Holly's First Lake Trip

Thanks Stew for taking us to the lake for Holly's very first time. She did really well. At first she didn't really like the life jacket, but dealt with it. We sat her on the back of the boat to put her feet in and ended up jumping in to daddy. She was also a very big help with the flag.

Wymount Family Carnival

Thanks to Amanda Madsen for taking us to the Wymount Family Carnival. Holly had such a great time. We got to play games, ride on the train, get a snowcone and cotton candy, get our face painted (go BYU), and get a balloon animal (butterfly). It was way too fun!

Isn't moving interesting!

Christmas in Disneyland

I am really behind in blogging so get ready for a lot of pictures. The Sykes family went to Disneyland as our Christmas thing this year. It was really fun. We went the first week in December and the park was decorated so beautifully for Christmas. We were there for three days. Holly did really well and had a lot of fun with Pops and Grandie, and Uncle Will and Aunt Bri. I can't wait to take her back again.
