Over the River

We had Lily's birthday party yesterday afternoon.
 The theme was Lily Red Riding Hood.
We colored, read a story, cut open a Big Bad Wolf piƱata
that Trisha made (thanks Trisha.) danced, and ate.

 Each girl got to take home a Little Red Riding Hood cape (thanks mom) and a basket filled with a mini loaf of home made bread, juice, and apple, and a treat.
 17 of Lily's little friends and cousins came to help her celebrate!
Lily had such a fun day!

Lily's friends mom made her these adorable puppets.

Happy Birthday Lily



Hooray! Lily is 5. We are going to celebrate tonight with her friends at a "Lily Red Riding Hood" party. We've invited her friends to come over the river and through the woods to her Grandma's house for games, crafts, and treats.
I got a free book printed from Blurb, so I made a little story to go along with Lily's party tonight.
I'll post more pictures of the party later.

November

The past few months have been busy. We've done good at squeezing fun things in-between the craziness this year. We went to the Maze at Thanksgiving point this year. The girls thought it was so much fun. Tyler had to work, so he didn't come with us. The girls wanted to go through a haunted maze. We started going through, and Lily got scared, so I left with her. Ella did the entire maze by herself. She's so brave.

 Ella moved on to the next level in Reflections. She entered the Visual Arts category.


 Lily is still creating new fashions on a daily basis.
 Tyler and I have been busy with lost of boutiques.
 We spend Thanksgiving in St. George with my family.
My mom and Trisha had their annual cookie party while we were there.

 Tyler and I went with Justin and Emily shopping for Black Friday. It's much warmer to do Black Friday in St. George. Also, there was a flash mob, which is always entertaining.
We went to the Lighting of the tree in South Jordan. We were sad that there was no ice to skate on, but the girls had fun dancing around the tree. We had hot chocolate, visited Santa, went on a horse drawn hey ride, and finished off the night with Frozen yogurt. Ella thought it was the best night ever! 
This weekend we went to see the windows at the Grand America. This is my favorite Christmas tradition. Afterward we found Macy's candy windows, and looked at the lights at Temple Square. Ella and Cait had a fun time giving quarters to the homeless as we walked around downtown.
