I can't believe we're in 2010 and that we have a 2 year old. Here's an attempt to catch up from the end of October...
I love this picture -- she is so crazy about her Dad. We both love it when he walks in the door from work, but she won't really leave his side from that point until bedtime. She also loves puzzles. So you can see from the look on her face how pumped she is to have both things:
What a sweet, happy girl:
Back in the beginning of December, we celebrated Rainey's birthday with family. She was SO excited just to have people there to sing "Happy Birthday" to her and then to watch her blow out the candles. Her face while we were singing was priceless. We were recording instead of taking pictures, so I can't post it on here, but it was one of pure joy. And nothing is better for a parent than that, especially when it is so simple. Just a few birthday shots.
She got to open a present from Grandma when she first woke up:
She had a friend come over, and she shared her new fashion with her. Rainey always wants to put dresses over whatever she is wearing. Her favorite combo is jammies and a dress.
Just after the singing and candles. She has such a satisfied look on her face:
Opening presents with cousins, aunts, uncles, and Gramsey:
We got to have Christmas here with my family. Once again, we have great video of Christmas morning, but no pictures. Rainey loved the tree -- she would ask to go sit by the tree multiple times a day.
This is a typical face, not sure what it means. But we had a good time putting together the gingerbread house:
An amazing Christmas gift from my Dad for all of us -- tickets to the Jazz game. Look at how close Jerry Sloan is! What a night!
We visited the Mitchells in California for New Year's weekend and took Rainey to the beach--she was in heaven. She LOVED the waves, even though the water was freezing. She wanted to be nakey in the waves, and so we let her. Kevin was quite embarrassed, but I thought it was awesome.
2010 should be even better than 2009 -- Kevin just started in a new position, I finish school in May, and we'll have our second girl in June. And just that we continue to be near family is fabulous.

Rainey is beyond adorable! Don't you just love 2-year-olds? We'll have to get together this summer. We're going to be moving to your neck of the woods in June.
