Allie recently performed in her schools spring festival. It was fun to watch her.

Christmas Break

We had a great Christmas. We went to Bountiful to Andrea's parents home. Here are some pictures.

While we were there we spent a lot of time visiting with family and we went sledding. It was so much fun.

Andrea and Elena:
Allie - she loved it the most I think. She kept going and going.

Elena and Eddie only needed a couple of times down the hill before they were both done. They waited very patiently while everyone else took turns.

Halloween

Here are our Halloween pictures. Allie and Scott were getting Eddie to pant like a dog.

Elena was a princess that was missing her sparkly cape and her tiara, but she wasn't too worried. We could find the tiara but it didn't stay put as well as she would have liked and I know I saw the cape a week or so ago...
And another princess. At the beginning of the day Elena was going to be Strawberry Shortcake and Allie was going to be a ballerina. Somehow when it comes down to it, the princess always comes out. I actually don't mind that at all since it is a very simple request to fill.

A Good Morning

One of the best things about living near great trout streams is that occasionally you can hook one of these:


It measured 21 inches long and 11 inches around.

Elena's 5th Birthday

Elena was so excited to turn 5. Her birthday was on a Sunday so she convinced us to open presents before we went to church. We ended up opening presents in our room because we were listening to our Bishop on the radio. He had spoken at Friday Forum at Snow College and it was played on Sunday morning.

Here she is holding her presents from Nanna and Papa.

Elena wanted a Barbie cake for her birthday.

The cake was frosted with whipped topping and I didn't want it to get too warm before we ate it so it had to go in the fridge while we made dinner. Barbie looks really strong in this picture.

Elena also had a play date party with a couple of her friends and we made cupcakes. Eddie really liked them, particularly the frosting. He LOVES anything chocolate.
