& the winners of the ugly Christmas sweater contest are...

John and I won gift cards for having the "ugliest" Christmas sweaters at our Christmas party; we didn't think there was anything ugly about them :)  The girls enjoyed meeting Santa & telling him what they'd like for Christmas; Briley even told him she'd like a "Lella" doll & gave him a high five : )

And to think all of this was achieved with a tripod & a timer : )

Briley loves her new slide...ok, we all do. Can't wait for it to snow!

So I realize I'm not the best at religiously blogging; but I wanted to share our Snowbird pictures, even though they are so 2 months ago...

We found a cool shelter while hiking

We all did flips on the bungee tramp :)

Briley's first ride on the Alpine Slide

John insisted on taking a picture with the pile of poop
& the tent & flag...

the girls once again, showed off their amazing rock climbing skills

Cami rode this bull about 20 times...

The pioneer day parade

Fun with cousins

John & I proudly watching our kids reach the top of the
rock climbing wall-not many other kids could do it :)

We hung with the moose at Secret Lake

Happy 7th Birthday Camden!

Cami had a fun day turning 7 years old... She got a pretty pink mountain bike

She got visitors at school for lunch

She got to go to Skate City

She got a Care Bear Cake, just as she requested

Happy Birthday to our favorite 7-year old!!!

Back to School

Ready for the first day... 

4th grader!!!

2nd grader!!!

The girls had a great first day of school.  Both of them love their teachers and have good friends in their classes.  Briley was the only one who cried this morning; she didn't understand why she couldn't stay at school too; she packed her lunch & everything : (  Poor girl carried that lunch box around ALL day long.  We went to Costa Vida to celebrate the first day of school :-)
