Annie is 4!



It has been a big year for Annie! Since she turned 3...

She became a big sister


She has baked an untold amount of chocolate chip cookies
she was the shepherd in the Nativity
she went on countless walks to Temple Square with Grammie
she lived her Disney Princess dream
she started learning ballet
she soaked up some sun
she became so proud of her blue eyes--a novelty among her dark-eyed siblings
she took swim lessons at Liberty Park
she went to "Lellowstone"
she started preschool
she is still our "Annie-boo"

10 Months

It's hard to believe that my blond-haired boy used to be a brown-haired boy. He's pretty darn cute either way.

Coloring together

The girls decided to color with markers. Fortunately, the washable kind. Annie knows she's done something naughty. Emma is just happy to get her picture taken.

First day of school

A successful first day and ready for a new year!


Yellowstone

We had a great trip to Yellowstone the week before school started. We loved spending time with our friends from Torino, the Rotta family, who are travelers extraordinaire. The kids had a great time together, and Abby even learned a little Italian.
