January 2014

Driving home from a temple night with some of my favorite girls. It was lovely to attend the temple. I wish we had one closer. With little kids at home it's really hard to get away for so long. 

Cute Keslie sitting on the big chair outside of Scoop Me ice cream! Love hanging out with my Bodess. 

For Christmas I gave Nathan a year of pre-planned dates. The first date was a trip to Fuddruckers and the ice skating rink. Unfortunately, the skating rink I took him to was pathetically small so we decided against it. I should have taken him to the one in Arlington. It was fun being with him though! Fuddruckers is always a favorite - I can't get enough of their fried pickles!



Brenan's pre-k teacher, Miss Tamara, sent me this picture of Brenan. She said he was very proud of this tower he was building and wanted her to take a picture to send to me. He is adorable. I really love this preschool that he is going to. 

Here is my cute, busy, little bug! She is getting so big!! She didn't get Keslie's curls. Her hair is kind of doing the mullet. Fancy! =) 

Here she is, snacking on an ice cream cone from Braums. We LOVE Braums ice cream!! 

Do ya think there is enough stuff in bed with her?! Haha! How does she even sleep like this?! 

I walked in and found her like this. She is such a climber. Do you like her Thomas the Train pj's? Hand me downs from Bren! Haha!

New Year's Eve 2013

We were so worn out from all of our December fun that we decided to keep New Year's Eve simple and just celebrate with us. It was awesome. We ate lots of yummy food, played bingo (the kids look forward to that every year since the Soters introduced us), watched the American Girl movie we got for Christmas, played some games and then drank our annual IBC root beer. It was awesome! 




















Christmas 2013

Here are the kids getting our sugar cookies ready for baking!


We invited some of our favorite people to join us for our Christmas Eve festivities. We had yummy soups and salads and decorated cookies and played. It was great! 



















After everyone left the kiddos got to open their Christmas pj's and then do the traditional train pose by the tree!

Christmas morning before the kiddos came down - yes it's STILL dark outside! Haha! Santa brought bikes, roller blades, and a toy kitchen this year! The rest of the pictures speak for themselves.We had such a great day relaxing and enjoying being together. Later in the afternoon we went and saw Frozen and then visited some friend's house for dinner. It was a beautiful Christmas day.
