Niederer Christmas party

We had our Niederer Christmas party a couple weeks ago. Last year is when they started doing this and I didn't go because Kinley was only a few weeks old and I didn't want to take her out and about yet. This year, the party was pizza at our brother and sister in laws house, bowling, and a movie. Me and Kinley left after bowling because 1, it was star wars, and 2. There's no way I would be able to hold my busy one year old still through a movie during her bed time. The party was fun and Caleb won bowling of course haha

Kinley's 1 year family pictures, SLC, and a couple randoms

Last week, my brother took some family pictures of us. I wanted some where Kinley had just turned one. I also wanted a winter family picture for Christmas cards that I got sent out.

One of my favorites


Another favorite.






All the heart eyes :)


On Wednesday, we headed out of town again to Salt Lake for Kinley's neurologist appointment. I was a little nervous that she was going to be kinda fussy because she had her 1 year well check a couple days prior where she got 5 shots. :( So sad. She did good though! We got there and checked into our hotel, ate our early dinner since we were starved, and then decided to last minute head to temple square for a bit. It was freezing so we didn't stay long. Long enough to walk around and see the lights. It worked out because we didn't have a ton of time since it was just a quick trip.
Pictures never do it justice, but I loved the view from our room. I love the snow on the mountains.







After temple square, we headed back to the hotel, and got settled in for the night. Thank goodness for King size beds. Kinley usually ends up in our bed and there is always much more room for me when we're in a king. ;) The next morning, Kinley got up at her usual 6 am and we decided after a little bit to go down to the lobby for breakfast so Caleb could sleep for a bit longer. We got ready and headed up to her appointment that morning. Kinley is doing super great which we could not be more grateful for. I had all my questions answered and we were on our way. Since we just got her blood work done a few weeks ago, we opted out of doing it this time and are just going to get it done here in 3 months again, then we don't have to go down to Salt Lake for 6 months this time unless she has any break through seizures! Woo! We went from every month, to 3, now we're to 6. So this is good! We wanted to hurry and get on our way since we were getting winter storm warnings from Salt Lake till home. We got to Tremonton when it started to snow and it snowed the rest of the way home. It was extremely foggy and at times you could only see the car in front of you. Some areas the roads were not good, others they were ok, but for the most part, traffic was slowed down so it took a little longer to get home. But we did make it! 
This was when it was looking good. It was mainly through the Malad pass that it was really bad. I hate traveling in the winter on bad roads. Gives me the worst anxiety! Glad for a good report and that we don't have to go back for 6 months! Yay!

Here's a few randoms

ALWAYS only has one sock. She always pulls them off.

Another random time that she just fell asleep mid playing.

Christmas shopping

We got a snow shovel delivered to us and it came in the biggest box! Our entire family fit into it easily and Kinley was having a hoot ha


Kinley decided to wake up at 3:45 a.m. for the day. I was so tired of fighting it so Peppa Pig it was. Very typical for this baby. Zombie doesn't even begin to describe the mood for this mama. 

Having fun tagging along while we Christmas shop.
