Girls

Eden loves putting on these sunglasses. She thinks she is so funny. Anna loves pushing Eden around in the baby stroller and feeding her breakfast. I am grateful that Eden and Anna like to play with each other. They get to spend lots of time together.

Baptism

On December 29 Andrew was baptized in Sandy with all of our family there. It was a great experience. Andrew thinks he will always remember the spider in the baptismal font and that the water was cold. Cindy and Dad gave talks and all the cousins sang a song, which Andrew accompanied.

Happy Birthday

Melanie gave me BYU pajama pants and a BYU shirt for Christmas. You can never have too much of a good thing!

Andrew sang: "Happy Birthday, BYU. Happy Birthday, BYU. Happy Birthday, BYU. Go Cougars!" to the tune of "Happy Birthday".

Theme Days

My kids have a lot of themed days at school, which are fun and annoying. They get to dress up, which is a huge change from their regular uniforms, and they have food, which is annoying for the parents. Elizabeth had Egyptian Day and a Thanksgiving Feast and Andrew had Native American Day. Elizabeth wore make-up, which she cried and rubbed off before we made it to school because her costume wasn't quite up to her expectations. Andrew liked his costume and said that everyone enjoyed the smoked turkey cubes that was our contribution. Elizabeth brought pumpkin cookies and was too shy to tell why she likes pumpkin cookies. She did sing a great song with her class. Now we are preparing for Viking Day. Not sure how to do that one yet.

Go BYU!

Eden, Jeff and I wore our BYU blue to watch the big game last night. Our other girls now want their own BYU shirts to wear. When I asked Andrew if he is a BYU fan, he said, "I think so." We need to work on that. What I like about this picture? My counters are clean and dinner is in the crockpot.
