First Haircut

Well Ady is now 2 1/2.  It is probably about time that she got a haircut.  She just didn't have hair for so long.  It has grown a lot longer, and she was sporting a little bit of a mullet.  So on Saturday November 24th after we went and chopped down our Christmas Tree we took ady into Alli's work, and she got her first haircut. 

It was so cute.  She was excited about it.  She sat up in the chair, when alli started cutting ady thought that it tickled and she started to wiggle. 

honestly Ady did so good.  Alli is so good at her job, and she did a great job!  I think that Ady's hair is so cute and she looks so grown up.




Thanksgiving 2012

For Thanksgiving this year, we went and spent the day in South Jordan.  We started the day by playing some basketball.  Then we ate some food!  All of the food was delicious!  After dinner we watched Brave, and played some ping pong and darts.  It was such a fun day!  We were so tired the next day, but the fun didn't stop. 

On Friday we drove up to Logan and had a wonderful dinner with Brian's whole extended family.  All of his family was there.  Except for Scott and Allison who we missed a lot!
 After the dinner with his family, we headed to my parents house.  We played some farkle.  It was so much fun, and we played until late in the night.

On Saturday we woke up and headed up to Idaho.  We went to cut down our Christmas Tree.  It was kind of an odd year.  We got up there, and there was no snow. We had the snow mobile in the truck ready to use it and then there was no snow.  We hiked up the mountain, which was already better than last year. Last year we ended up sitting at the bottom of the hill, and we had them pick out a tree for us.  So we walked up the mountain.  By the time we were half way up the hill the girls were complaining that their hands were hott.  So we had to revamp the outfit.  But after some more hiking around, we found our tree.  The girls had fun, and we made it back down the mountain.  So it was great!










It was a wonderful weekend full of family and fun.  I am so grateful for all of my blessings!

Thankful Turkey

Tonight for family home evening, we made thankful turkey's.  We traced the girls' hands and feet.  We cut them out and then asked them what they were thankful for.  It was a really fun activity. 
Ady said that she was thankful for hands, feet, family, crown and stick.  She was just looking around the table while I asked her what she was thankful for, and apparently that is what she saw. 
Annika said that she was thankful for family, pillow pet, clothes, bed, and her blanket.  She wrote all the the things on her feathers. we might have to work on writing a little bit smaller! 


I am so thankful for my girls.  They bring me so much joy!  I am thankful for Brian, he is such a wonderful husband and dad.  I am grateful for all of the family we have.  There is so much that I am thankful for, and this doesn't need to go on forever.  But I love this time of year!  Happy Thanksgiving!
