Fun in the Sun

Over the holiday weekend, the gals and I escaped the inversion with my mom and some of the Andie's and headed for sunny St. George. To say we had a great time would be an understatement! We were able to visit with family and friends- it was so good to see each and every one of them. We enjoyed some shopping, grandma spoiled the gals (and me) rotten! Thanks mom!!! (The gals LOVE their grandma- in fact the night we got home Gracie had a come apart when her grandma left. She bawled for quite awhile and woke up in the morning bawling because she wanted her grandma so I had to call my mom and see if we could meet during her lunch so Gracie could see her.) We enjoyed the sun- I had to buy Brooklyn a pair of flip-flops because all I brought us were our boots. The gals love going to the temple grounds and walking around and going through the visitor's center. We went on Sunday and it was delightful! The gals keep asking, "can we go back to St. George?" It was a fun get-away and probably my last until this new little baby joins our family. Thanks everyone for your help with the gals- they love you! Gracie has really turned into quite the funny little gal. She made a few classic comments during the trip that I don't think will die. My cousin Marlee was getting ready and Gracie looks at her and says, "you look terrible." And then awhile later she looked at her and said, "you look funny." So the rest of the trip we would look at each other and inform one other that they looked terrible. I guess I should start working on tact. :)

We went shopping and Gracie shopped til she dropped!

New Year's

(Way late post- but I am posting anyway.) We had our usual New Year's Eve party at my aunt Paula's house. We had good food, good treats, and good company! The gals had a blast and loved ringing in the New Year. Here's to a GREAT year!

At this point, Brooklyn had worn herself right out and was tired!

Garrett and Gracie loved "cheers"

Sugar and Spice...

and everything nice. That's what little girls are made of. And don't we know that! These 2 cuties are so happy to announce that they will be having another little sister joining our family in May!
