Christmas 2008 and more

Rylee was really sick the week leading up to Christmas, running a fever of over 101 for 4 days with it reaching 102.9 one day. I wasn't even sure if we were going to get to go to my parents but my mom threatened to drag me there so we went ahead. (After filling her prescription that was $87 even after insurance- but that's another story.) She didn't feel the greatest but we really enjoyed spending time with family anyway. Here are some pictures from the past few weeks. They aren't in order but I'm too lazy to switch them. Hope everyone has a very blessed 2009.

Christmas morning at my parents' house right after she got up. She still looks so sleepy in this picture!

Loving on my niece Macy on Christmas Eve. Macy was the one reason I was sad to be going to college- she was 4 1/2 at the time and I had seen her pretty much every day of her life until then.

Peyton in the snowman onesie I made her (with some help from a friend- thanks M!) You can't see it really well. Rylee has one too but I haven't gotten a good picture of it so I'll post it when I do.

Nana and Gingy got Ry a slide/tower thing and she and Aunt Sandy had lots of fun in the empty box.

I can't turn my back for one second anymore! Actually my mom was there and I thought she was watching her and I think she thought I was watching her and then I heard my mom dying laughing. She had found the scented trash bags in her changing table had lots of fun dragging them all over the place.

This was going to be the Christmas card picture if I had gotten around to sending them. She would not smile at all that day but I thought I could do the "better not pout" thing but just didn't fit it into my schedule.

Christmas day wore her out so she laid down by Uncle David to rest.

Playing on her slide- It has by far been the most used gift!

Glad to be back home so she can play with all of her new toys!

This was from a couple of weeks ago. We were trying to cook dinner at Sandy's and Rylee was wanting attention so distraction technique- spray Cool Whip on the highchair tray!

Rylee's new favorite past time. Loving on Peyton. Everytime she sees her she literally dives to love on her!
