The Happiest Place on Earth

Last weekend we went to Disneyland. Leah and Annie performed with their gymnastic team at California Adventure on Saturday morning and then we got to play the rest of the weekend (The girls were so excited to hit the rides after their performance that I didn't get one picture of them in costume with their medals-oops). We had a great time. The first day and half we had beautiful weather, however, we did experience some rain. the second half of our time there. We tried to make the best of a somewhat soggy situation. We met a lot of fun characters, rode some wild rides, and ate some yummy food. It was a fantastic trip.

Snow Days

While in the frigid weather, we took the girls and went sledding. It was actually quite enjoyable. Lucy slept for most of the time in her pink marshmallow suit. Annie went down the hill twice (once voluntarily and once by force). Leah loved it and went down the hill many times.

to go down the hill with me once and she was not happy!) Lucy enjoying the adventure

Christmas

We stayed home for Christmas this year and then went to Utah the following day. We had a great time. Brian's mom and dad came down to help us celebrate. We were spoiled and I think my girls were pretty pleased with the things that Santa left for them.

Slacker

I have been informed that people have been checking my blog only to find nothing new, so I will try and rectify the situation. At the beginning of December, I ran in the Great Santa 5K Run in Las Vegas. All participants got a Santa suit to wear while running. It was quite fun to be part of such a big event. It was a bit difficult to really break free and run because there were so many people, but the atmosphere was super fun. It was definitely something I will attempt again next year and hopefully I will be able to recruit more peeps to join the fun.

Me and my running peeps All done!
