Family Pics

My sister Kristen took some family pics for us while we were in Utah this Christmas. She is awesome, I can't believe she got such great shots in under 10 minutes with our cars packed up and all ready to head out! Here are a few teasers before we get all of them



(It was after seeing these pictures I realized I needed to get some low-lites and a new straightener asap)

Happy Day Phil

HAPPY BIRTHDAY to Phil. He turned 28, doesn't that sound old?

We had a little family birthday party for him where he opened up the dollar store gifts Bruin found for him (a t-rex dinosaur, some shoelaces and snickers) and a handgun from me (well a TOY one... wrapped with some money for a real one ha!).

Then we shipped the kiddos off to a babysitter and had some of our friends over for some Brazilian/American cuisine and ping-pong ;)


Then Bruin decided to top the night off by puking all over the place right before he went to bed.


HAPPY B-Day hunny!

Our Utah Christmas Vacation

This year we spent Christmas with my family at my sister's house in Farmington, UT. It was so great to hang with my family and Bruin had a blast with his cousins. At least twice a day now he puts on his shoes or backpack and tells me he's going to his cousins' house in Utah.
Phil got to spend some time with the brother-in-laws too.. they went skiing at Alta and went to a basketball game together. I'm so glad my sisters all married such good men who bring so much fun to our family!

Here's a few pics of the week. My sister also took some family pics for us that I will post later when I receive them.

No tears this year, only a little uncertainty.

This year I will try to get back in the habit of blogging for my journaling sake
