All dressed up with nowhere to go!

The Girls dressed up for church, note the pillows that I sewed for my front room, don't look too closely.

Millie received this darling dress as a hand-me-down from cousin Lila, when I saw an exact match for Olivia in the window of Brats, of course I had to buy it. Too bad they wouldn't cooperate for the photo shoot.

Millie's First Christmas

We had a happy Christmas. Lots of family and friend gatherings, a fun ski day, exciting presents, and the true Christmas spirit.

Thanksgiving

We went to St. George for the Thanksgiving holiday with my sisters, Adrien and Whitney and my parents. As you can see every day was an adventure.

We rode horses and Charlie looks happy in the picture but the dang horse tried to buck him off, scarey! We also had tractor rides by the old farmer and saw the baby new baby calf born on Thanksgiving day. We went hiking in the narrows and to the top of the hill behind our house.

We celebrated Sam and Brig's birthdays at Pirate Pizza and went golfing and running and swimming. And of course we ate turkey and stuffing and sweet potatoes and pie with my aunt Dru and her cute family and my grandma Goose and Harv. We are so thankful for all our many blessings, too many to count!

Greatest Snow on Earth!

This Holiday season we had a great time skiing. Dave was super manny for Amelia while I had a great ski day with Sam and Brig and my nephews Scott and Brock. The best part of the day was when Scott drank soda out of a used cup and straw, we couldn't stop laughing. Check us out in front of Milly Express, so cool. We had a fabulous family ski day on Christmas Eve, we got to ski with both the Allens and Johnsons and even Santa Claus. The weather was perfect, no injuries, and Olivia loved her first try at skiing. Olivia has been begging to go again, so yesterday Charlie and Liv and I went to Brighton. Liv proved once again that Girls rule and Boys drool as Liv cruised bravely down every run, while Charlie was whining and even shed a few tears. We had a great time!

Halloween Festivities

We had a great halloween. We celebrated all weekend. No school on Friday, instead we went trick or treating at my Dad's office and struck the mother load with the hundreds of cubicles. Saturday despite the rain we had a great dinner party with neighborhood friends and got plenty of candy, the rainboots and umbrellas didn't detract too much from our costumes. Sunday after cousin Andrew's blessing we had a Johnson family halloween party. Dave bought silk outfits for the girls in Hong Kong, we tried a wig to cover Liv's snow white hair, but eventually settled for black hair spray, she loved it. Millie was content with a pair of tights for her hair do ( I remembered my mom doing this for my sister Adrien when we were little girls, pretty clever.)
Anybody need any candy, we still have bags and bags left!
