This is Ethan on Christmas morning. He just layed there and talked the whole time Rylee was opening presents. She opened all of hers, Ethan's, and help Tom and I open ours. It was a fun morning and an even better day. We spent our morning at Tom's parents house. Tom's mom had made a wonderful breakfast and then we hung out until it was time to go home so that we could spend the evening with my family.


Here is Ethan trying to wake up for the day. Isn't he cute?!!!


Rylee playing in the snow at Grandma's house. She absolutely loves playing in it. Apparently, when I am at work, all she and Tom do is play in the snow or watch her turtle. Tom said that she come up to him the other day and started saying snow. He told her that she had to have her snow suit on so that she could go out and play. He said that she looked all over for it and finally come up to him, pulled on her jammies and said "snow suit". Tom laughed and told her that her jammies would not work as a snow suit and helped her find and get into it. She is so funny. Today, Sat the 27th, she put on her gloves, all she had on was a diaper, handed Tom his gloves and headed for the door. Thankfully, we told her that we were going to Grandma's house to play in the snow so she let us get her dressed.
Tom called me at work on the 22nd and told me that he had found a turtle for Rylee on KSL. It only cost $10 and come with the tank and everything. So I got the number and called the girl selling her. I asked her if I could buy the turtle from her and pick it up that night. We took Rylee with us. She was so excited!! All we hear about now is her turtle. She totally loves her turtle. It is great. Her name is Cruze. She is a Cooter turtle and we think she will get about 12 inches big.

Oh, her sippy cup got all covered with snow. She is so funny. Loves her sippy cups.

Rylee totally loves the snow. Her little hands got too cold and that is why she is crying. We found her gloves and put them on her and she was all sorts of happy. Tom said that she cried to go back out and play in the snow when he brought her into the house. He said that she was kicking and screaming when he dragged her in, but then he gave her some hot chocolate to warm her up and she was happy again. Apparently she really likes hot chocolate.

Me and my sweet, sweet little boy.
Rylee was all for holding Ethan and having her picture taken with him. She also got a sucker and I think that helped!
