Reunion

I couldn't believe how cold it was- I mean it wasn't freezing, but it wasn't the Arizona weather that I had hoped for! We still had some fun times at the park though, just bundled up! Gavin was introduced to graham crackers (thank you Grandma)! And no red spots, hopefully that was just a stage that he has grown out of!

Atkin Family Reunion

We ALL got together in Arizona! So much fun! I was excited for Rielly to see her cousins, but honestly I think she was just happy to be with Grandma (she has all the candy)! She had fun with her cousins too! Lots of games, food and family- what else is there?

Christmas with Family

Tessa got pretty dress-up dresses for Christmas so her and Rielly had to play in them! They are so cute together! They had their own table for Christmas dinner too- spoiled or what?

Christmas morning

We were blessed to have someone leave presents on our doorstep a couple weeks before Christmas. Seeing the presents everyday got Rielly really excited to open them! But then when Christmas morning came and there was candy in the stocking- all of sudden the presents weren't the most interesting thing! She is her Father's child- nothing wins them over like Chocolate!

Santa?

We went to our ward party where Rielly and Gavin got to sit on Santa's lap. Rielly loves pictures and movies of Santa, but up close she wasn't so sure, in fact she screamed when Chris put her on his lap! But after I got a picture he gave her a candy cane and then she was back to liking Santa. We just had a little tree this year, but that is ok because even that we barely had enough room for!

Rielly's Bday

Ok so I have been really bad about keeping this updated- Rielly's bday was at the beginning of september and i am just posting these! Oh well, that is life! We celebrated her bday like three different times for various reasons- lucky girl! We went to the zoo and made a chocolate cake, got a balloon, and went "driving" at the mall. Rielly tries to get into the driver seat everytime we go to the car now because she wants to drive! What a sweet little 2 year old! Potty trained, sleeping in a big bed, and now she is just all grown up i guess!
