Once Upon a Time...

Life at our house pretty much consists of princesses, fairies, and dress up! Kaitlyn gets in and out of her different dresses (and accessories) ALL DAY LONG! She loves to watch Belle, Snow White, Jasmine (not Aladdin, its Jasmine!), Sleeping Beauty, Tinkerbell, and of course Ariel. I love that she is so girly.

When she is not playing princess, she is putting her babies to bed, feeding them, putting them in time-out, and changing them. Its pretty darn cute.

I love her "I am a Child of God" crown she made in primary, she wears it all the time!

Kaitlyn also takes it upon herself to teach her baby sister Hailey all she knows...and that includes being LOUD!

Welcome Home Jeff!

Yesterday Brian's little brother, Jeff, returned home from his mission in California. It was so fun to see him - he is all grown up! Since he left, he has a neice and a nephew he hasn't met plus a new brother-in-law. I think it was a lot to take in for him but he is still the Jeffy we remember who goes with the flow and loves to hold all the kids!

Anxiously awaiting Jeff's arrival...

Ryker was 2 1/2 and Kaitlyn had just turned 1 last time Jeff saw them....they looked quite a bit different to him!
Jeffy!

Ladies, your husbands will appreciate this one...

Let It Snow, Let It Snow, Let it Snow!

I have just LOVED all this snow lately! Kaitlyn has loved it too, so the other day we geared up for the cold and went in the backyard and build us a snowman! (Really I built it while kaitlyn threw snow at the snowman, threw snow at me, and ate A LOT of snow!!!) Kaitlyn wanted it to be a "daddy snowman", so he's all ready to hit the hills on his snowboard. Maybe next time we'll build a "mommy snowman" to go with it!

A Very Merry Christmas

Well, the jolly old man made it down the chimney and was very nice to these two crazy girls at our house! We had such a wonderful Christmas. I've always loved this holiday, but having kids has increased the joy the season brings me ten-fold! I love watching their eyes light up and the excitement of Christmas morning.

What are big sisters for if not to help unwrapping presents!

The one time a year mom is okay with messes. . .

As fun as the gifts and Santa are, I'm so grateful for my family and that we can be reminded of what is really important in life and celebrate the true meaning of Christmas together. I'm so thankful for my Savior and this time of year when we can remember His birth and the wonderful gifts He has given us. I know Christ lives and loves me!
