Gwinna had a long morning of being in her first Silva Injury Law video with her grinchy dad! Overall she had a lot of fun & is already excited for the next:)
Early in December (or maybe late November) we found & fell in love with these babies!
They will coming home with us on January 10th!!! We are crazy people. Fudge’s name will be changed to Jack (as in Jack Skellington) and Chip’s will be Frankie (short for Frankenstein)
So I did a silly thing and drove by our old house here in Provo after the temple one morning & then I sat in front of it and cried (thinking of me and Gwinna looking out that front bay window during a stormy night)
“I’m a stupid woman.” Ha!
Such a better time when the girls participate in the elf adventuring!
Love my Noelle’s tiny drawings every season for my phone!!
Sia was our girl for Christmas tree setting up and decor AND she helped me with Michael Joe’s Coca Cola train this year that drove me INSANE!
Hehe. Fun texting Gwinna these things. Which, by the by, she watched ALL of the last episodes with us UNFILTERED & then all of the filtering for my Sia the next day.
Noelle is just not interested;)
So I must be real here. There were good moments & then there were moments I wished I had stayed home…I am just NOT a party person in the slightest.
Not sure…
We have the coolest leaders here. Sia’s activity day leader dropped off a premade pop tart house for her to decorate!! AMAZE.
Barrett gifties❤❤❤
We CRAFTED. A miracle.
This was so fun & I learned a lot from our awesome cookie decorating teacher!
First phase of braces OFF! Yay!!! She got a big cup of candy & a HUGE bowl of dole whip:)
She likes to do things, this one;)
This girl. She recently joined this art school & they still let her perform at the mall with them for the Christmas performance.
I cried. The end.
Sugar cookie decorating & fried potato girl night 💛
I do love hanging out with my gals.
These beauties. Such a sweet, cozy Christmas ward breakfast.
Sia on the right ;)
WHOLE gym to ourselves. Sia asked for a “friend” birthday this year. ‘Twas fun. Massive chocolate cake, root beer, lots of crazy music and running around and games for two hours!
Caroling with our youth family! Too fun…overshadowed later by ALL of us getting sick from one child ;)
Sushi for our Sia birthday dinner.
Twas not the worst Christmas ever but it was pretty miserable.
Not a lot of energy but still good moments.
Noelle and Gwinna both got loud & excited about hues and cues game from Wilder this year!
The New Year sit around reading gratitude moments was much betta than Christmas.
So necessary to look back and remember why our lives are so very good!
