What a fun first Christmas we had as a family! We had a blast watching Penny “open” gifts and so many people got her a ton of great things!!
First off, we got a special visit from Santa before Christmas came – that was fun!
As soon as Santa sat down Raelynne was on his lap ready to talk!

Addi was quite unsure and Penny was too into her toys…

Ryan showed Santa his toy and told him what he wanted for Christmas

Penny gave him a once over and pulled his beard then got a present! Thank you Santa!!

Poor Addi, we are hoping Penny won’t feel the same way next year…


I tell ya, this girl loves to swing!

Ah, Christmas morning, the old family shot. I think I took about 5 and this ones the best out of the bunch…

Investigating/eating her first gift…

Then grandma and grandpa showed up to join in on the fun…


Penny loves to read stories with grandma…


Then off to the LeSage’s for more Christmas fun…

Learning to share…

Ray, are you having fun?

Grandma Carolee got this bear for Penny and she freakin loves it! Even today she was hugging it and squealing with joy!

My dad was having fun with the girls..

Happy Birthday to little OLD me!

During the week we had a visit from Uncle Josh and Aunt Nicole. Penny is checking out one of the outfits they got her…

On New Years Eve we left the kids with the grandparents and hit the town! We went to a great restaurant in Riverside called The Salted Pig.


Kelly takes amazing pictures after two drinks…


Looking forward to what 2012 has to offer!!
