Holiday Fun

Amelia turned 9 months old

The tail end of Amelia's cheesy grin. She does it all the time. Its hilarious. AND you can see her two bottom teeth.

We had some INSANE weather. A full week of nonstop rain which caused some flooding and then snow. Never thought I would see white stuff living here.

Amelia loves playing with her little car/walker toy. This pic is especially for grandma and papa willy.

Met up with my best friend Joanna and her family and took the kids to the planetarium. It was beyond AWESOME to see her.

For the Evans family: THE PURPLE BIRD IS BACK! (yes this is the original- consider the game BACK ON!) for everyone else, this fantastic tacky creature is a family christmas tradition, and it given to the unsuspecting recipient trojan horse style. I received it this year after many years of it being lost, it was in a christmas platter box. I should have known better. Who gives someone a christmas platter on christmas?!

Amelia LOVED climbing over the mountain of wrapping paper and boxes.

Nathan helped Amelia open her presents, she did a pretty good job unwrapping.

We took luminaries to my mothers grave christmas eve. It was the first year we have done it and apparently it is quite the christmas eve tradition. The cemetery looked beautiful with the snow and luminaries everywhere. There were tons of families there singing carols too.

Amelia in her christmas pj's. She was pretty excited to open a present.

Amelia even learned to ride a bike. We start them young in this family. (Actually this bike was a present for a little girl in my grandparents ward, Amelia made sure it was in good working order)
