Happy HOLIDAYS!!!!!


Tis the SEASON to be JOLLY!!!!
Reidhead Christmas 2010

This yr. Paul & I celebrated our 3rd Christmas together, and it was wonderful!
I love our little family, and it was so much fun to spend time with my sweet hubby & adorable little princess this holiday season! From Blk Friday shopping, to ribbons & wrapping, good food, parties w/ friends, Christmas music and bright decorations, family outings, visiting Santa... it all led up to today, and it was worth it! Paul & I felt so much love and joy as we reflected on our life together, and the many blessing and trials we have had, and the growth we have seen between us and in our relationship. We also enjoyed priceless moments with Brightlie- it is so fun to have such a spunky little girl in our home, and we can't get enough of her hugs, kisses, and funny moments that keep us laughing and smiling. We feel very blessed this season, and are so grateful for this time of yr. and the Savior's birth. We are anxiously awaiting 2011, and can't wait to see what this upcoming new yr.has in store for the Reidhead Family!

Paul was thrilled this his gifts this yr- I got him
a RC helicopter (a nice, grown up one) which is what he really wanted,
and a . . . . (wait for it...)

B was filled with anticipation, and enjoyed her big gift,
princess mega blocks set!!!!!
(to get it half price on Blk Friday was worth the 4 hour wait...
kids toys are not cheap!)

. . . GUN!!!!! yep, Paul's 2nd big gift was a shotgun!

Daddy & B, chillin on Christmas

Oh Christmas tree, oh Christmas tree :)

Bewteen Santa & mom/dad, Brightlie had plenty of
presents that she got to open... what a sight:
4 different board games
2 disney movies
2 books
2 shirts (in her stocking)
1 mega blocks set
and PINK Converse All-Star sneakers!!!!
(She's not spoiled, just loved!)

Paul bought me a nikon coolpix camera, a netboook computer
& . . . . a 'boob job'!!!! (haha- a new VS Miraculous Bra- ups you 2 cup sizes!!!)
What a sweet hubby!

Come to find out, B loves wrapping paper &
bows just as much as her actual gifts!

What "Santa" left in our stockings...
Swaeter for B, T-shirt & cologne for Paul, Bra for me!

Me & my man- Christmas #3 together!
I love you babe!!!
(ps. - for those who are counting & confused...2008= engaged)
We enjoyed a quiet and relaxing Christmas morning at home, the afternoon playing and enjoying Brightlie, and later got to go over and spend time with Paul's family.... Christmas Day was simple, but very memorable :)


AND.....
Christmas EVE with the HOFFMAN'S!!!
Brightlie & LeeAndra... Mike & LeeAndra
bought B a mooing cow that blows big bubbles (bubble machine)- Brightlie
is quite afraid of this loud mooing thing that opens it mouth & stuff comes out...

December Discoveries!


We have had so much fun this month! It has been so great to really get to enjoy the holidays in our new home! (Last yr. we moved in the beg. of Nov. and with Brightlie's arrival, we didn't do too much) SO... this yr. we have the decorations up, the Christmas tree, stockings hung, and we have enjoyed lots of shopping and fun quality time together! We also went to San Tan Mall to visit Santa!!! We love B and it is so fun to have her exciting personality shining through each day as she keeps getting older! Here are some of the Dec. events...

Our tree!!!! (Real, of course!)

B is our big helper!

"What is this?"

Brightlie is 13 months old! She has 7 teeth, her hair is getting long, and she loves to play with anything and everything! She says : "Mom", "dada", "doga" (doggie), "no", and lots of other funny noises/chitter chatter. She knows how to sip from a straw. She walks everywhere. Loves books and turning the pages. Recently, while listening to Christmas music started turning circles, waving her arms, and DANCING!!! Mamma's girl for sure!!!!

Our good friends Freddy & Alissa had a huge Christmas party at their house, and had snow brought in to make their yard a winter wonderland.
Brightlie had fun, mostly just wanting to eat it! :)

We always love to spend time with the Srtadlings!
Tiffany and I are thrilled that we have already figured out that our girls
will be in the same age group for school! Hurray! Best friends/cousins!

Pigtails! Brightlie is constantly on the move-
I'm always chasing her around! It's a workout!

Happily married couple... we are so excited to officially celebrate our
3rd Christmas together!

Love having the Ellingsons over!
Dallin & Laura came over for a FHE Fajita dinner at our house- we
always enjoy good laughs with them.

B learned she can climb! "Scoot over daddy!"

Yes, our tree this yr is up 4 ft. on a table...
with a toddler we get very creative with baby proofing!

Mommy & B, doing the Christmas lights!

Hope you are almost ready for Christmas, it's a week away! We are almost there...can't wait for Santa to visit- Brightlie has been a very good girl this yr.!
