January

Here we go again with another 2 month update. . .starting with January

We started out the new year taking a quick trip to SLC for my adorable sister Sarah's baby shower. She had a great visit with family and friends and Sarah made out with tons of cute baby girl stuff.

We were also around for the Trinity & Tess's 8th Birthday & baptism. Happy Birthday girls & Congratulations on your baptisms!!

Kalli teaching Ryan how to play princesses.

My favorite picture from SLC.

We also got some family pictures taken by our awesome brother-in-law Colby Larsen. I will post pictures as soon as I get them from him...we had kind of a mix up with the pictures, but they are really good. Thanks Colby!!

Here are other pictures & a video from the rest of January.

Maren the kitchen helper, sporting her apron that Aunt Emily made for her for Christmas. Thanks Em.

Sword fight and distractions...

Happy ONE year Birthday to Maren!

Dad spent a good 2+ hours putting this beast together for Maren, what a guy!

Maren opening the purse mom made for her...she's loves to dig in purses (especially at church)!

Maren so cute as she sits on top of her present and opens it.

Our first tea party.

We decided that the mall playground would be the funnest place for Maren to play on her birthday. . . she loved it & Ryan had a good time too! The best part was that they both took really good naps afterward!

After our fun day of presents and play we celebrated more by eating "dairy-free" lemon cake with a few friends. (By the way I don't recommend soy butter based frosting.) Happy Birthday Maren, we love you!!
