Hard to believe this is the FINAL post of 2015! What??!! I'm still trying to swallow and write 2016. Super weird ha ha! Well we had an amazing Christmas and no short of a zillion pictures to document! Here we go!
Squeaky clean before we head to Twin Falls!
We got to Twin Falls on the night of the 23rd which is Eric's birthday! We celebrated with him at Gerties and had a lot of fun! After we ate, Adalynn played in the arcade with Eric. She wasn't a fan of the moving kiddie rides, she wanted to do the big ones with him! She sure loves Uncle Eric!
"Um excuse me sir, please don't touch my taxi buttons!" ha ha!
Bang Bang!
Christmas Eve arrived and we were all so excited! Adalynn kicked off the morning helping Grandma bake in the kitchen and kept her company :)
My little brother Justin is pretty much a stud. SOO proud of him!
Miss Adalynn's Christmas Eve (daytime) outfit. She looked so stinkin cute! I know I know I'm crazy. But let's be honest, by 4pm a toddlers outfit is toast therefore, 2 cute Christmas Eve outfits are needed :)
The afternoon of Christmas Eve we got together with Jordan's family and did a little bowling! It was a lot of especially since Adalynn was so intrigued with what was going on! After every person bowled she would clap and go yayyyyyyy!
Fives for Aunt Kerin!
The whole bowling gang :)
Jordan, Adalynn, Jurgen (kerin's bf), Elise, Kerin, and Rita
This unfortunately was the last picture of our fun bowling outing, Fives for dad who got a strike! Bowling was all fun and games.... until Miss Adalynn got smacked in the head with a bowling ball. Jordan got up to bowl and went to swing his arm back and Adalynn ran up behind him only for her forehead to meet his ball. OUCH! Yep a mother's dream for Christmas morning pictures with a huge painful bulge on her forehead! (by the grace of God, you actually could barely see it the next morning, let alone in pictures thank goodness!)
With Christmas Eve finally here, we were so excited for all the fun for Adalynn! So naturally, let's take a selfie :)
Mom & Grandma in the kitchen
Grandma Rice & Merle
Tim, Mom, and Dad
The cooks with the yummy rubbed roast! It was Ahhh-MAZING!
Our little family <3 I sure LOVE these 2 like crazy!!
Aaaaand her Christmas Eve (night) outfit! Can't get over the cuteness!! Having a girl is so dangerous to our bank account!
The boys were all sacked out after dinner!
Opening presents!
Adalynn opened Minnie Mouse jammies and Twas' the Night Before Christmas On Sesame Street! Yep I plan for cute pictures on Christmas morning ;)
Due to going to so many different places on Christmas between all our family, we always open presents with Grandma and Grandpa Rice on Christmas Eve because that is when we get to see them!
Adalynn opened a fun book from great Gma and Gmpa Rice as well as a babydoll, baby blanket, and bottle!
She also got a stroller from Gma and Gmpa Morrow so she was so excited! It was definitely the hit of the night :) She drove it all over the house and if you were in her way, she would run you over ha ha
Ready for SANTA!!
This made my heart almost burst.... She laid there all snuggled with Jordan just reading her cookie monster book before bed <3
Santa has come!! What a spoiled little girl!
Christmas morning was very different than what we imagined! I thought she would rip through all her toys and run around like crazy with it all... Not even close. She wandered into the living room and carefully examined each toy with a smile. It was so cute!
Thrilled with her Minnie Mouse Couch!
Stocking fun :)
A fun little camera!
Another big hit was her little "hair basket." She always is so interested with my hairdryer and straightener, so she was thrilled with a play hair dryer, curling iron and straightener of her own!
She walked all over all morning "drying" her hair and it was hilarious! She even had the little wrist shake to go with it!
Mickey and Friends figurines
Knowing that there was something fun inside of presents, she didn't hesitate to do the carrying to open it!
Had to take a little break from opening to try out her magnet letters and numbers with Eric!
I always get a kick out of Jordan's tags on Christmas. He makes a point to even be funny that!
Books, jammies, pillowcase, and blanket!
My FAVORITE picture from this Christmas... That face is priceless!!
Daddy and Adalynn <3

The boys got In-N-Out shirts :)
Still playing with all her Santa toys!

