wow...here we go

Starting off we move back to December 18th, Abby had her first big girl birthday party where only friends were invited! The meal for this princess themed party was pb&j sandwiches...doesn't sound hat fancy but the bread was pink and they were shaped liked hearts and flowers!!! All of the sweet princesses eating and watching Cinderella

Blowing out the candles

Skipping ahead to the 19th of December...we did Christmas with the Keddingtons as we were going to be in Arizona with my family for actual Christmas. Also, Abby's 4th Birthday!! She is getting too OLD! Back to xmas...the girls got BIKES!!! And loved them!!

Lyla on her trike

We got Daddy this 21 picture holding frame and packed it with favorites from this past year of life...He loved it!!

Fast forward to December 25th...now I have a TON of photos from Christmas morning but I just posted a couple...here is Lyla with the present she wanted from Santa!

Here is Abby with the present she wanted from Santa!

Here is our family shot by the tree at my parents house...we only got one shot so this is as good as it gets!! My cousin Rachel made the super cute ties that Spencer and Max are wearing and my cousin Amanda gave me the idea for the flower belt and headbands that I made for the girls and I...I am so pleased with how they turned out!

We got this last minute shot of all the girls together...it was a happy and sad moment all at the same time... It's been a while since these girls were together as AJ and Nikki moved to Texas this past summer. They had so much fun playing together and we can't wait till we see them again in California this summer!!

Abby and Lyla with Grammie and Papa!!

Here are Abby and Lyla in the Christmas outfits that my Grandma got for them! They are so cute!! Thanks Great Grammie!!

And these are the outfits that my mom got for the girls for Christmas! Thanks Grammie!!

Last week we (Spencer) let the girls go outside and play in the snow...here they are before heading out!

They wanted to make ANGELS like they had seen on Special Agent Oso, so here is Abby...

Her ANGEL

And Lyla...

Her ANGEL

Then Spence let the girls go wild and just play in the snow...I would never have let them do this!! But they had fun and really enjoyed themselves!!

A little snowman that Daddy helped them build. It has a carrot nose and M&M eyes...lets just say that after this pic Lyla ate the nose and then both Abby and Lyla ate his eyes! Didn't last long you poor little snowman!!

This is what Max and I were doing while the girls were outside with Daddy....smiling in the warm living room!!

Here is a shot of Max from the other morning...he is getting to big TOO FAST!! Makes me sad!

Sitting up in the Bumbo

I can't believe my baby is already 4 months old...you blink and they are all grown up. Abby keeps telling me that she is a big girl and that I am going to be sad when she grows up...she has no idea how right she is. In fact, I almost always cry after she says this to me. Wow, the wonders of being a mommy. Life is good! Spencer and I are slowly but surely coming up on our 6th wedding anniversary and I can't believe how it has snuck up on us! We have a 4 year old a 2 year old and a 4month old to keep us busy. We wouldn't have it any other way!! Life is good, God is Great. We are so grateful for all of the blessings we have and for the wonderful opportunity we have to be members of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints!
