New Years

We always have a really low key new year eve. As a family we watch movies, have tons of junk food, play games and stay up late. This year Carmen, Charlotte and myself made it too midnight. The girls were pretty excited to watch the ball drop since just the week before they had been in Time Square.

New Years day we broke out the play dough, Dallin's first time. He thought it was pretty cool.

Dallin and Aliza seriously have a special kind of relationship. I hope he has her same disposition as he grows older.

 Carmen has been mastering the art of face painting. She got a really fun kit for Christmas and has enjoyed anyone being a willing participant.

This boy has me wrapped around his little finger! Isn't he just the cutest thing ever?!

This day he was getting particularly bored shopping at the craft store with me. When he spotted this Thomas the Train sticker/coloring book he plopped himself down right in the middle of the floor to enjoy the book!  

We took advantage of the warm day to play outside. Charlotte got to finally ride her new bike she got from Santa. 

Although it was warm enough to play outside, it was still pretty breezy. Dallin and I snuggled with each other while the girls played. 

I caught Dallin feeding juice to his Lightning McQueen car, like you would feed a bottle to a baby. I tried to catch a picture of it, but then he saw me and stopped. It was pretty darn adorable.

Testing out the sunroof while waiting for the bus. We love the warm weathered days among the cold blustery ones! The kids missed a few days of school due to it being "too cold to go outside". I thought it was pretty ridiculous to miss school due to cold temps. It was -3F.
