Polar Express

Over Thanksgiving weekend we went on a trip to the Polar Express! We drove five hours there and then boarded the train. Then we drank hot chocolate, ate cookies, they read us the Polar Express, and then we got to the North Pole! We drove past the lights and then Santa got on board and passed out bells to all the kids on the train. On the way back we sang Christmas carols. The kids loved it! It was very fun.

Best preschool helper

This was Halle's mid year preschool evaluation. She is so smart and doing so well in preschool! I thought what her teacher said here was funny and cute. It's so true- Halle is a very good helper! 

Fun at the St. George Children's museum

For about the last month Halle has been ending up in our bed just about every night. We love snuggling with her, but you can see from this picture why many nights we don't get very good sleep! Somehow she often ends up horizontal. How does that happen?? But we love our girl so much we just keep letting her come back to sleep with us!

Planet cake bites

My sister Jamie is such an awesome aunt! She babysat for us yesterday and made "planet" cake bites decorated with colored chocolate (because Luke is really into the solar system lately) with the kids. So fun! And they are delicious too. Luke and Halle loved it. These kiddos are very loved!

Sweet girl

Halle drew this cute picture today of her and me together. I love how she got the hair color right, the eye color, such a good artist and smart girl. I asked her why my mouth was open and she said because I am saying thank you :). 

Halle is such a sweet girl and I love her to peices. She lights up my life and I am so grateful to have her. She is such a spunky, fun girl but also has a very sweet and tender side to her and I love that about her. I love being her mom. Love my girl!
