First Haircut

This happened over Thanksgiving but my MIL had the pictures on her camera and I just got my copies. He was so cute during his haircut (given by daddy). He kept trying to put the hair back on his head and when it didn't stick there he tried to put it all over his body and under his arms. I guess he hated to see such nice hair go to waste.

Kissmisstine Again

 We spent Christmas in Colorado with J's parents. Warmish weather, lots of fun and my little munchkins loved playing with the dog, the cat and their cousins too.

This is their grandpa, he volunteered to be Santa for underprivileged kids, who received donated gifts. We figured since he was already dressed up, we'd take the kids and grandma provided the presents. The kids had no clue it was their grandpa, even though it was pretty obvious to us adults. R told me Santa was so nice to come all the way to Colorado to see her.

Jake made shirts for everyone and got L some diaper cream that he found in a dollar store. Nice name huh?

 Who has the overprotective mom who made her wear a coat even though it wasn't that cold? I can't help myself.

I started a food blog and would love some readers!

We had snow....

We had some snow, but it didn't last. And you know what? I am glad. I love the first snow, but I don't love when it never goes away. This is perfect, now we can have some fresh, clean snow next week. Plus, it was actually almost 60 degrees at one point today. Can't beat a warm spell in December.
We are SO excited for Christmas this year. It makes me giddy to see R talk about Santa and how she wonders if she is on the nice list. It is priceless to have a kid that believes in Santa. Let's see how long this will last though because she is a very good detective and makes it very difficult to sneak delivered boxes from the door and hide gifts around the house. If I ever can't find something R can always tell me exactly where it is. She takes inventory of everything and never forgets what we have and where we keep it. Wish me luck not to ruin things. I think I need to step it up a notch.
Here are some recent pictures of our goings on....Happy Holidays!

 J TURNED 29! R is always the candle blowing helper.

Thanksgiving and Lights At Temple Square

I really hope that everyone enjoyed their Thanksgiving. We had a quiet, little Thanksgiving with my parents-in-law and my brother-in-law. AND our leftovers are already basically gone. I hate having them for too long so I think that I finally figured out how to make the perfect amount of food. We do still have pumpkin pie left so if anybody wants a slice, I made it from fresh pumpkins and it is tasty.
We got a mother lode of snow and it is so pretty. But J's parents had to travel in it to come and see us and they probably didn't find it as enjoyable.
I am so sad that my outdoor running season is officially over. I am way too clumsy to try winter running, so back to the old ball and chain treadmill for me, boo!
We decided to go to temple square as a nice family outing with our Thanksgiving crew. It was COLD and CROWDED but beautiful. Poor, poor L was so bundled up and uncomfortable, but we all had to laugh because he looked cute and silly in all of his misery.     

Parent's Night @ Ballet/Tumble Class

 R took her performance very seriously. She was so cute....the youngest and most serious one in the class. I tried to upload the video but with no luck!

Happy Birthday Baby Boy!

You know I love this boy of mine. Kissy face, chubby cheeks, giggle head, and a great brother to boot - what's not to love? So happy birthday to my boy...keep smiling, and growing out your super long eyelashes that impress all those that you meet. We have been a happier family for having you join it and we love you more everyday!
