christmas

The girls waited patiently to come downstairs.
Whitney spent her first Christmas sick. This was as enthusiastic as she got all day.

We surprised Kinzie with a pink cell phone. She was so shocked that she burst into tears.

Temple Square Christmas Lights

Isn't the temple beautiful at night.

Whitney was so bundled up that she couldn't move. When we would talk to her only her eyes would move towards our voices.


We rode downtown on Trax. The girls loved it.

Whitney didn't make a sound all night. She just stared at everything. As much as I complained about going out in the cold. I must admit the lights were beautiful.

Thanksgiving in Arizona

While in Arizona we visited a ghost town.
Here's Whitney playing with Hunter's book.

Whitney's first taste of mashed potatoes and yams.

Our FAVORITE restaurant in Arizona. Gecko's. Yum yum!!

Grandpa Clark owes ICE CREAM!

GO UTES!!
Whitney and I stayed home while everyone else went to the game.

Kinzie and Grandpa Clark had a bet that if BYU lost he has to buy her ice cream.

Grandpa Smith and Kinzie at the game.

Virginia Project

Kinzie had to do a report on the state of Virginia. She also had to do a project of choice to represent the state. We chose to do a parade float. Thanks to Grandpa Hodgson we had a Cannon to go on top.

This is the state flower the Dogwood.

This is the state seal.

And finally, the state bird the Cardinal. The float was a success Mckinzie's teacher asked to keep it to display in the classroom for future students.

I couldn't resist snapping this picture. I guess if telling the baby to open her mouth for food doesn't work then just open your own mouth.

For Kinzie's late night we decorated Halloween cookies.

The girls popped popcorn and watch College Road Trip.

Weekend In Park City

Before we went to Park City we took Whitney on her first Rhino ride. She rode in the backseat with Gracie.
Aren't these sisters adoreable?

It was so cold up in Park City that the first night we stayed in and ate snacks. You probably could have guessed that the baby was eyeing dad's popcorn!
