Snow Days

While it snowed some 15 inches this is what we did.  Abby has been asking for pink hair for the last 6 or 7 months so I gave in and she chose a light pink to go in her hair.  Then since Abby was getting to choose the movies and treats Maggie wanted a turn.  So she hopped in the chair and said it was her turn so she got extensions too.  We put beads in her hair to make it a little different and of course shorter because she doesn't have much hair to begin with. Zack loved all the snow and couldn't wait to play out in it.  He liked being able to build a fort from the piled up snow from the driveway.

As I have loaded pictures there are so many other pictures I want to share because they are what our life is like normally.  So here are a bunch of pictures from the last little while.

Maggie can't stay away from the camera.

Funny faces.

As you can see there are a lot of pictures of Maggie.  She loves the camera and is such a funny girl that we tend to get a lot of pictures of her.

No More Twins

Right after Christmas was Abby's 3rd birthday.  She was so excited about her birthday.  She picked out a Little Mermaid cake because it is swimming.  We also went swimming and then she wanted to go have taco's and fries for dinner.  She is not a kid that likes McDonalds.  She likes tacos so that is what she got.  Here are a few pictures of her birthday.

Our Swimming cake for our little Swimmer.

You may notice that this looks like the same doll that Maggie got for her birthday.  It is.  I got them both one so they can't fight over it.

Busy Christmas Season

We had a busy Holiday season this year.  We started the Holiday's with Zack riding on a float in the Lehi Christmas Parade and then singing with his choir at the tree lighting.  The next week his group sang at the Joseph Smith Memorial Building.  It was really cool to listen to.

Tree Lighting

After Zack was done singing at the JSMB we walked around Temple Square and looked at the lights.  Since it was so unseasonably warm the kids got hot in their coats and took them off while we were looking at the different lights.  I don't think I have ever been that warm when looking at the lights at Temple Square. 

Towards the end No Coats.

 

The beginning with coats

Zack also had his big concert with the choir and a school program where he did a reader's theater for the parents.  He was a busy kid during the month.  Also on a side note because it has to do with Zack his 2nd grade class voted him class president and one of his ideas to help the class with their reading made it all the way to the principal and she is having all the classes do it.  We are really proud of him and his talent of helping others to be their best. 
Back to Christmas.  The kids couldn't wait for Santa Claus to come and loved wrapping presents for everyone.  The girls were really good about leaving the gifts alone but Maggie and the cat regularly redecorated the tree.  I was surprised that there were any ornaments left on the tree by Christmas morning.  When we took the tree down many of them were on the floor around the tree.  Not only did she love the ornaments but she and Abby loved to play with the miniature nativity set we have.  When everything was put away Mary and Joseph were missing.  I still haven't come across them, but I am hoping they show up by next Christmas.  Maybe they are stashed in someone's drawer? Anyway here are some pictures from Christmas:

After putting the tree up before it was redecorated.

Another 2yr old

In the middle of November we celebrated Maggie's 2nd birthday.  She was really excited to have a Tangled cake and balloons.  Having two 2 year olds in the house has been quite an experience.  There is always mischief to get into and if it isn't one or the other it is both.  Here are a few pictures of the little birthday girl.

Halloween and other stuff

Halloween was a lot of fun.  The kids enjoyed going trick or treating. Maggie really like picking all the dandelions along the way.  We have also been busy with football this fall.  Zack had a good season he scored a couple of touchdowns and was able to learn a lot from the coaches.  Here are some pictures from what we have been doing this fall.
