Merry Christmas..Happy New Year..It's Cold.

Hope everyone had a very merry Christmas and a happy new year!!! Patrick and I celebrated in Kansas this year but  his entire family made the trip to the midwest and, although we did not celebrate actual Christmas together, his parents and brothers were able to spend a bit of time with us, see our house and most importantly see miss Mila!

We spent the actual holiday at my parent's house....eating, drinking and laughing at the cousins and their cuteness (Mila, Ruby, Tyson, Geneva & Winona) and getting in good sister time of course (Kylie almost didn't make it from Denver due to the snow storm)! Here are some pics from the craziness (in absolutely no particular order)!

 Snow Bunny!!

Patrick and I were SO excited to "be Santa" for the first time and Mila was less than impressed (see video below). Hehe she loves all of her new toys now ( and trust me, she really raked it in) I think it was just a little more anticlimactic than we expected. 

 Minnie Mouse was a hit!

 Spicy Mila kept stealing Tyson's toys (although they were the exact same as hers for the most part). Women.....

 Several trips to the grocery store to make lots of goodies!

 A keeper.

 Milkshakes at Grandma and Grandpa's!

 Cousins!

Jumping on the air mattress with cousins, Ava & Ethan! She ADORED them.
