Puppet Show

We accompanied a group of preschooler friends to a puppet show in Denver. I think the kids had a good time. After the play they were able to make a paper puppet of their own and play with the extra puppets in the studio. The lady running the show was a little honery, she would freeze the puppets if there was ANY noise in the audience. We went to lunch afterwards, which is of course my favorite. Syd was upset because we went to Quizno's and not Arbys?@#????

Forever Friends

Whitney and Makenna are Rylie and Abbys oldest friends (a whole 4 years) from back home. We have been fortunate enough to keep the friendship going through visits back and forth. The girls got together over Christmas for the last time in what will probably be a long time. Our dear friends are moving to Hawaii. What a great opportunity for them, but a sad thought for my girls. We wish them the best of luck in their move, and hope that our paths might cross again one day.

Holiday Breakdown

We spent Christmas Eve at my house. They left food for the reindeer, made marshmallow Christmas wreaths, and opened the traditional present, pj's from Aaron's parents.


Santa brought the girls cameras. We have pictures of light fixtures, drawings, all sorts of fun stuff to help us remember every detail.

The day after Christmas we pulled the snowmobiles out and gave the kids a ride. They enjoyed it, but didn't last very long before they'd had enough.

Aaron and I are fortunate enough to have both sets of grandparents still with us. Three of the four sets live in Idaho. The top two are Aarons grandparents, the bottom pic is of my dad parents and my mom's parents are currently in Las Vegas.

The top picture is of all of my nieces and nephews at my moms house watching a movie just before bed. The quietest you will ever see this bunch!! The bottom picture is at Aaron's house New Years Eve. The kids were still brushing their teeth when the New York ball was dropping. So they began the new year with clean teeth!!


Over all it was a lovely holiday! We are very blessed to have such great families and enjoyed the time we were able to spend with everyone!!
