Eleanor's First Dance Class

Ellie started a creative dance/tumbling class at the beginning of the month and she kind of likes it. I expected her to be into it more, but I'm sure she will once she gets more comfortable.

My Mornings

I seriously love my little girls. They are pretty happy in the morning and I love just hanging out in bed with them.

My Valentines

I love Valentine's Day! What's not to love about showing your loved ones how much you love them. The house is decorated in pink and red and just makes me happy. 

Scarlett had her four month appointment in the morning, but after that the girls and I met Kevin for lunch. We came with balloons and peanut butter M&Ms. 

Kevin picked up Texas Roadhouse for dinner and we had a quiet evening at home. We watched Weird Al music videos and just laughed. 

Kevin tried to get me some Sees candy, but they were out the chocolate that I like, so he got me a gift card instead. Kevin got a gift card to Starbucks and some more candy. Ellie painted a canvas for him that says Love.

I went a little overboard with stuff for the girls, but I just love them so much.

And it was Scarlett's First Valentine's Day!

Christmas 2013

I am months behind on this, but better late than never. Christmas was a pretty low key event for us. It was nice to not worry about traveling and just enjoy our little family.

Christmas Eve we made "Christmas Trees" that were a big hit with Eleanor.

The girls then opened their gifts from mom and dad: pajamas of course!

Then we read The Night Before Christmas and Luke 2 and off Eleanor went to bed. 

I don't think I have ever been so excited for Christmas morning! 

The girls slept in late and I finally had to wake them up at 10 am, Kevin too. It was so much fun to see Eleanor's reaction to everything. Christmas really is better with kids!

Apparently I didn't take any pictures of the girls opening their other presents, but they got some great stuff.

I also got some great presents. Kevin spoiled me once again.

Kevin's big gift was a boat trip with his dad and brothers this summer. He is really excited.

We finished the day by taking a trip up to my aunt and uncle's house for a wonderful Christmas dinner.

Going for the Gold

We were pretty excited for the Olympics this year. Kevin served his mission in Russia, so he was really looking forward to the Opening Ceremonies. I heard about a free party going on in Provo for the Opening Ceremonies and we decided to go. It was actually a lot of fun. They had some crafts for the kids, free drinks and treats and two Olympic Gold Medalists doing meet and greets.

Posing with Derek Parra. Eleanor got to wear his gold medal. He was so nice.

This one is blurry, but we also got to meet Chad Hedrick. 

I am so glad we got to make some fun memories!
