I'm mad!

We've seen an awful lot of this face. Thanks a lot, Daniel Tiger! 12/6/16

Just Keep Swimming

I'm so glad the pool is close to our house, but won't be sad when they build a new rec center.
I'm also so thankful that Jared is helping them be comfortable in the water. He's such a good daddy. I didn't go swimming that time since don't nobody want to see this body in a swimsuit! 12/8/16

Caroline is getting pretty good at moving through the water.  12/16/16

Family Christmas Photo

This was when I thought I might send out Christmas cards....
and if I hadn't had a baby 2 days later I might have. 12/11/16

 Snow child

Caroline is her father's daughter and LOVES the snow.  She just rolls in it and is SO excited to see it.

This is what it looks like when we don't put Caroline in bed for a nap.
Maybe we're not quite ready to end afternoon naps just yet...

Christmas Festivities

All three kiddos at Provo Town Center Mall. We had a 15 minute wait before we could go to Red Robin. The only thing that would even tempt us to go to the mall this close to Christmas would be food. 12/23/16

We traditionally have gone to temple square to see Christmas lights but with cold temps and a newborn we didn't really feel that was the best option this year.  Hoping that the Provo City Center temple would have lights we went there. They had a nice nativity, but no lights.  Thankfully, Provo main street did have some lights and Caroline was able to touch them (she'd been asking to touch lights for weeks). 12/22/16

After the lights we went to Bruges Belgian Waffles and had a treat. 12/22/16

We did our Christmas morning business on Christmas Eve.  I figured with church and flying to South Carolina on Christmas day it would have been more stressful than fun to open presents on the actual Christmas morning.
