Christmas 2011

Christmas Eve with cousins

 Making (or eating) gingerbread houses

 Christmas morning with Santa's loot. We opted to spend it with just the three of us and it was so nice!

 The train table has been the clear winner.

 Mia got a new bed.

And then the day after Christmas...Memaw and Papaw came. My mom overdoes it sometimes.

Thanksgiving 2011

We spent Thanksgiving in Florida with Craig's parents and 4 of his siblings and families. I can't believe there were this many kids and 2 families were missing! We also celebrated Christmas since it was the last time his parents would see the kids before Christmas.

The girls that were there (missing Angie and Allison!) Anne edited this picture beautifully but somehow I can only find a hard copy of it...so this is a picture of a picture because scanning it was way too much work.

The rest of the family opted for the beach while we headed to Gainesville to visit friends and go to the Gator game.

Thanksgiving dinner.

It was so fun to be with everyone for Thanksgiving, I wish we could all be together more often.!

Can't watch without a smile

Update in pictures.

 Riley baking (aka eating the batter)

 BYU vs. TCU

 Night before Halloween, they found the candy stash. These are Riley's cousins/besties Mason and Gavin

 Riley is obsessed with all things Cars, so this was the only costume I had a chance of getting on him.

 Pondering the weather.

 Zac Brown Band concert. BLAST!

I'm trying to decide if he should get a hair cut...

 Sometime summer 2011

 Turner Falls in Oklahoma. Summer 2011.

 Packing. August 2011.

 The new house.

 Riley hiding from a diaper change in my closet.

 Utah trip in August 2011. We wore him out.

 My bff from college, Annie, had just had her first baby! His name is Dallas and he is adorable!Unfortunately, we didn't get a pic with him :(

 Riley was excited about the airplane.

 Cameron finally got our TV hung! It only took Cameron (mostly), Craig and Shaun a week to get it up.

 Watching his new TV.

 BYU vs. Texas

 Me and Anne, my sis in law here in Dallas.

 Napping in the shopping cart. I couldn't get him to wake up, which never happens so I just went with it.

 Lazy morning in bed with Dada

 This kid LOVES apples.

 My good friend growing up, Heather, and her family came to visit from Houston when her hubby had a conference here. She has a 3 year old and 1 year old twins who were sooo good the whole time. Every time Alexis got out of her princess stroller Riley climbed in. Again no pictures of all the kids together.

 Mason and Riley love to plain trains at Barnes and Noble.

 Riley and Gavins relationship has had it's ups and downs. They are 4 months apart. This happened to be a good day for them!

 Costoc samples.

 Our little climber.

Loves his Mia cat.

I'm pretty sure there is a gap in Riley's childhood on my blog and our lives in general, but at least this is something!
