December 31-January 6 {Highlights + Welcome 2013!!}


New Year's Eve 2012 = best NYE ever!

For New Year's Eve, Greg and I plus our kids plus friends
all stayed downtown at The Marriott.
We had dinner at La Bella Piastra inside the hotel
{their NYE buffet is amazing!}
and afterwards we Greg took the kids ice-skating
at the Gallivn Center for First Night.

Thomas is so excited to ice-skate!!

At midnight we rang in the New Year, 
and toasted with Martinelli's
{the kids somehow all managed to stay awake!}

It was a memorable night!
It was also the second New Year's Eve Greg
and I have spent together.
I am looking forward to the
next 50 with him.



For several days in a row, the ONLY toy Thomas
wanted to play with were these foam blocks
his Grandma and Grandpa
{my parents}
bought him for Christmas 3-4 years ago.

He hasn't looked at them twice until now,
but everyday all day Thomas worked hard on
building foam castles, moats, buildings, houses,
and all types of architectural structures.

Izzie Grace was in need of some new church shoes,
so the kids and I went shopping on Saturday
and found these silver beauties at Target.

I really like the girl's shoes at Target.

Isabelle calls them her
"Cinderella shoes."
They are fitting because she is a princess!

It's great to be turning eight!

Now that Isabelle is turning eight,
she was invited to a baptism fireside at 
The Stake Center.

Grandpa Tom took Isabelle to the fireside.
It was really special for them to do
that together!
I think for Isabelle the highlight was the
refreshments they served at the end -
the cookies were all she talked about!

Already 2013 is a good one!
