So, I know I'm a little slow to post this but I thought I'd update you on our holiday doings anyway. We had a Christmas party at Daniel's dad's place in Blackfoot the week before, unfortunately we were having so much fun we forgot to take pictures, but Aliya had a blast playing with her cousins and even got close enough to Santa to take a candy-cane from him!
On Christmas eve we went to Daniel's mom's house to build gingerbread houses etc. It was fun and we did manage to take a few pics.

We stayed home for the day of Christmas. We had our own little feast and I was so proud of myself I got everything done at the same time and ON time! It was strange not to be with our families that day, at least for me, I think Daniel loved it, but it was nice. Then we went to my family's for the day after since everyone was there this year including Davis & Lisa, and Elisabeth was home from Portland. It was so nice to see everyone and spend some good quality time.
Aliya loved opening presents this year and she is no longer afraid of tearing the paper :). It was so cute to watch her be so excited about things. She got a singing teapot and a little people school bus which she loves! We missed seeing all the good friends we left in Rexburg but we hope to be able to visit soon. Hugs to all, we hope your holidays were wonderful. Here are a few pics from the holidays

Looks like you guys had fun! We do miss you guys! And I laughed when you said that Aliya is okay with tearing paper now. It made me think of her b-day party. :)
That looks like a fun Christmas! We did Christmas with our little fam too. It is different, but we had a lot of fun. I can't believe how big Aliya is getting! She is such a cutie!
