I think Jyllian is enjoying herself, don't you??? We bought Jyllian a sled back in November but haven't had the snow yet for her to ride in it. Our first snowfall we took her out and she did not like it at all. So we tried it again after Christmas and she loved it! 
Here are some pictures from pictures. As you can see Jyllian really enjoyed getting the presents opened. To see other Christmas pictures check out the following website: http://www2.snapfish.com/thumbnailshare/AlbumID=149653563/a=28370100/t_=28370100
Jyllian loved Christmas this year! She really got into it and we can just imagine what next year will be like. This year she figured out Santa Claus. It was the cutest thing, we would ask her where Santa was and she would run to the window, look out and say "all gone!" She loved opening presents and enjoyed playing with her new toys. If she got clothes she would take them out and hold them up to her and say "wow!" or "Ooooooooh!"
We spent the holidays both with Justin's family and Kylea's family. We left for South Dakota on Thursday Dec. 21st to see Ann in Rapid City. We spent the night there and were able to see Ann and Vikki; Justin's Aunt Linda and Uncle Larry; Brad, Karyn and Kellan. It was great to see people and spend time with them. On Friday morning we headed to Ann's for breakfast and our Christmas with her. Jyllian enjoyed opening presents and seeing their dogs.
Friday afternoon we headed to Moorcroft Wyoming to spend some time with Justin's Dad and Linda. We first stopped by the mall in Rapid to do some last minute shopping and we stopped in Sundance to visit Adrianne. To our surprise Joe was home so we were able to see him too. We stayed for a few hours before heading to the ranch.
Santa came early on Christmas morning and treated us all wonderfully. When we woke up I went in to wake Jyllian and whispered in her ear, "Santa came." She was up in seconds and ran to the tree. We had to wait for Grammie and Uncle Shane to get their first but then we opened gifts. We all spent the day together, sledding, playing games, eating and enjoying being together. We had a wonderful dinner followed by dessert. At 7:30 we took Jyllian to her first movie at a Movie Theatre. Santa Claus 3 was playing at our local theatre so off we headed. It wasn't the greatest experience as Jyllian sat in the chair for maybe the first 10 mins of the movie and then she wasn't having any more of that. She was wanting to walk around and talk and laugh. So we spent a lot of the movie taking turns with her walking around or standing at the back watching it. All in all it was a success and we enjoyed the movie.
Before we knew it Christmas was over for yet another year...next year we can only imagine what Jyllian will be like at Christmas time.
For Thanksgiving this year we were blessed to spend it with both Kylea's family and Justin's family. Brad, Karyn, Kellan; Ed and Linda all came from Justin's family and then Diane, Shane and Diane's Dad (grampa) were there too. Jyllian and Kellan got to play together which was so cute to watch. At first Jyllian was very sweet to Kellan and let him play with all of her toys. She would gladly share anything with him. But towards the end of the first night she had had enough of being nice and began to take the toys back from him. Still it was cute. Kellan would just look at her like who do you think you are missie!
On Thanksgiving Day we went to Shane's new house to eat Thanksgiving dinner. It was yummy and a very nice day spent with family. We hope to be able to do this more often as it was so nice to have both families together. Here are some cute pictures taken through the weekend.
