Spring Break

After two days at Disneyland we took the kids to Laguna Beach. It wasn't the warmest day but the view was beautiful and the kids had a blast. Nothing like the beach! Of course the best part of it was hanging out together :)

We took the girls to Disneyland for spring break- along with millions of other families :) We had a great time. It was the girls' first time. We took our weekend nanny, Emily and she made it even more fun. She was more exited than the girls I think.

Well we had a really fun weekend, nothing amazing but fun. Dan and I went to the temple Thursday night with our ward and out to dinner with everyone after. Friday I took the girls and their friends to a movie. Saturday, after a great workout at the gym of course, Dan took the older girls to Brian Head to ski and I took the little kids (with my friend Randi) to StGeorge to shop. That night we met up with friends at a restaurant and ate and talked and had a great time. It was such a fun weekend and everything just went so smoothly, probably because we went to the temple on Thursday!

Finally a good reason for the girls to go outside and enjoy some fresh air!

Christmas with the Allen's

For Christmas this year we bought a family ski pass to Brian Head ski resort. The week of Christmas we rented a condo and spent time hanging out just our family. It was nice to be together. The girls are really taking to skiing and getting good at it. This is my first season in many years! The pictures below are of the family, except Braden who was in daycare, waiting for the girls' ski instructor to show. this there's Claire with her tube headed up the rope tow at Brian Head. We joined Uncle John and Patti's family for a couple hours of sledding. Next is the condo, the cozy very small condo we stayed at. Dan is making hot chocolate and we are doing a puzzle. Hope everyone had good times this year. Thank you for all of your beautiful cards!

Our weekend...

Here are some pictures of what we have been up to this weekend. I went to Target to buy Christmas presents and took the girls because I didn't want to leave them long (Target is in StGeorge) so Claire saw what I bought her, the little kitchen and was dying to play with it. I caved because Dan is out of town, but I didn't realize how long it would take to put it up. All of the girls pitched in and actually did a fantastic job. It was completed by midnight and ended out to be a fun project for us to do together. Tonight (Sunday night) we dove into more projects and turned on some Christmas music-courtesy of xmradio- and Sami, Melody and I made sugar cookies for the neighbors and Jenee and Clarie wrapped gifts for some family friends. The pict of the girls out in the snow is a picture of them helping the neighbor kid get push his fourwheeler out of the snow :) How was your weekend?

Thanksgiving was at our house this year with Dan's family, 5 of his siblings (their families) and his parents. It was so fun!!
