We had a very exciting Christmas surprise!

Watch this and see how exciting this surprise is for all of us!!!!

Christmas 2011 was Memorable!

We had such a fabulous holiday that started on December 16 and lasted until January 9! We love when Jared is on holidays and we can just hang out and enjoy sleeping in, eating yummy food, and spending time with lots & lots of family.
Prior to Christmas we went down to Welling and enjoyed taking Paige skating for the first time, hanging out, acting out the nativity, playing Wii, eating, playing with cousins, and visiting with Grandma and Grandpa.
Christmas morning was spent at our house with our little family. It was so relaxing and fun to see how excited the girls were. We hope everyone had as much fun celebrating with family as we did. We are so grateful for the birth of our Savior and the chance that we have to reflect on this and teach our children each year.Jared and I spent many hours building and decorating this barbie house/bookcase for the girls. They were so excited to play and have already used it for hours!

My Baby is 3...Happy Birthday!

Thank you for Dinner!

I just would like to give credit to Pinterest this week for providing fun, new, and delicious dinners for my family. It's so easy to use, with pictures mind you, and they have anything....

For example....Elle wanted pancakes (as always) and Paige wanted Pizza.....typed it into Pinterest and TONS of pizza pancake recipes came up!

AWESOME!!!!
