The end of 2012

So, what do you do when you haven't posted on your blog for.... months?  I can't remember the date of the last one.  Post a million pictures!

Abby and Katelyn at Temple Square.  Such a cold and perfectly fun night.

 This may be one of the proudest moments of my life.  My little Katelyn was so beautiful at her first recital in her blue tutu and my make-up.  She danced beautifully to Toy Land and I loved spoiling her with roses.  Dave was able to join us from China by the miracle of Skype and an iPhone.  Seriously.  It was amazing.

 Sometime last fall.  Oh aren't they just the cutest??  Abby had to have her blankie in the picture, of course.

 This one has a story.  We were at the water conservatory enjoying the beautiful gardens (I was in heaven) and taking pictures of my kids.  Well, Abby decided that it was her turn and pushed Katelyn off the bench where I was taking her picture, climbed up and posed for me.  (See the next pic.)  Seriously, my little Abby is a funny girl.  :)

 Love the Alpine Loop.  Love Ethan's yellow rain boots.  And love that they were all giggling because I pushed the timer button and ran as fast as I could and then picked up the kids for the picture.

 Cool shot of the drinking fountain at the water conservatory.

 Well, isn't that just the cutest.  LOVE it.

 I might as well get in one picture.  

 The first snow storm was so powdery that it was hard to build snowman.  (And yes, the slopes were calling my name... and no I haven't gone for 6 years... we're sure saving a lot of $$ though. ;)

 So fun. Our neighbor invited Ethan's little preschool class to her parent's farm and let the kids ride horses, a little chariot behind a lawn mower, feed the ducks in the pond and just have a good time outside.  Awesome trip.

 Abby's no-smile smile.  My cute little lady bug.  Ethan's superman costume.  This was taken on Halloween and it was amazing that we didn't even have to wear jackets that night because it was so warm!
