Ashlyn's Birthday Party



She got another baby- she loves her babies!

When I took this picture she was trying to get her baby on her lap
facing the camera and telling her to say, "Cheese!"



She had a Minnie-themed birthday.
It wasn't really a theme- only the invitations, cake, and banner, but oh well!


She had to have Grandpa help her open her presents- on Christmas too!













She ate her whole piece of cake!

Somehow the frosting got on Rylee's forehead!






Bradley got a Nintendo DSI for Christmas and was taking pictures of him and Rylee.
They thought that was so fun!

Ashlyn loves her Uncle Stephan.

Bradley is taking a picture of all of them.
He said give me your head and show that you love each other!

Happy Birthday, Ashlyn!

Ashlyn is two today! I can't believe it! We had to celebrate yesterday because Matt has to be in Boise for physical therapy for the next few weeks. He had to drive down last night so we had a little party before he left. Here are just a few pictures. There are many more (if you can believe it!) but I will go through them later.

We love you, Ashlyn!

Museum

We went to the museum today with my parents. It's their free Christmas exhibit. I've gone with my class for a few years, but we weren't able to go this year. But I thought the girls might like seeing the gingerbread houses, nativities, and Santa Claus decorations. Boy, was I right. They loved it!

Rylee is obsessed with gingerbread anything right now so she was very excited to see all the houses and even a rocket!





Ashlyn loves Santa- as long as she doesn't have to get too close or sit on his lap!






Cuddling with Grandpa

This was at the Discovery Room at the museum.
There is so much to see and do there- they would have liked to stay all day!

Ashlyn could do puzzles all day-
and she's very good at putting them together.

Rylee was in the tepee by herself for a while and came out wearing this mountain man outfit. She was so excited to show us- she thought it was pretty funny!


Ashlyn loved playing in the log cabin setting the table and holding the baby doll.


We thought Rylee would love to see the stuffed animals, but she was scared to death!!

This is her trying to run away out of that place!
The poor girl will probably have nightmares now!


As we were leaving Rylee said, "Could I please get one more picture by this?" It is very rare that she asks to get her picture taken! But she really liked this nativity.

Santa Claus' mailbox

I wish it had been snowing instead of raining.
Rain is just not very Christmasy!
