Living the Good LIfe: Finally Christmas part 1

I have been out of the "blogging world" for a bit and now I am back. There is so much to catch up on and I am going to finally get to Christmas.
This year Christmas was with my family in California. We were so excited to be together with my brother and his family, my dad and Janene. Our Christmas was perfect in every way and we LOVED being together. Here are a few highlights from our Christmas vacation.

Christmas morning was great, very relaxing and enjoyed eachothers company and new toys.

Santa brought Hollie a baby cradle and a highchair with baby accessories

Santa brought Ethan a coupe car, lots of cars and sports balls.

Our adorable Christmas morning family pic...haha, don't we look SO happy!? Hollie VERY tired, Ethan involved in what he has and then the happy parents and we were.

How it all began

We are Ryan and Kerri and are California kids who now reside in Gilbert, Arizona. Ryan and I met at Lake Powell 8 years ago. Our families were in the same ward and both were invited to Lake Powell with our Bishop and their family. This is where it all began. 4 months later we were in Europe with his parents and in Paris, France Ryan asked for my hand in marriage. Ofcourse I said yes and in August 2001 we were married in the San Diego Temple. Ryan started Chiropractic school in January 2001 and has now been in practice for 6 years!
Life is great and we love every bit of it!!
We have two children, Hollie (4) and Ethan (2). They are our world and you will hear all about them. We love to brag about them and share everything we do. You will also hear about the ups and downs of life so hold on tight it may be a roller coaster ride!!

The things Hollie says and does

I told her that she was beautiful the other day and she told me, "No mom, I'm pretty". (Gotta love it)
There was a day when I was not feeling well and I was laying down upstairs and I came down to check on Hollie and she was getting into something she shouldn't. When I told her not to do that she looked at me and said, "mommy back up stairs your tummy still hurts." (Oh, my goodness gracious I did everything I could to not laugh)
'mommy, daddy tell me something" (she says this when she gets in trouble)
"mommy don't bug me" (where did she get that?)
"my mommy"
"oh my goodness gracious"
"Mom, you look stylin" Don't know where she got that, but I thought it was adorable
It's okay, No big deal. Gotta Love it.
Making Ethan a bottle all by herself (with little assistance), she is such a good mom.
"Mommy, Hollie do it." Very Famous around here
Telling Kruz (a friend), he is doing something wrong and then started counting, 1,2,3... I about died.
Changing Ethan's diaper all by herself because she "thinks" he has poops. I was upstairs getting ready and she took it in her own hands.
Mommy, I drive the car, K? Oh my goodness, we still have 14 years left!!!
Pulling me back with her hands tightly wrapped around me saying, "relax mom, relax" A moment I will always treasure. We need to take more time to relax
