January...So Far

Happy 2013! Sparklers outside on a frigid night. Oh wait, all of January has been frigid. 

Say it ain't so. 

Oh yeah, THERE's my car. 

A massive snow storm buried me inside the house for a couple days.  Major cabin fever. 

So I wasn't sad at all to head to St. George for work for a week.
It was in the 40's but that was a heat wave compared to home. I will take the sunshine, yes I will. 

View of the valley. 

Then KK and Mini KK decided to head down and join me for some sun. 

How cute are these two. 

See that sliver of an opening behind me?
KK tried to get me to hike through it insisting I would fit.
I told her I didn't want to have to cut off my arm, no thank you.  

Me and Mini KK.

Ain't she cute. 

Thanks for the shot KK.

AAAAAND now I'm back to this. Nasty inversion.  Please go away winter.
We've had enough. MMkay thanks. 

What is this you ask? Again the nasty inversion, only driving at night.
Yes, yes you're right...Can't see jack squat.

Oy ve, it's not even February yet. 

Christmas Festivities

Spent Christmas in Boise.  Always a good time.

First things first.  Annual cookie decorating contest.  The judges deliberating over the entries.
cough*choose the snowman*cough

Excuse Me?  My hipster snowman got honorable mention?
With glasses, mustache, tie, scarf, and unspoken white skinny jeans.

The judges said I couldn't win every year so they said I have to go pro.  Hmph.

Allison won in two categories.
cough*her dad is a judge*cough
Just kidding, that candle is pretty dang good.

Gracie and her mad skills.

Cute Heather. 

Lauren won Best Brown-Noser Cookie. 

Nativity Scene by the Kids. 

Allie back in her festive get-up.  Her necklace even lit up. 

Let's take a closer look at those socks shall we. 

Okay, time for a dance party. 

And we couldn't let the new version of Just Dance 4 go to waste.  Mmhmm.

"Totes Awk" as Allie would say.  Hahaha

Fierce Determination.

Not pictured: Grace and Jessica's amazing "I've Had the Time of My Life" rendition dance.  Complete with
an attempted lift at the end.  Standing ovation. 

Heather resting up before her next dance. 

Oh yeah.
Also not pictured: the million board games we played, the million hashtags we said
Just came home yesterday and already missing this crew.

Christmas Lights

Quick trip to see the lights when Jody and crew
came through SL for Thanksgiving.

I am pretty sure the boys loved the lights.

The reflecting pond.

AJ was hard to get on camera he kept running away. Action shot.  Ha.

Lil Nate kept pointing at the "ice" (lights)

I think the all red ones are my fave.

Glad you guys stopped here on your way home! It was fun.
