It snowed in St George!

And we got more this year than last year! What a great way to end Winter Break for the girls! Today was their last day off before returning to school tomorrow... and they loved starting their day playing in the snow. The girls were able to get in a snowball fight and a pretty decent sized snowman (especially compared to last year's model).

Amber wasn't quite sure what to do with all that white, cold stuff in her backyard, so she did what any puppy from California would do... she ran laps through it, ate it, and then came in and shook it off and kept a watchful eye on it from inside the house.

Here are some pictures....

We met baby Norah!

Last week the three girls in our family made our way over the river (the Virgin River) and through the woods (San Bernardino National Forest) to Grandmother's (and Grandfather's) house for Christmas celebration part 2!

And while we were there, we got to see Tangled, play games, go to the park, and meet our newest baby cousin Norah! None of us could leave her alone and when Aunt Kari wasn't holding her, or her mommy wasn't feeding her, we got to hold her! :)

Here are some pictures of Kara & Brooke with Norah:

Catching up on Christmas

We had a wonderful Christmas! Relaxing and full of fun! :)
