Happy New Year!

Goodbye 09, hello 2010. For FHE on Monday we did some goal setting. Hallie was really cute about it and took it very seriously. Here's Hallie's goals for this year:

It's been a great year for us, I feel really blessed. Here are some of the highlights from 09:
*Jake passing the OT exam and getting a job and a paycheck!
*Hallie mastering a two wheeler
*Hallie turning 5
*Hallie playing t-ball and soccer for the first time
*The annual Lake Powell trip with my family
*Hallie starting kindergarten
*Sadie going to preschool 1 day a week
*Anniversary gettaway to Zions, hiking Angels Landing
*Hiking the Subway hike
*going to California-Disneyland and Sea World, seeing the girls play at the beach for the first time-collecting sea shells.
*becoming homeowners, being in our new house for Christmas
*Sadie turning 3
I'm excited to see what 2010 brings.

Merry Christmas!

Santa did indeed come. Hallie got the pink guitar she wanted. Sadie got princess polly pockets and a castle. It was a great day being together and with family and most importantly celebrating the birth of our Savior. It really is the best time of the year.

Birthday Princess

It was Sadie's birthday on the 19th. She was so excited for it. Everytime you would ask her how old she was going to be she would hold up 1 finger and say, "free!". I can't believe what a big girl she is getting to be. She is such a fun, spunky little girl that loves her thumb and her blankey probably just about more than anything. She is a big time snuggle bug. She loves barbies, princess polly pockets and can play with them for hours carrying on with dialouge and everything. She really is the family clown and makes us laugh constantly. Her favorite thing to say lately is,"What the heck?" She loves to sing and is always humming or singing. She loves to dance and sing to "Mama Mia", "High School Musical", the princess songs and primary songs. We love her so much and I'm so thankful she is part of our family.



Sadie does this thing where she crosses her eyes when she's being silly. She's just barely uncrossing them.


Her favorite present, a keyboard from Grandma Lana and Grandpa Joe

Nativity

We had some of our friends over for dinner one night and the kids did the nativity.

Bus stop and silliness

Everyday we walk Hallie to the Bus stop, it's just around the corner. She loves riding the bus. Sadie is always sad that she can't go too.

Thanksgiving

We had Thanksgiving at my parents house. Little Jeter enjoying the feast.
