Moving Week

I just had to take a quick break from packing to post this. It really cracked me up...I hope it makes you laugh too!

Oh, we're moving to North Y Mount housing (BYU campus in Provo, Ut) this Saturday. More pictures to come.

She's a Natural Ballerina

Maren wears her adorable tutu Grandma Bryce gave to her for Christmas, made by Katy Bryce. I turn on classical music and she dances away. I thought it would be fun to put her in ballet, but I'm afraid "they" will ruin her natural abilies. I love to watch her dance, I forget all about what I need to be doing and watch Maren dance. She is so graceful and beautiful and I love her so much!

This is my favorite...so Angelic, so Graceful, so Peaceful.

Here Comes the Sun!!
When we got home from Arizona, it was cold. Have you ever seen the temperature in your car read -5? Well, I did and it was scary. It snowed for several days and the clouds would not go away!

Finally, the sun came out to play and so did we!

Snow Angels

Eating snow, aka, keeping well hydrated.

After Jorden got home from school we went

outside again and shoveled the driveway

Look at all that snow! You Arizona people are thinking "how pretty" right? Well, not when it's 14 degrees at 9am and you're taking your daughter to preschool, loading up all 3 kids, and scraping your car, getting the car unstuck, and driving on ice. Okay, so I need to make an attitude adjustment about snow. The sunny days are really fun....I just hope there's enough to keep me sane through the winter!

Christmas & New Years in Arizona

We were very blessed to spend 2 weeks in Arizona with our families. This year all my siblings and their families were there! My mom and dad, 7 kids, 4 spouses, and 8 grandchildren. For New Years we had 2 parties with the Marbles, Biglers, and Friends. Enjoy!

Christmas Eve in our matching pjs. Jeff&Jenn's family not pictured because they were feeling sick, sorry, I just had to post the picture anyway! Love you.
