Christams 2009

I have always loved Christmas time...the snow, the lights, the Christmas tree, all the decorating, being with family, feeling the spirit etc. Now with Mylee it even makes it ten times better. I think she was still a little to young to understand everything that is associated with Christmas, but it was fun to play with the nativity set with her and to teach her about the birth of Christ (which she loved to play with), taking her to the mall to show her Santa Clause, letting her help me try to wrap Christmas presents, and dancing around to Christmas music. Mylee is getting to such a fun stage and gets excited over the smallest things, it makes life so enjoyable.


I was so excited to put up our Christmas tree and decorations this year because i knew that Mylee would love to help me and she definitely did her favorite part was helping me decorate the tree, we had so much fun!

This year Santa brought Mylee a kitchen set and food and because there wasn't enough room to bring it home from vernal he delivered it a week before Christmas. Mylee had got sick the week before so he brought it that weekend to make her feel better. She loved it! As you can tell she has taken after me in the height department and so has to use mom's stool to reach the top of the kitchen set.



This year for the Pedersen Christmas party we went down to Kelli's house in Heber. We had a lot of fun we went bowling first Mylee didn't know quite what to think other than she loved all the bowling balls the frustrating part for her was they were to heavy for her pick up and also watching us through them down the lane because she didn't understand that they were coming back. After that we went back and ate, played games, and opened our presents. Last but not least at the end of the night Santa Clause came to visit all the kids. Mylee didn't know quite what to think she didn't like sitting on his lap but didn't mind standing by him, she would just stare at him. She was definitely aware of who he was because I had taken her to the mall to see him and talked to her about him. She calls him Clause and its so cute! Thanks for another fun Christmas party everyone!














This was on the morning of family pictures. We went a little early to get some of our own and of Mylee. What a little cutie!!




Christmas with the Merkley's...there is usually a party every night. We stay very busy and have lots of fun. This night we were at Lisa's. We had a nice dinner, played games, and sang songs which Mylee loved she decided to get on the coffee table and dance to all of our singing she thought she was pretty funny and was liking all the attention.







Alisha and Dave put together a really fun Amazing Race for the family we had all different clues, detours, and challenges that we had to accomplish it was quite the adventure and was alot of fun. To top it off...of course Jesse and I were the winners.



Christmas morning was alot of fun. Mylee really enjoyed it her favorite part was opening the gifts and instead of tearing right into them she very slowly tore the paper piece by piece off. She would get excited over the gift but then just wanted to open another one because she loved just opening them. Some of her favorite gifts that she got where her kitchen set, a baby set, shopping cart, and puzzles. Its really fun because she is starting to like to play pretend so all the things she got she has really liked. Jesse and I said that we weren't going to do anything this year but after him secretly finding out that I was getting him something he did the same. We had a really good Christmas the best part was just being around family and feeling the spirit of Christmas!
