it's a lime

Yay...we made it to 12 weeks! Not too much sickness and I feel my energy coming back. Now maybe I can finally get all the things on my to.do.list DONE!

Christmas and Birthdays

We were in Utah from Dec 19 to Dec 26 for Christmas this year. I wish I had done two things differently...
1. stayed LONGER and
2. taken more pictures.
Here are at least a few to remember the trip. We were able to meet the newest Bergstrom baby, Olivia. She reminds me a little of a mix between mclayne and cole as newborns. But she definitely has her own look and is gorgeous!
We also went to see the lights on Christmas Eve. Luckily, it wasn't very cold, but we did miss our red tree.












Once we were home it was time to get ready for the two birthdays. This year we kept it simple for Cole and just went to dinner. He did get PLENTY of presents though, and that's really all he cared about. I was going to take him to Chuck E Cheese for the first time also, but mclayne got sick, so we had to postpone it. I can't wait.;)

Since Mclayne turned five, we decided to do a big Tangled party for her. It turned out better than I could have expected (especially the cake), and everyone had a great time! The best part was we had it at a bounce place, so no cleaning! We had 22 kids and three days later still haven't opened all the presents.
I also loved that when they called her up at the beginning of the party she was SO shy...reminded me so much of my niece Kylee. The big hug she got from Kyle at the end was pretty cute too!

We lit the candles and then the helper walked the cake to Mclayne at the thrown and she blew out the candles. What a princess.
