Roommate lunch

Each year our dear friend & former roommate from college, Lari, puts together a lunch date. It's really become something I look forward to & I am grateful she's my "organized" friend to keep on top of this! I think when you are a roommate you always think there will be time to get-together, but as our families have grown & grown up, it's gets a little more difficult to find a time, but we somehow pull it off. Out of 7 roommates we were able to get 5 there - Becky, Tricia, Lari, KyLee & I - we missed Lori & Chrissy. We spent over two hours just gabbing about everything going on in life. It's really such a wonderful thing that we have been able to stay close & to get the high & low lights of everyone's life. I am grateful to have roommates who are friends - we had some really funny times together. Usually we gab about those college times, but yesterday seemed to be a time to talk about what each of us are up to & how our families are doing. We have ended up all living in Utah, we have a load of kids between the 7 of us, we are all married & I must say to some wonderful guys! It's nice to be able to talk to some amazing women who have done amazing things in their lives & I look up to each of them as wonderful examples to me! Thanks again girls for the fun afternoon! I love ya & I look forward to getting together next year.

Basketball Season

Aspen & Madi are teammates this year! They even have their dad/uncle as their coach!

Aunt DD came out & was able to cheer at Kel & McCoy's games. She's the best cheerleader for her nieces & nephews!

Kel & McCoy after playing their games. They both played so great! They had fun, they blocked shots, made baskets & one of the best parts is the treat at the end of the game!!

Picking a winner!!

We took the kids to a movie & while waiting to get treats we noticed this cute Alvin & the Chipmunks display. So I sent them over to take some photos - which I thought turned out really cute. I had to put my fav on here of my niece inspecting one of the chipmunks nose - you never know what great things you could find up there :) funny stuff!!

Snow Day!!

Nothing like playing in the snow with your cousins!

Christmas Jammies!!

Jammies from Grandma & Grandpa!! We had a nice Christmas Eve get-together & it's so much fun to finally open a present. The jammies were perfect & very comfy!!

Our lil' dancer

Here's our little dancer girl! Kel was thrilled to try out & model her new dance costume. In December she performed in her dance studio's Christmas dance program they do each year. She's quite a beautiful dancer & we love watching her perform. We look forward to a busy dance season this year where we will be able to watch her compete.

Makin' graham cracker houses

One Sunday we got all creative and made graham cracker houses with our girls and their cousin Mercedes. They had a ball & really came up with some cute houses! Aspen's house included a pond for fishing & a sunbathing chair with an umbrella. Kel had a snowman she made out of marshmallows & a gumball/nerds walk way. Mercedes made a snowman & she loved the little umbrellas which she put on her house in a few different spots.
