A Year In Review

I liked the idea that Kaesy had of reviewing her year...it is such a fun way to look back on the fun things and changes that took place. So here is the Hicken Family's "year in review"

Christmas 2009

Riley and Boston were so much fun Christmas morning! We had a blast. That day we visited The Hicken family and The Nicholls family each twice :) It is a super busy day but so much fun.

Thanksgiving 2009

These are a bit out of order! But I need to get them on here. For Thanksgiving we went out to Stauffer's house. It was so much fun :) They had a pinata (not sure of the spelling on that one!) for the kids which Riley absolutely loved, anything to do with C-A-N-D-Y she LOVES!!! The food was delicious and the company was great. The pictures are in the slide show below.

All Dressed Up

Every year my mom and dad buy the grandkids Christmas outfits :) It is such a fun tradition and we always make sure we get a picture of all of them in front of my mom and dad's tree. So here they are this year! It is really hard to get a picture of six kids and have it turn out the way you want. Boston would not stay in place, he kept jumping forward so this is what you get. Aren't they all adorable?

Ogden's Christmas Village

Every year it is tradition that we go and visit Christmas Village. Here are a few of our pics from the very very cold evening!

Boston was pretty bundled up! He looked like a little marshmallow man :)

My two babes on Santa's lap. Riley is warming up quite nicely to the idea of seeing Santa! Boston on the other hand...well we have to give him the candy cane first thing so that he doesn't cry.

Grandma Dee Dee with Riley and Ashley.

Uncle J.R. and the four girls: Ashley, Brynn, Riley and Kenzie.

Last but not least our little family. Jason is a hot chocolate freak! He had two of them that night and his daughter is taking right after him. She wants hot chocolate EVERY morning with her breakfast.

As you may know, I am a bit behind on blogging! I have a ton more pictures to post but wanted to get some of these on here. Hopefully we will get some of the other fun stuff we have been doing on here pretty soon.
