Christmas 2014

It is always an exciting day to wake up on Christmas morning and see what Santa brought!

Christmas Traditions

Some of the girls' favorite Christmas traditions are decorating the Christmas tree and making gingerbread houses (or trains)!

Antelope Island

Over Thanksgiving weekend, I decided to take the girls to Antelope Island.  They had never been there before and even though it was a little chilly, we got to explore the beach and see some buffalo and deer!

First Day of School

Wow, how each year flies by!  Emma off to 5th grade and Brielle off to 2nd grade!

Bear Lake

This year we rented a house for a few nights in Bear Lake with our friends, the Oliver family & Coombs family.  We had a blast at the lake riding wave runners, paddling kayaks & paddle boards, building sand castles, eating, and relaxing!  We also went to explore the Paris ice caves and found a nature center that had a ton of hummingbirds!  It was a perfect way to end the summer!

Ogden Temple Open House

Since we live in the Ogden Temple district, Nick & I were able to help with the temple open house as an usher (me) and security guard (Nick).  Of course, we also took the girls through the open house which was so peaceful and gorgeous!

Flower Girls

My girls were flower girls for Blake & Sarah's wedding.  They had the cutest matching dresses and they felt pretty special to be included.  Aren't they beautiful?
