Dec. '22

Friday, April 12, 2024

December was such a busy month, and there are several more pics I wanted to share, so I just put them all together in this post. Happy Holidays! 🎄

We had some friends over for dinner and games, and we also decorated sugar cookies. I love the grinch ones!

Gingerbread House, 12/13-14/22

Monday, April 8, 2024

One of our neighbors hosts a gingerbread decorating activity at their home every year, but this year there was a really bad snow storm (they live up a really steep hill), so she dropped us off a gingerbread house and candy to decorate on our own at home. We all worked together as a family, and it turned out so cute! It looked so good, I decided it needed its own post, haha. Enjoy!

The front. I love everything about this: the little path, the pretzel fence, the candy roof, the Christmas lights, the wreath, the rock chimney, the trees. So cute!

Nov. '22

This is a compilation of cute photos from Nov. '22 that otherwise don't have a separate blog post. It was a fun and busy month!

Noelle has always been our snow girl. She was so excited to get her snow gear on and play in it after having this little storm just two days into November. Little did we know, it was the start of a HUGE record breaking snow season for Utah! See here and here.

Grandma Hadley's Birthday, 12/22/20

Tuesday, January 19, 2021

We had the most special Christmas this year! Grandma and Grandpa Hadley were able to come visit us and spend a whole week with us! It was the best! We had been planning it for a few months, and it was kind of tricky with all the covid restrictions and testing, but we all tested negative and did our best to stay safe, and it worked out! We were so glad!

Mike and Kay arrived on Kay's 69th birthday! Scott picked them up from the airport in the evening, and then when they got here we all had some yummy coconut cake. The girls helped me make it during the day and were the best little helpers cleaning and getting ready. They were so excited and kept asking when Grandma and Grandpa would get here. We were so happy to see them and that we got to spend this beautiful Christmas season together. 🎄⭐

Snowflakes, 3/2/20

Thursday, March 5, 2020

Earlier this week we had a pretty big snow storm that produced the most perfect snowflakes! I was picking up Noelle from preschool and I noticed these perfect snowflakes falling on my coat. So we ran home and while Robyn was napping, Noelle and I played in the snow and I did my best to try and capture the beauty of the perfect little snowflakes falling all around us. I was feeling a little bit like Snowflake Bentley (my favorite book lately). Enjoy these beautiful pics!

Look closely to see the perfect little flake towards the left center of the pom pom on this hat ❄

Frozen Bubbles, 1/5/20

Wednesday, January 29, 2020

The coldest days we've had during this cold spell we got down to -23. Brrrr! We tried to make the most of it though and had fun doing some experiments. Scott threw boiling water outside and it froze before falling on the ground, (the video is on my IG) and we also had some fun blowing bubbles that froze and you could see the ice crystals forming in the bubble. I took these pics of the frozen bubbles. It was pretty cool!
