Ariel & Piggy Tails

Back in January Madison was invited to a friend's birthday and they were to wear their finest princess attire. She picked her Ariel dress (as Ariel and Sleeping Beauty are her favorite). She was so excited and picked out special jewels to wear.



We also tried a new hairdo on Claire--piggy tails and they looked so adorable!

One of Many Valentine posts

Grandma & Papa sent the girls a Valentine's package with some heart outfits (that they're wearing), valentine stickers that Claire used on ONE card, scooby-doo movie (Madison wondered how Grandma knows everything they LOVE), candy hearts, Fancy Nancy Book (that we've read so many times) and a Minnie Mouse book. Claire loves this outfit. When she saw it she said "my tutu". She's always so happy to find it washed and clean. She would wear it every day if she could.

The girls making Valentine's for their family.

Sunday Poses

Sunday mornings Madison usually asks me to take 8 pictures with all her different poses.

This one makes me laugh!

Grandma Rae Dene & Grandpa Kirk come to Visit!

My grandparents came to visit a few weeks ago and we were able to enjoy their company for a few days. Madison and Claire put on a little show for everyone. They love that Grandma always has surprises, treats, and soda for them. Grandma sure knows how to spoil them and they sure love her! Claire wouldn't leave Grandpa Kirk alone. He got lots of giggles from these little girls.

Grandma Dottie & Grandpa Mike come to visit!

On January 21st Grandma Dottie and Grandpa Mike came to visit. The girls were so excited. They greeted their guests on the front porch--squealing with delight! Claire even dressed up for the occasion (princess dress, high heels and crown...she plays dress up just about every day!). Madison couldn't wait to teach them Uno Attach and Princess Yahtzee. Claire got Grandma to read her stories. We enjoyed a nice dinner and great conversation. The next morning they came back for breakfast and another game of Uno Attack and then we headed to play miniature golf. There are no outdoor courses here, so we settle for an indoor with black lights. This was the girls first time and they loved it! By the end Madison wanted no help and did great! Claire would hit her ball at the beginning of the hole and then find where it went and pick it up and take it right to the hole. She would then place it on the edge and hit it in and cheer wildly! We visited a park and enjoyed some lunch. Then they were off to enjoy Donnie and Marie. This is what Grandma Dottie wanted to do for her birthday!












They came to church with us on Sunday where Mike was able to ordain Chris to the office of High Priest since he was called to be in the Bishopric. We are sure glad they came to visit! Madison cried when they left. She loves having someone new to play Uno Attack with! Come back soon!







This morning Chris felt the baby move for the first time. I love when he can finally feel her because it makes it that more real to him. I've been feeling her move since a few days before Christmas. The girls have been so sweet as of late. They kiss my belly goodnight and Claire always tells her "sweet dreams". They are both so excited for this little girl to arrive!!
