First day of Sunbeams!! She was so excited. We went over... no snacks, no toys, and no crying if you don't get picked during music time.

Where is Hayley?

 Lily was invited to Elizabeth Niec's 3rd birthday party. This is Lily's first birthday party to be invited too and she is soooo excited.
We bought a new tent for Scott to take on his scout campout. We decided to test it out in the living room while the bottom was clean. The girls loved staying the night in it.

We celebrated mom and dad's 40th anniversary in Sedona. During our week stay we...went to uptown, hiked, built snowmen, golfed, made snow angels, watched movies, built gingerbread houses, played games, and much more.

 The weather was perfect at the beginning of our trip. We went on a small hike.

 Katelyn found this big leaf and wanted a picture.
 One night at the resort they had a reptile lady come present. They were allowed to hold different reptiles. Here is Lily holding a tarantula!! She was sooo excited.
 Katelyn loved playing in the snow.
 The first snowman they built with daddy.
 After it snowed some more Scott went out and built them a bigger snowman!! It's as big as Lily.

Strong Christmas Dec. 22nd
