Howdy Friends!

Well, it's been a while, but life is going good. I'm sure you're wondering about how our Thanksgiving went. j/k Gosh that seems like it was a long time ago. We hosted Thanksgiving this year and it was lovely. I finished another semester at BYU (after some finals week chaos of realizing a 10-page paper was no longer saved on my computer 2 1/2 hours before it was due and driving on super-nasty roads to make it to a final). Needless to say everything turned out just fine and I'm getting closer to graduation...12 credits after this semester. Hip Hip Hooray! I'm getting antsy to be done. We had a fantastic Christmas and enjoyed time with family. The girls were tons of fun on Christmas morning. I loved picking out their presents this year- I had a hard time stopping. Chris got me some XC skis and we went skiing on New Years Day. It was way fun. I'm sure it would have been quite entertaining watching me. I did not have very good rhythm when I tried to go fast, but I made it all the way up the trail and down again. I'm sure I'll get it down when we go a few more times. On the way down we skiied in the powder instead of on the trail. Granted we didn't have very much control. Here are some pics of our gracefulness.

January seems to always kind of drag on, but because of the nice weather it hasn't been bad at all. I've been able to take the girls out for walks and it's been really nice. We started a preschool with Kaylee where several moms in the neighborhood just take turns teaching. We also started dance class this week. Kaylee is the oldest in the class and she has taken it upon herself to help everyone else do the right moves. It's pretty funny watching her. Here are some pics of Kaylee and all her little princess friends. This is when we invited one friend over and three magically appeared.

Well, life is good. I hope everyone is enjoying the new year!
