The Princess and The Frog

The mine that Bryan works for has an annual Christmas function for the families of their employees. They rented out one of the movie theatres here in Gillette, and we got to see The Princess and the Frog. We all went and had a really good time. Bryan went with us after working all night and only getting a few hours of sleep. He really takes every opportunity to spend time with us, especially the girls. After the movie, the girls got to see Santa Claus and Mrs. Claus. Scarlett sat in his lap, but Avery wasn't having any of it. She is a little shy and I think Santa's weird get-up kind of freaks her out. Santa gave them both Walmart giftcards that they are totally excited about. Scarlett even slept with her's tonight. I love how kids are so content and happy with the simplest things.

Thanksgiving 2009

Bryan worked on Thanksgiving day, but was off for the whole Black Friday weekend. We had our Thanksgiving dinner on Friday and it was delicious as usual, thanks to my Mama who can seriously cook!! I was in charge of making the salad and I also made a raspberry cheesecake. My sister Carly and her family came up from SLC to spend it here with us in Gillette. The highlight for us was getting to see her little man Beckam. The girls love him and couldn't get enough of him. It makes me think how good they are going to be with the new baby. We all went to see New Moon(which I hated. Bryan went as well and hysterically laughed the entire time. That got old.) We also went bowling and just did a lot of eating and spending time with each other.

The Winter Here Won't Phase Us!!!!

Avery and Scarlett will ask, almost on a daily basis, for either their Daddy or I to take them to get into the hot tub. They don't care if it is 70 degrees or 30. I took them a couple of weeks ago and I should have snapped some photos of me. I had my parka on the whole time. I think it was only in the high 30's this afternoon, but it didn't put a damper on their fun. I had to take some pics. They are so funny!!
