Valentine's Day

My mom was having them try out their V-day outfits. She made D.'s dress, and P.'s vest, and A.'s parents gave I. the dress for her B-day, which I. had been saving to wear on V-day.
Julie directed me to a blog which had cool V-day hairstyles, so I did it for the girls.

We went to a temple sealing that day, so we had Aunt A. and Uncle D. babysit the kids, and Aunt A. took this picture for us after we got back and changed:

Before church the next day.

Baptism Day

January 31st, 2009
That's the dress my mom made me for my baptism in 1986. She did a good job preserving it!

Here We Are

I finally made it to Christmas!

On our way to carol to the Firemen

A.'s parents knew the right thing to get him.

Nutcraker and Family Picture

My super-awesome friend Laura gave us tickets to see a children's performance of The Nutcraker.
That's her son (he's blurry at the top).

Christmas Picture for the cards:

Christmas Tree Hunting throughout the years...

We found these pictures on the wall of the place from previous years:

I wanted to have the owner in the picture for memories. We've been going since 1987 or so. About 20 years!

Fun at Walmart and P.'s stuffed animals

P. has never latched on to any stuffed animals, but for some reason this lamb from Bath and Body Works totally captivated him. Thank goodness it was free with my "purchase" which I was able to make with a gift card I got from my Birthday! YAY! AND I was able to get the girls lip glosses for free because of a sale, and I got a coupon at the end that knocked off some of the total. I totally scored!
