Annie

Lydia has always loved Annie, I guess Talia is wanting to be like her big sister and watch "real" movies instead of just cartoons now. They grow up so fast :)

Also, today is John and my 12th wedding anniversary! Time goes so fast!

Battleship

Jude really likes to play Battleship- he likes anything that is one on one.

I get weirded out when I play this with him though. Last time we played our battleships were in the exact same spot and this time we both decided to line our ships up in a bunch. . . it's always creepy when someone thinks the exact same way you do.

Snow!

Sorry for the picture overload here. I couldn't choose a favorite, I just love snow too much!

I loved that Julia tossed it in the air and let it snow down on top of her head. That smile of hers. . .

Talia was outside ALL morning. She would still be out there if she didn't need a diaper change and a drink of milk. She loves to be outside any day, but you add snow and it's a whole new love.

Her attempt at building a "frosty the snowman" was very short-lived. This snow was the famous Utah powder and was way too dry to build anything with.

Kayla lasted about 2 minutes before she wanted to come in. I made her tough it out for about 15 minutes though. She was more than happy to come inside when her forced playtime was over though.

Ugh- this kid is SO CUTE! She's the only one who will still actually say cheese for me.

Dress Up Days

Kayla is in a MAJOR dress-up phase. She will absolutely not wear anything "normal" at this point. Her mix-and match mermaid/fairy princess outfit today was quite adorable.

(No worries, she didn't get to keep that necklace for long)

Hearts

Lydia LOVES hearts. She taught herself how to draw them when she was like 3 and has been putting them on everything ever since. She was especially proud of her heart-shaped pretzel.

Puzzle Fun

New Year's Day is a day to just hang out and stay in your pajamas right? Maybe it's just me, but that's my idea of a holiday.

Talia is always down for staying in her pajamas all day.

She LOVES her new Anna and Elsa nightgown :)

And she was making me laugh and laugh the way she was mixing the puzzle pieces up all crazy on purpose. Her laugh is contagious.

New Year's Eve

Exactly midnight:

I missed Jude somehow, but you can reference his last birthday blog-post to see him fast asleep :)

I think it's safe to say that Julia is a night-owl like her Mama :)

She didn't have any trouble staying up late!
