These are the days

You smiled at me for the first time the other day..........Thank you.

Hot Chocolate and Shrinky Dinks

I remember playing with shrinky dinks when I was young up at my dad's restaurant. This was one of my favorite things to do so of course I was excited when Maren got shrinky dinks from her aunt for Christmas. We decided to pull them out yesterday and have some fun with a friend of hers from our neighborhood.

So we spent the weekend up at Powder Mountain for New years. We actually got Maren up on skis, but not Taylor. We tried to get her to go sledding and she wouldn't hear of it so she slid on her belly down this teeny hill and cried the whole way down. She's not very adventurous, but she's pretty cute. 

I think it's pretty cute that Jon now carries around a couple of Pink

          skis instead of his own....Dad's are pretty cute!

Christmas Eve

This Christmas Eve Maren and Taylor made cookies for Santa with my mom and I. We went to see the Temple lights and Maren fell asleep in front of the Christmas tree waiting for Santa. Also Maren and I wrote a Christmas list for Santa and I asked her what she wanted to say to Santa, she said "Tell him I've been naughty, but I've been happy." It made my night. 

Sweet Utah Powder

The girls painted my moms and dads window for christmas. For some reason I don't have a picture of the final results, but my mom did a good job (after the girls were sent inside). They were so excited to have Frosty the Snowman on the window they couldn't wait to get in their paint clothes and get dirty. It was a fun Saturday...thanks mom.

Maren and I needed a girls day. We have been building a house for the past few months and we are almost done!!! We have been going crazy so we decided to go with my sister and her daughter to go get Glitter Toes. It was Maren's first pedicure and she had so much fun. We need to do it more.
