Happy 1st Birthday

I honestly can't believe it has been 1 year already. I say it all the time but my kids really are growing so fast. I love all the things they teach me and all the experiences that come with being a mother. Happy 1st birthday baby boy!
I was so excited to give Ridge these balloons for his birthday but little did I know they would be so traumatizing. He was absolutely petrified of them and didn't want to be anywhere near them. Oh well, maybe next year!

The fam on Christmas morning. You gotta love Justin's Grinch jammies!
The kids acted out the Nativity and it was pretty cute. It was quite a challenge getting all the kids to want to participate. Max was fine as long as he didn't have to dress up and if he could hold his toy airplane. Colter was good as gold as soon as he was able to choose his own costume (which was an old Chinese robe laying in the basement) and hold the sword that Grandma made him. Wise men have swords right? Kasey was pretty sure that he was a ninja instead of a Shepherd. Kenli was perfectly fine as long as she felt like everyone was watching her. It was so fun to see each of their own little personalities shine.

Darin and Janey came home for Christmas and as you can tell Kenli has missed her best buddy Colter. She spent the first hour with her arms clenched around Colter, kissing him. It's a good thing Colter was a good sport about all the kissing.
Kenli at the Miller Christmas Party. She was so in to Santa this year which made it really fun. She was so excited to see him and took a little moment to sing him "Mary had a little lamb!" I'm sure Santa was incredibly impressed.
Ok so I know my posts are way late but I have a lot to catch up on. This was at the Santaquin light parade. It was so cold and we were all crammed in the little car but we had fun anyway.


I love this baby boy so much! It amazes me how much they learn everyday at this stage. He is so funny and is getting quite a little attitude.
