Sugar Bowl Champions

GO UTES!
10th Row - Yeah Buddy!
Pre-game photos ... Quinn & Riley
Mom & Dad
Almost made it all the way through the game ... what a good sport! Okay, so just so y'all know - Zaida LOVES football. People kept asking us who was going to take the baby out when/if she started to fuss during the game. Besides the obvious answer (the BYU fan) - the only thing we can say is she LOVES football. And true to our word, she didn't have to go out ONCE. Seriously, I have an amazing daughter. She also picked up a few new things on the trip - giving high-fives & bumping knuckles!
What an amazing game! We had so much fun. I'm so glad we could do this as a family. I have the bst family a girl could ask for. Thanks for being my bestest friends! I love you guys!

Christmas

Let me at 'em!
Christmas began with our traditional goo breakfast. I'm so glad Mom & Dad could make it out to our place - unfortunately Quinn got snowed in at his new home in Park City. He really missed him. Of course, we wanted him to be safe - so we are glad he didn't try to risk the drive. But, he was sorely missed! After breakfast (which lasted too long for Zaida's liking) I opened the gate and she ran into the room with all her gifts.
The funny thing is this book was in her stocking. She sat down and read her book before opening any of her gifts! Glad she liked the book - but there were LOADS of gifts just waiting to be unwrapped. She's so cute!

The above picture makes me sing "All I want for Christmas is you". This is after all of the gift giving was over. She sat down on a large piece of paper & wrapped herself up in it. This was more entertainment than a lot of her presents, actually.

Time to clean up! Zaida loves the vacuum - big or little, she loves them all! Lately she will "help" me clean up by vacuuming under the dining table or the bench. She is such a good little helper.
