Christmas in Spokane

Yay for toy stores in airports!  And funny faces =)

Nelli did great on the flight there and back.

Grandpa's toy train

We went on a Christmas light show cruise in Coeur d'Alene, Idaho

Gotta love Thayne's double chin and that smile is too cute!

Nelli loves Uncle Tyler and Aunt Ali.  Every time I'd put her down she'd go running to one of them.

Bath time in Grandma's baby sized sink...perfect!

Siri's amazing dinner

Nelli loved to give Thayne hugs and kisses

Daddies and breakfast

We had such a great time in Spokane being with family.  It is a vacation we will never forget.  Siri, Chris, Ali, Tyler, and Thayne were there when we arrived on the 24th and we just loved it.  We played fun games, did a puzzle, visited Coeur d'Alene a few times: once for a light show and once to go swimming.  Over all it was great to relax together.

Christmas Party at Park Forest

We won this ice cream maker!

We had a great time at the party Park Forest Apartments staff put together for us.  We got to spend time with the people that live in our comunity and enjoy the festivities of the season.  Nelli liked Frosty the Snowman and hustle and bustle of so many people.  Taylor has wanted to go on a carriage ride for as long as I've known him and we got the chance. The party was past the time Nelli usually goes to bed, but we decided to keep her up and she had fun, but now that I look at all the pictures she looks sleepy. 

Nelli and Marlee-Best Buds

I'm going to just stick all the pictures from that night at Marlee's house while Taylor and I went out and the Cheney's watched Nelli. These pictures demonstrate so well their relationship. Best night ever for the babies!

Meghann, Marlee's mommy, told me that lately that when she tells her that Nelli's coming over, she starts saying, "Ne, Ne" and get so excited. Nelli just goes straight for the door if I tell her Marlee's coming.

They've both been sick for the past few weeks.  I can't wait until they start playing like this again!
