Christmas

Christmas was fun. It was fun to see the girls enjoy the gifts, they wanted each toy out of its packaging before opening the next gift! Thanks Dad for sending the christmas money! And thanks to grandmas who sent money for the girls too! We love you! and hope you all had a wonderful christmas!

Families are Forever

The week before christmas my brother got leave and come home to Utah to spend Christmas with family, bless their baby and be sealed in the temple! Set and I were able to attend, thanks Katie for watching the girls! These are some pictures of my little brother and his wife and baby after the sealing. And one of me and Set. Look I smiled so big my eyes closed! And thanks google maps for directions to the Mt. Timpanogos temple, I've only been there once before, it's almost as tricky to find as the Draper temple.

Puzzle Fun

The Simpsons! Yes, we watch. This was our little family project this week. It was just a fun thing to do together to relax. We wanted to make sure the pieces were all there after a spill. Turned out there were only two pieces of 1,000 missing. It was hard to do because you can't just look for a specific color like you might with a mountain or ocean scene, it's so colorful, we had to pick out the faces and go from there. It was funny to realize how well we know the characters. We'd recognize Apu's hair or the Monorail guy's suit. It was a fun project for us to do and as Christmas gets closer I need more and more reasons to procrastinate sending out my Christmas cards and wrapping presents.

Reluctant Ballerinas

I've been saying forever "Nah, we won't pay for dance lessons, I can teach them at home" Well, until now I never actually got around to it, so for a first try it went ok. Laurel did ok, I think they liked getting dressed up the most, but after that it was all downhill. Angelinne was crying the whole time and wanted me to hold her. Laurel and I warmed up and stretched and did some piles but that's about as far as we got! They sure looked cute in their ballerina outfits though!

Hello

Hi. I wanted to post something for Set in case he gets a chance to check this. Hi honey, i miss you. Wish you were here, but I hope you're having a good visit with your family. I love you!

Dancing Queen

Angelinne my dancing queen was caught on video this week. She's still a little camera shy. She gets facinated with things like the camera, the sink, the toilet, the phone, etc. So we try to keep control over those things. Her new word last week was "Panda" as a result of all the hype for KungFu Panda that just came out on DVD. I hope y'all enjoy this video, and yes, I would have liked to seen Set dancing too, but he wouldn't let me.

Halloween Fun

We enjoyed a wonderfully Happy Halloween this year. I'm sure it will be one we will remember always! We got to go Trick-or-treating at our favorite people's houses and had a little party at Mom's. Set took the girls around Mom's neighborhood and then Angie and I went to visit a few people we haven't seen in a long time. We had fun and it was fun to dress up. I went as Giselle from Enchanted, Set painted his face just for fun, Laurel was a Flower and Angie was a Teddy Bear. Aedan sneaks in almost all the pictures we take, so he's in this one with us as Spiderman! Boy were those kids happy to get some candy! I tried to sneak away Angie's candy and she would not have it! She wanted to hold a piece in each hand. But luckily her new word for this week in addition to last weeks "bad guys" is "thank you" so she was as charming as ever for all our friends and family who we visited last night.
