Ribbon and wrapping paper

Lydia was the perfect age this Christmas season. She was old enough to love the wrapping paper and ribbon and enjoy her presents, but young enough to not be all over the place and out of control. She certainly had lots of opportunity to play with lots of ribbon and wrapping paper. The most recent opportunity (and last opportunity for at least a little while) was when we celebrated the birthdays of Kevin and Amy. Lydia was in ribbon heaven with all of those Peaden bows floating around. 



 (Just a sidenote, I decorated this cake and was pretty proud of myself. One side was a scrapbook page of an elephant as a tribute to Amy's dedication to scrapbooking all of her Africa pictures. The other side was an Aggie A with a graduation cap as a tribute to Kevin's recent graduation from Utah State. It looks pretty awesome, right?)




And here come those ribbons...












There are a lot of reasons that I love my husband. David is smart, funny, handsome, hard working, and very nice. However, sometimes he does things that endear him to me ten-fold. When I saw this "bow" that he made for our present to Kevin, it made me love him even more! Don't you love that awesome Aggie A? We've got to support our fellow Utah State fans, especially in a house full of Cougars.

Lydia is getting so good at standing up on things. She would rather be standing than sitting at any given moment. It's so cute to watch her, although it's becoming much more difficult to get to her take naps and go to bed at night because she will just sit up then pull herself to standing along the edge of her crib. Regardless - she is so fun. We had a great time playing with all of the presents while Kevin and Amy took turns opening their gifts.
