Christmas 2009 - California and Utah

Christmas was fun, but exhausting this year! So much shopping and so much traveling! We went to Utah and California this year, so 4 days of our vacation was spent simply traveling. It was nice to see everyone, but felt I was rushed here and there. Next year we plan on staying home because not only are we exhausted from traveling every year for Christmas for the past 6 years, but we will have a new addition to our family and feel it would be much more work than it's worth..so in a sense I am kind of excited to expect a change for next year..and actually do our own thing and our own dinner!! On top of that...my bank card number was stolen online...no idea how that happened...and had to make a lot of phone calls to correct things. So this next year is going to have a lot of resolutions including how to shop safer online!! ;) Hope everyone's holidays were wonderful!




Looking mischievous behind the tree!



Delia helping decorate the Tree




Our Downstairs Anasazi tree. It's a real Pinion pine tree form the Colorado desert! We went to a friends house (he has A LOT of property in CO) chose one and Christian sawed it down himself. It was a pain to get in and out of downstairs and putting the lights on was a bit painful, but it sure looked cool!




Our finished upstairs tree!

Delia with Santa Claus. She was so excited to see him, but when it was actually her turn she didn't know what to think!

Delia stylishly sportin' her new softy pull over from the Gap that grandma gave her. She always insisted on putting her hands in the pockets, which made for a few stumbles here and there!

I don't know what is up with that face...(maybe she's disappointed that her pony unicorn, from aunt Alissa, is pink and not purple!) LOL..j/k Silly kiddo. she does really like it though!

Delia giving her baby loves which she got from Aunt Heather.

Delia cleaning away like a mad woman with her new play vacuum from Grandma and Grandpa Anderson...literally right after she opened it!!

At the Jelly Belly Factory for the second time. Her first time she was only 4 months old!

Going for one of her presents at Grandma and Grandpa Brereton's house in Utah

all dressed up in her new dress up stuff! she got 5 pairs of princess shoes. She is wearing her Belle ones and loves them!! Now she will have to abandon mommy's church shoes!

Reading her Tinker bell scratch and sniff book.

Taking pretty pictures with her new princess camera!

Delia with all her goods she got for Christmas! Wow! I always give her so many things! part of it is things I have held off getting until Christmas because I always think I need a "good excuse" to get her something...and this is the result! another thing I realized is missing is her Tinkerbell Table and chairs she got from Grandma and Grandpa Brereton. She got a lot of Tinkerbell things..but only on accident.

Delia with her 2 babies and piggy!!
