St. Patrick's Day

We had a fun time celebrating St. Patrick's Day. The girls woke up to green colored milk. I told them that a leprechaun had come in the night and turned the milk green. Annie said that hers tasted like apple pie. We also had a green dinner. We had potato soup (colored green), green jello, green Kool-aid, and greed cupcakes. It was a fun day. p.s. Leah helped me label the pictures.

Lost Tooth

Leah lost her first tooth a few weeks ago. When she discovered that a tooth was loose, she was overjoyed. She has been waiting for this moment for years (literally). She has been pretending to have a loose tooth forever. I thought that when she actually lost her first tooth it would be somewhat anticlimatic, but I was wrong. When I asked her how she felt after her tooth came out she said she felt like a new person. This is just the beginning of losing teeth (the one next to it is loose now), so we will look forward to more to come.

What a big girl!

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.
