Kuhlman & Hafdell Christmas Party ~

We celebrated with Scott's dad's side of the family on Sunday the 26th. We all had a great time together, especially since we only get to see everyone once a year during Christmas.

Christmas Day marks the first day Kylee rode Lexie! She was so excited, and had been patiently waiting for a little over a week. We wanted to give time for Lexie to get used to her new surrounds, and we had to wait for all of the rain to stop!

Meet Lexi...Our newest Family Member!

Kylee's dreams have come true today! We brought home Lexi, our very own quarter-horse paint. She is beautiful & such a sweetie. Kylee had been with us looking at Lexi & riding her (testing her out) on previous visits, but she had no idea we were going to bring her home today. She found Lexi in the backyard when she came home from school! Kylee just loves Lexi and we all can't believe we finally have our very own horse, but this is the reason we moved out to Yorba Linda! Exciting stuff, and one very happy little girl!
Kylee first sees Lexi in the backyard & she is sooo happy! (below)

Beautiful girl!
