Christmas 2008

Well I don't even know where to start, so I'll just jump into to. We got back on Sunday from our almost 2 weeks vacation to Utah and Idaho. We had such a fun time, but we were definitely ready to come home. When we walked through our front door Lilly ran inside saying, "Nee Nee's house!" "Nee Nee's couch!" "Nee Nee's toys!" and on-and-on about everything in the house. She really missed being at home.

The airplane ride to Utah was flat out horrible. It will be a long time before I fly with Lilly again. She screamed for almost two hours. She was tired, it was late, and she just couldn't get comfortable in daddy's lap. It was not a fun 5 hours.

We stayed in Utah for the first few days of our vacation. Lilly loved playing with her long lost cousins, getting into the girls makeup, snuggling with "Ga Ga" and "Granna", watching the dog play in the snow out the window, waking up at 4 am every morning, singing karaoke, making food with Granna, playing the piano, singing songs all day long, and playing with her aunts. It was just a great time.

Lilly got into the girls mascara at least once a day

On Christmas Eve, the kids acted out the Nativity. Lilly was pretty tired but she managed to sit down for a minute so we could get some pictures. Then the kids opened their jammies.

Christmas morning Lilly loved opening all of her presents, and a few that weren't hers. Her very favorite gift was the big bag of gum from KA.
