Today we had my Dad's birthday dinner at my parent's house. Some friends from waaayyy back in the day were there. I'll try to explain who they are, but it might come across kinda jumbled. When we lived in Crestview there was a family who also lived there in our ward name the Stapletons. They had 6 (I think) kids. The second to youngest was my age. Anyway, they eventually moved away right before I graduated high school. So, the oldest daughter who is married and lived in Tennessee, just moved to Utah, and she came with her husband and two kids. It's a little strange because I know who she is, but not really because she's a bit older than me -- clear as mud, right?
So, we had the best time. She and her husband were so great, but the best part was their kids. They have a boy who is 4 months older than Jax, and a girl who is 4 months older than Sunny. They were great kids, and hit it off right away with our kids.. I don't think I've ever heard so much laughter. They played together the entire time. Swords, trucks, hide and seek, and the watched the Grinch movie. We will definitely have to do a play date in the future! What a great night.
Lila got this musical caterpillar for Christmas from Mok and Pok. She loves it.
Sunny's new paper dolls (also from Mok and Pok).
Lila spitting. She loves to spit. Food, milk, anything really. Seriously, she won't stop. She'll spit right in your face and laugh. I think we are encouraging b/c we laugh so hard when she does it, but I can't help it. She's a stinker.
I can't believe how big she is getting. Here she is modeling her Christmas jammies from Mimi.
I tried to get her to stand still for a picture, but she kept taking steps and then falling down. I think that is the story of my life. When she was little and I tried to take a picture she would crawl away, now it is walking. Why doesn't she want her picture taken??
A smile, though not at the camera :)
I have no idea what was up with her hair today. I think it is because she had a hood on and it got her hair full of static. Who knows. She has crazy hair anyway, but today was above and beyond. Light socket anyone??
Sunny snowboarding
Both of them hiding themselves. Jackson taught her how to do it. Basically you stick your face into the snow until your nose is about to freeze off. Gee, sounds great.
Sunny doing what she does best. Eating snow!
Look at that happy face.
As close to a smile as I could get.
She keeps flipping the page over and over again to hear the music.
Still more flipping the page.
The girls sporting their matching polka dot dresses from Aunt Jess and Uncle Josh (thanks guys!). This was before the party.