Collector hotwheels!
New boating glasses!
One of Adalynn's shirts ha ha
STILL opening presents! Adalynn was SOOOO spoiled it was crazy!
Jordan got Laker's tickets to fly to LA and watch a Lakers game! And of course, Adalynn had to get him a shirt to wear to the game ;)
A card shirt for the magician!
Jordan upgraded my camera (total surprise!) and my mom got the same one from my dad! Time to show her how to use it for boating this Summer!!
After Christmas morning, we headed over to Jordan's family's house to do presents :) Adalynn made a point to break a snowglobe all down the front of her right when we got there, so she is missing her jammie shirt! She was excited to see Gma Martitz, Kerin, & Nolan :)
Uncle Nolan got her a frozen sleeping bag! She was so excited! She LOVES Frozen!
Puzzles from Gma :)
A huge Minnie Mouse!
Kerin & Jurgen
Jordan's Aunt Linda also came to do presents :) SO fun!
After our morning of present opening, Adalynn totally CRASHED! She took a good long nap and even after she woke up, she just snuggled half asleep with my mom for a LONG time! It was so cute!
Gma and Grandpa Dutry had the afternoon on Christmas. We had yummy food and opened more presents!
All festive for Christmas. I love this girl so much I can hardly stand it!
The day after, we went tubing up at Magic Mountain with my family and Jordan's. It was such a pretty day and a lot of fun! Adalynn took a little nap on the way up. Love the snuggles :)
Us!
Rope tow to the top with my princess!
Just chillin, waiting for her turn!
CUTEST little snow bunny!
Little miss LOVED the snow and couldn't get enough of playing in it! Always a plus when we live in Idaho :)
She had a blast when Grandpa would swing her around in the tube!
They sure have a soft spot for each other ;) Grandpa's girl!
Dad and Mom
Jurgen and Kerin going down

Justin headed down!
Jordan and Adalynn
I was so paranoid! I kept telling him over and over that he better hold onto her so freakin tight! Mommies worry more I guess ha ha
Eric, my dad, and Elise
The trees were totally gorgeous! Packed down with snow and glittering :)
Snuggling with Grandpa

My family
Adalynn thought it was so fun to hit the snow off the branches and have it fly everyhwere
I tried to take Adalynn into the lodge to warm up and she wasn't having that! She stood at the door pulling on it crying and saying, "Outside snow! Outside snow!" She loved playing in the snow even in the cold temperatures!
Oh goodness these two are so cute!
Us girlies :)
Nolan
Kerin & Jurgen
Dad, Justin, & Eric
After tubing, we headed over to Jordan's Dad's house. Adalnn opened a puppy pillow and another Elmo :) She is growing up so fast! She looks so grown up!
We had a blast in Twin for Christmas and coming home was like Christmas all over again! Adalynn was quite confused when we were bringing all her toys in like, "Oh I get to keep all of those things?!" It was hilarous. We were unloading and I put on Frozen to entertain her for a minute. I came back to this :) so funny!
New jammies and looking so grown up!
Another night of new jammies from Gma and Gmpa!
Love this sassy girl :) Cold winter days call for a snuggle day in jammies!
Ready to get going with my new camera body and all my lenses!
It is Adalynn's world, Jordan and I just live in it ha ha
I was playing around with the new features on my new camera. I didn't have anything set to take pictures for reals, and was just playing with buttons. Just my luck, Adalynn ran over and posed. What?! She neverrr does that! But no joke, she saw me taking pictures and jumped up on her ottoman, grinned, and said, "Cheeeeeeeese!!" I frantically hurried to capture that moment and while it is a little grainy because of the impromptu nature, I am totally in love her cute poses!
We put a pillow in Adalynn's bed recently in hopes of curving her wild sleeping ways for when we eventually transition her into a toddler bed.... Clearly we are losing that war too...
She loves the tupperware cabinet!
Caught red handed :)
New Years Eve, Jordan took Adalynn for the day so I could enjoy some scrapbooking. These two looked so darn cute, I just had to snap a pic before they left!
Scrapbooking paradise for the day!
Working more on Adalynn's book!
Our New Year's Eve was uneventful. Jordan was on call for the holiday and that weekend so we just called it a night and went to bed :) Adalynn even started the New Year off right with actually sleeping ON her pillow! Yay! ha ha
We are looking forward to all that 2016 has to offer! We are extremely blessed! Happy New Year!
