Something I LOVE!

We are a "shoeless" home... when the kids come over the first thing they do is kick off their shoes and throw them in the basket in the front hall! This mess makes me so happy because it means my kids and grandkids are HOME! Sometimes there are so many shoes that you can hardly walk through the front hall! All the better for ME!

New Year's Eve 2010

New Year's Eve was so fun! We spent it at Nate and Jenny's with almost all of our family and some of Nate's! It was a fun night with lots of yummy food ~ Good company and fun games! We all welcomed the New Year in loudly and with lots of excitement! The little kids loved it and it was really fun!

Jenny's beautiful yummy table ...

The Chocolate Fountain is always a HIT!

I loved watching the kids try to reach! They all found a way!

That fountain had some problems... flowing really crooked and slow! But it was still tasty!

Pirate Island Pizza

Pirate Island Pizza opened in Orem a while ago and we finally made it there. It was decent food...but such a fun atmosphere. Matt sang Karoke and smoked everyone! It was pretty fun to watch the little girls up there watching him! They were so cute! His little groupies! We had alot of fun in the game room and won a ton of tickets! It was a fun family evening! We loved it!

Pillow pets for the little girls.
Abby wanted a unicorn pillow pet more than anything... I had already bought them...and on Christmas morning when it wasn't at her house...she was a bit disappointed....she said. However when she opened our gift... she was over the top excited! It was so fun to see her open it! It's so fun to give a gift that you KNOW they will love!

She was thrilled....What is it about pillow pets?
