Christmas 2008

On Christmas Eve we usually go out to dinner with my family and then go downtown to see the lights on Temple Square. This year we went to Red Robin...yum, yum...and then we bundled up and headed for the lights. It was fun, and uneventful. Last year we didn't get to go downtown because there was a huge snowstorm on Christmas Eve. This year the weather decided to wait until Christmas to let the snow loose, and boy did it!


We spent Christmas morning with my family and it was a fun year with both girls. Lauren was really into opening presents for the first time in her short life! And Audrey finally understands who Santa Claus is, so that was fun to watch too! We hope that all of you had a fun and safe Christmas holiday with your families!

Sisters, Sisters...

...there were never such devoted sisters! These two really make me smile lately. Lauren is finally becoming a play companion for Audrey, and now they spend all day playing together. They have such a great time!

A Few Pics and the Festival

So...first off, I took some random pictures of the girls this week. Audrey loves to wear my shoes...and it's pretty obnoxious tripping over them all day because she drags them all over the house and leaves them right where I need to walk! I'm sure you all have been there, done that. But, this week she tried on my knee-high boots, and they were a big success. They go all the way to the top of her legs and she thinks it's the greatest ever. Now, it's a daily occurrence. Don't mind the dirty face...



And Lauren loves to wear my knit beanie...and she looks like a dolly in it so I had to take a pic...



My friend Kammie and I went to The Festival of Trees last week to find a tree that her Aunt had done in honor of her cousin who recently died in a car accident. We found the tree...and a few other fun things.

Here's the tree dedicated to Kammie's cousin Shayna...


This is a very cool glass tree, all hand made. It had different color lights behind it that came on and were synced to music. Very cool.



And, especially for my sis Jessica...some fun gingerbread houses...or castles. I didn't know at the time that this first one, is supposed to be Bella's house from Twilight. See Edward in the tree? How cheesy! I didn't notice until I saw the little sign at the bottom that says "Forks" in it...I swear!
