Shhhhh!

We were sitting in sacrament today and Hallee was sitting in the middle of Mike and I. Addie was sitting on our friend Kimbers lap. Mike was watching her during the prayer and Hallee opened her eyes and said "Dad close your eyes." She then closed her eyes and then opened them turned back and said "Oh, and fold your arms too." Ha, ha. He was caught. I started laughing. What a good little girl we have.

Christmas Holiday

We had so much fun in Utah. We were there a little over a week. We are so thankful to be back at home. Here are some of the fun things we did while we were there.
Addie was able to make a mess everywhere. She ended up getting marker all over her clothes at Mikes parents house. Grandma Kathy had some 3-6 months clothes stored away that Add was able to wear while her clothes were in the wash. She loved the little bow that come with it.
Hallee and the girl cousins all received vests from Gdma Kathy. They love them and they all looked so cute in them. Addie and Kymbree both got cute princess coats. They were so cute in them. They both gave there Aunt Shari a hug after opening them and she was thrilled. We all love Shari.
We took a short trip up to the cabin. We were able to visit Mikes cousin up there too. They rented a cabin close to ours so we were able to go and visit and play. Hallee loved the snow. We had so much fun on the tube and making snow angels. Addie on the other hand hated the snow and I think she is officially a desert girl.
Mike and Hallee were able to make a snowman in my parents yard and had a blast. Addie did go outside that day and I think she had a little fun in the snow. It wasn't until the day we were leaving that she decided that she liked the snow a little bit.
My parents gave the girls a playhouse for Christmas. It stays at Meme and Papas house so they have something to play with there.
We had a fantastic time at fondue with Mikes family and were so glad to see all of them. It makes us really miss family. We loved being able to spend time with loved ones and are so grateful for the holidays. We hope all of you had a great holiday too.

Gingerbread Houses

We had a fun time decorating gingerbread houses with friends. I think we will make this a tradition every year.

Christmas lights

We went and saw the Christmas lights with our friends the Grays. It wasn't that cold, but we still made an effort to bundle up.
We decided that since we were going to travel to UT for Christmas that we better give our girls the present that couldn't come back with us. We had a fake Christmas Eve in AZ. The girls got to open new pjs that night. I made a Christmas breakfast and they got to open the kitchen that Mike and I got them. Santa is coming to UT and will bring them his presents on Christmas. They loved it and have been playing with it all day.
We are so grateful for this time of year and the great friends that we have made to make it so much fun.

Thanksgiving

We traveled home for the holiday. We played with family and friends and had a great time. I was really bad on taking pictures, but I will be better at Christmas. Time was short, but so much fun.

On another note, Hallee and Addie are playing great together. For the most part they are great friend. They have started playing games together and I love it.

The power of prayer.

Hallee is so cute. We were in Utah for Thanksgiving and left Sat afternoon. The weather was great until we hit the 20. It was snowing and the roads started to get a little scary. Mike was a little nervous and Hallee could tell. Out of no where she started praying. The prayer was so sweet. She asked that we would be safe and that it would stop snowing. Well it didn't stop, but we got home safe.
When we had gotten home Mike had taken the car seats apart to wash the covers. When he went to go put them back together we couldn't find one part. Hallee started praying
again. She asked that we would find the part so her car seat wouldn't have to go in the garbage. I love that Hallee knows what to do when she needs help.

Halloween Night

We went to our ward party and had so much fun. The kids got to play all kind of games to get candy. Addie slept most of the time, but woke up for trick or treating.

I also put in random pictures from October.

Hallee loved trick-or-treating with all of her friends. Addie was pretty good at going to the door too. They both loved it. After all was said and done it was a great Halloween! Sorry for so many pictures!
