New Year's Eve

New Year's Eve brought lots of friends and family, who came and went during the night. We had a delicious meal (when it was finally ready) and then ended up playing the wii for awhile (Austin’s Christmas gift). Wii boxing was probably the most entertaining to watch. I took a couple pics of Connor because I have yet to post about this new nephew (as of October). We ended up awake until about 1:30 a.m. It was fun just having family & friends around.

Trip to Rexburg

My little neice, Holly, was born a month early because she was having a really hard time growing. She came home from the hospital last week while we were in Logan, so we decided to take Christmas weekend and go up to visit her. We all had fun playing together and getting to know her a little better. She’s a month old, but still looks newborn. She was such a little miracle!

Little Mozart Part 2

Cadence got a little piano from his grandparents for Christmas. He LOVES it! What is really cute is he actually turns the pages of his songbook and moves his fingers like he's really playing something grand. In order to encourage him, I always clap when he plays. Sometimes if I don't pay attention to him right away, he'll go over to the piano and start playing because he's sure to get my attention then. He loves music so much.

Christmas 2009

After getting back from Logan, it seemed like Christmas was already over. Austin and I decided to open a present a day until Christmas. It was actually kind of fun and meant Cadence had plenty of time to enjoy a new present, before opening another. We are so grateful for all of the thoughtful gifts we received this year. We’ve had a fun time playing together with all of them.
