Big fan of Christmas!

So Tylie totally loved her first Christmas! She got so spoiled and loved every minute of it! I think we counted around 25 presents just for her under the tree...it was a little ridiculous and got a little out of hand, but we had so much fun watching her face light up! We were so lucky this year to get to spend Christmas with both sides of our family! First we spent Christmas morning with the Oborns.


Christmas morning after Santa had come

Tylie, Christmas morning. I often wonder what is going through her head! This pic. it's got to be, "Is this for real, all for me?!"

Her first spin on her new ride
Checking everything out that she got in her stocking.


















Her second new ride that she got from Grammy and pop pop (don't ask why, my mom calls my dad pop pop...I know, it's weird! We're just hoping that it doesn't stick with Tylie!)


















After we had the traditional Christmas breakfast, opened presents, played with all of Tylie's new toys and had a fashion show of all her new clothes...we headed off to start our trip to see these guys! Welcome home mom and dad Bulkley! Shane's mom and dad just got finished serving a full time mission in Hartford, CT. We were beside ourselves to see them and were so excited to start our trip to UT for their homecoming.


We made our first stop on Christmas day/eve to visit Shane's sister (Jana) and family. Jana is 9 months prego, so was unable to come up for the homecoming:( It was sad because the whole family was going to be together except for her! We wanted to at least have all 15 cousins together, so with much convincing we were able to take their two girls Zoey and Olivia. I wish I took a pic of all 3 car seats in the back seat, but instead got this shot of Livi! Too cute! This girl LOVES lipstick and would ask to put some on every time she felt that well, maybe she just didn't have enough on! Which
I of course supported being a lipstick lover myself. Isn't she adorable!

















We headed the rest of the way the next day and had so much fun seeing everyone, especially mom and dad. We sure did miss them while they were gone, but are so proud of them and their sacrifices! Here is a shot with all 15 grand kids! This pic was taken when all of the kids were so tired from playing so hard and I'm pretty sure by this picture I could name a few that needed naps real bad!
So overall we had a really great Holiday weekend, full of what really matters in life...FAMILY!

Cute pics. I'm sorry about the lipstick addiction. I'm a little worried about her addictive tendancies actually. Thanks again for taking the girls. They had such a good time. And we loved seeing you guys, especially Tylie.

Tylie raked it in! Elle got diapers, formula and a couple of little toys....she is still fascinated with her fingers and toes! It was good to see you for a minute. I'm glad you came up and said hi because I didn't see you when we walked in.

It looks like you guys had a busy but fun Christmas. We'll for sure have to get together the next time we are in Cali!
