Christmas Fun

Jaidyn had her preschool Christmas program. She has been so shy in front of other people. She had a part she had to say in the microphone, and we practiced it a lot. I had a feeling she wasn't going to say her part... so I did what I had to do... I bribed her ;) I told her if she said her part I would buy her a present :o Well it worked! She did it, and she did such a good job! Jaidyn has had so much fun in preschool, she loves her teacher, and she is getting so smart! I'm so proud of her :)



Taylor had some friends sleep over, they had fun making gingerbread houses

We decided to go to Temple Square and look at the lights. We had a good time, the girls really enjoyed it. They even got to see their babysitter, Beth. She left on her mission to Temple Square a year ago. The girls have missed her so much! I wish we would've gotten a picture with her...

Christmas Ball

Our ward had a Christmas Ball. So we had to dress up like princesses going to the ball ;) The girls asked if there would be princes there... how cute. I wore my sisters prom dress, which was about 12 years old :o Taylor wore one of my dresses from a high school dance (which I altered to fit her), and Jaidyn wore a dress that I wore at a dance recital when I was 4! I knew these dresses would come in handy some day!

Of course we had to have a visit from Santa! Jaidyn is still terrified of him...

Like mother, like daughter. Nice pose ;D (It wasn't planned either.)

I love this picture of Taylor and Marlee dancing! It's so cute!!!

1 Year Ago...

I forgot to add these pictures to Marlee's birthday post. I also forgot to mention that she's walking!
She's so little in her car seat!

My Birthday

I had a great birthday! I went to the spa and got a body wrap (which I totally recommend) and a facial! Then I came home to a surprise! The girls had decorated the house! They sang Happy Birthday to me when I walked through the door, then I got to open my presents :)

Birthday presents: Lots of clothes, a new coat, new shoes, and my very own canning supplies!

I even got to go to dinner to my favorite place... Macaroni Grill!

Marlee's Birthday

I'm just now getting around to posting this. I've been crazy busy this month! I can't believe my baby is one! She is so happy all the time and full of life!

I attempted to make her cake...

She loved all of her presents!!! It was an exciting night for her ;o)
At her one year check up she weighed 15.1 lbs. She's a tiny little thing, so the doc suggested we do a lot of power packing for the next month. Let's cross our fingers she gains some weight!!!
