It is top heavy, so it topples over all the time, and the changeable cards that you slip into the screen area don't work very well. You change the cards and it will ask you questions about what is on them, but you have to wait like an hour before it will read a new card. Unfortunately, I read the bad reviews from parents, AFTER I discovered all these problems. Oh well. Sydney likes it. And she doesn't know what the questions are saying anyway.....




This picture was taken after Christmas, but Ally is reading Sydney the book that Tyler picked out for Syd all by himself. Apparently he was looking for a bear book but he couldn't find one. He picked this one out because it had an elephant that Sydney would like. He was right. She does like it. She also loves the toy semi-truck and 4-wheeler he picked out for her!

That's all the pictures I took of Christmas. I need to raid other people's cameras and see if they have some more pictures of Christmas. I just didn't take enough because I was too caught up in everything!

Christmas Girls

Grandma Linda bought these cute dresses for these cute girls. They look so adorable in their Christmas finery!

Santa Train

We took a fun (and quick!) little trip on the Nevada Southern Railroad for the Santa Train. Sydney loved looking at the window and it was another chance to get a picture of Sydney and Santa. At least this time, she was mostly facing the camera.

Ward Christmas Party

This was the best picture I got of Sydney with Santa. She was totally distracted by him. I even tried to take her picture again with Aubrey, but nope, I got the same shot!

Check this out....

For those of you who read my blog, but don't read my sister-in-law, Susan's, check out my cute kid here on Susan's blog. Sydney is so funny.

Christmas Syd

Here is Sydney in her adorable Christmas dress that her Grandma Linda bought her. Merry Christmas everyone!

Sydney at the Parade

We went to the Christmas parade tonight. Even though it was cold, Sydney had a great time. She loved all the floats and especially loved waving at everyone! And even though Jimmy was mocking the parade before it started, he even had a great time!

Sydney stayed warm in her hat, long-sleeve shirt, short-sleeve shirt, jacket (although she isn't wearing it in this picture), blanket and the cutest little white mittens!
Although this picture doesn't do it justice, here is a beautifully decorated house. We were sitting across from it during the parade. My mom calls it "The Disneyland House" because it is just so pretty that it reminds her of our favorite place. It was fun because they had all kinds of Christmas music playing and Sydney loved dancing to it.

Here are the cutest parade cheer-ers! Maddie, Julie and Ally cheered in the parade with their cool light-up pom-poms!
