Wintertime

Our silly girls in the tub

Gotta love the curly mohawks

Say cheese!

This picture is the epitome of Oaklie. She's happy because she has everything she loves: her baby doll, shoes, a hair bow, and a jacket. 

The Army has this thing called Yellow Ribbon Program. Basically, it's conferences for soldier's who just returned home from deployment and their families. The November Yellow Ribbon was held in Pocatello (boo) but they put us up at a resort in Park City in December. We were able to stay with Dallas' parents one night, go to the Salt Lake Temple, and visit with President and Sister Peterson (Dallas' mission president and his wife--they are awesome). It was a ton of fun to see so many friends and family members. A bunch of us drove up to temple square one night to see the lights. 

Trevor and Kay. I wish I would've gotten a picture with Russell and Jamie!

When we got home we put up our Christmas decorations. We have a few extras in our nativity scene. Our tree is up, but all of the ornaments are on the top half of the tree because we have little hands in our house :) I'll post some pictures after Christmas.

Today we decided to brave the single digit weather and venture outside to play.

She is such a silly little girl. Oaklie has been walking and running all over the place. She says about ten words, depending on the day. Her favorites are "Da-ee!" (Daddy) "mumumum" (Mom) "Nana" (banana or  my mom, depending on the situation) "Walk!" and "Dis" (this). All day long she walks around the house and points at "dis", comes and shows me "dis" and asks for "dis." She's always entertaining.

Amaya is a riot. Round two of potty training is going really well. She's continuing to talk so well and is always telling me stories and singing silly songs. Tonight after I put her to bed I walked past her room and I could hear her singing "Away in a Manger". 

"High voice: Asweep, low voice: ASWEEP! High voice: Asweep low voice: ASWEEP!" She's so funny. 

(I'm hiding behind my bangs in this picture but Oaklie looks adorable)

We are super excited for Christmas! The girls are getting some really fun toys (and so is Dallas) it will be great to see friends and family on Christmas and in the week or so after. We can't wait!
