Lots of Pictures

Kiyah dusting and giving it the white glove test

Ryan loves blowing in Kiyah's face, this is just perfect timing on the hair part

Kiyah all of a sudden just got up and climbed up on Ryan's chest, she did not have any help and she didn't fall. What a brave child.


Kiyah on Christmas. I have a lot more pictures, but I am lazy and what is the point of 500 pictures of a 2 year old opening 100 things. Oh well.

Chalk one up for having family in different parts of the country, you get a lot of stuff.
