Crash Course in Catching Up!!

So here is my attempt at catching you up on at least the last little while of our lives! ( It will seem rushed but informative:)

First there is Thanksgiving which was fantastic and the best I can remember in some time. Way low key and low stress. We went to Sundance for the Buffet so clearly we ate too much and left super happy! Not everyone made it since it was the off year and most of the family had to spend it with the out-laws instead of with our family which is why it was such a small bunch! OK NEXT!!

Christmas Fondue Party: Fantastic year especially for the kids!! The fondue party was great! We didn't have the kids for the fondue

party but they were off partying without us at Jeff's mom's for the annual Christmas grand kid sleepover!! The fondue party is yet another event that we eat too much at but leave incredibly happy. OK NEXT!

Christmas was CRAZY busy!! Christmas Eve we went to breakfast at Jeff's dad's house then went and saw The Princess and the Frog with the girls since they wouldn't be seeing the annual family movie with us the next day. We took the girls home after that for some Applesauce cookie making for Santa! The girls then bailed on us to a party on the other side of the family. When they returned we watched a movie then off to bed!!

Next morning was NUTS! We woke up, opened presents, had the whole family over for breakfast and presents. Everyone was in a super hurry to get to Heather's new in-laws for lunch and we had the trade off with the girls to do. We went and saw Avatar 3-D and that was fantastic. After that we went to Chris and Dana's for ham, rolls and yummy funeral potato's! We finally got to go home and put on pj's and do nothing after that!! OK NEXT.

New Years was fun. Both kids made it to midnight and made resolutions that neither have kept of course. My birthday (Jan.13Th) was super great and had the whole family to sushi and I got a Wii Fit Plus just what I wanted!!

Valentines: Kids were gone so we took Jeff's mom to dinner the night before for a date night. Jeff got me a bunch of tulips! We decided to have art time! Mike and Paige paint with acrylic so why can't we right? Well here is what the finished product looks like. Mine is on the left and I cheated since it is sort of a paint by number and Jeff's in on the right and he had to do it free hand! We made each other steak and crab for dinner and the best asparagus I have ever had I might add!!

Kenzie's B-day: Feb 16Th Let the marathon begin...the 15Th We took her to a movie with a friend then had the pizza party. 16Th- She came home to

a giant bunch of balloons and tons of presents as well as a birthday banner. (of course she thought there was a chance we would forget her birthday bahaha) We let her open her "M" necklace and her Taylor Swift CD/DVD then off to dinner where we ran into grandpa Brent and grandma Melanie so we hung out over dessert. We came home and opened the new comforter and sheet set and of course then had to clean and rearrange her entire room. (super fun and now age appropriate) 17TH-We had 11 people over for birthday dinner and had cake. What fun she had! 20TH-Birthday sleepover with grandma Darlene. 21ST- Jeff's family party dinner. END OF BIRTHDAY!

Last thing...the girls have been taking ballet since they received lessons for Christmas from grandma Robyn and grandpa Eric. They love them and now every time they hear music are dancing around the house and helping me realize what I must have done to my mother all the years of my childhood. :) They also got new dance outfits that are super cute!!

There is so much I left out but my brain is fried so maybe I can add more later!! Tah Tah for now!!
