Christmas.

our Christmas was different then any other we've had....

on Christmas eve, we played Yahtzee for hours, and had dinner with my family :)

(because i know my family reads this, you board game party poopers! you know who you are!)

as soon as river went to sleep we had Santa come....

BUT....just when we thought we could go to sleep river woke up at 2 in the morning....

so we opened presents as a little family :)

 river opened her chipmunks first, none of her other presents mattered at all :( they are her new loves she doesn't let them out of her sight.

we had banana buttermilk pancakes with strawberry's and whip cream...that's right....at 2-3 in the morning....it was a mess....but we all crashed afterward.

(river asleep with the chipmunks squeezed to her chest, like every night since)

Blake, being the boy that he is slept until 1pm the next day so we went to my parents house to see rivers presents from them! she was in love :) ...but the chipmunks had to be apart of everything....obviously....

the rest of the day consisted of Grandma Lisa's,  River drinking my coffee, River trying to jump on and ride the little doggy Roxie and River eating all sugary things all day...then being absolutely crazy and angry all night....the end

to make this picture better....river laid them that way....she laid in the middle of them...and she chose to cover her eyes....completely candid.

CHIPMUNKS.

cheesy river face :)

rivers room after santa :)

i wish we had more pictures of dad......
