Christmas #3

We left for Yakima, WA. the Monday before Christmas. I was nervous about flying with Rowan, but I was prepared. Backpack full of snacks, toys, warm coats, extra clothes, laptop with DVD's (Mickey Mouse, Wiggles, etc.).
R is nervous around loud noises, like truck engines, so I wasn't sure how she would react to the noise of the planes. BUT...it turns out R is a born flyer. She LOVED the airplane and the noise didn't bother her AT ALL.

She actually did great on the plane ride and slept during our Denver layover. This gives me hope that our eventual trip to Hawaii won't be too bad *fingers crossed*.

It was really cold when we arrived, somewhere close to 15 degrees.


As we enjoyed the mountains of cookies and awesome food, I couldn't wait to take R out into the snow.

I had visions of building a snowman and snowball fights but although there was plenty of snow, it was too dry to stick. But, she absolutely loved her first time in the snow.

She also loved hot chocolate (another first).


She got more awesome presents. Really, she cleaned up for Christmas.

Got to meet her Great Grandmother.


And spent lots of time with Auntie Shelley, her Grammy and her Pappy. And got to meet her Great Aunt Mary and family.


What more could you ask for?
