Blessing Day

I just wanted to post a couple of pics from Lilly's blessing day for Grandma in Brazil. We should have thought to take our camera out while family was still here but I guess we don't think that way. Lilly did great during the blessing (even though the pictures tell a different story) and we had a fabulous time with family and friends. Thanks again for everyone for making the trip and spending time with us!





Here's a few of the girls during the photo shoot this afternoon.



Here's a picture of what it's been doing the whole afternoon here in Payson. It's been snowing for 4 straight hours and we're not sure it's going to let up. We just put down gravel in front of our house (so glad that we got it down yesterday - thanks Doug and neighbor) too bad it's now covered by 3 inches of snow!

Here's a bonus one of our Candy Land game this afternoon. We think Sophia might be a little too young to get the concept.

He did it again

I just wanted to post a picture of one of my favorite Christmas gifts. My sweet husband did a sketch of Lilly. He did one of Sophia when she was a baby as a Christmas gift and it brought me to tears. I told him he had to make a habit out of it and do one for each of our children. He told me that he was too busy this Christmas and that he wouldn't be able to get one done. He surprised me though and I love it! He's the greatest husband ever! Lilly's frame is not quite complete yet. We want to include a picture of my grandma that she was named after. Enjoy!

Pretty Good Day

I just wanted to post a couple from our fabulous day yesterday! Sophia's favorite gift (aside from her new bicycle) was an IKEA art easel that uncle Jeffy gave her. She loved it and colored for a few hours on it right after she got it. Thanks Jeffy! The girls also got new pajamas and enjoyed those as well.




Here's Doug with his favorite gift. Thanks Leda!

Here's a picture of the "Bouche de Noel" (Yule Log) cake that I made. It was complete with meringue mushrooms. I was pretty proud of myself.

This is a tea set that my mom gave to Lilly. It belonged to her mom (my grandma Lilly that we named Lilly after). My mom figured it was about 80 years old. I don't think that I'll give it to Lilly until she gets married or sometime around there. What a treasure. Thanks again mom!

Wise Men

Here's a quick one of Sophia telling me about the wise men. Enjoy!
