Happy New Year

Casey and I began dating ten years ago on New Year's Eve. To celebrate our "anniversary" we went for a family hike to Rainbow Mountain and took in the last sunset of 2011. When we got home Casey made the most delicious dinner! He made beef wellington, roasted fingerling potatoes and a warm wilted winter greens salad with parmesan cheese shavings and pomegranate seeds. It was the best dinner ever!

Casey cooking the meal. He has become quite a chef!

Not only was the dinner fabulous but it was beautiful too!

Merry Christmas

Ella's Christmas Musical

Ella did a great job singing in the Christmas musical for her school. She practiced for several weeks memorizing the songs for this special night. She had a great time singing with her classmates and eating some yummy treats after. Be sure to watch the video of one of the songs she sang. :)

Mmmmm cupcakes!

After Colby really wanted to practice shaking the maracas that Ella used in the musical.

We finished the night by listening to holiday music in the car while driving around looking at all the beautirul Christmas lights.

A Visit With Santa

Ella and Colby had a great time at the children's Christmas party for Casey's work once again. It was held at a hand's-on science center with snacks and a visit with Santa. This year when Colby met Santa he was not as excited. In fact, he cried the whole time while on his lap. Ella, on the other hand, enjoyed talking with Santa and telling him all about our dogs and the toys she wanted for Christmas.

Colby did not want to sit on Santa's lap this year.

"Mummy, Daddy . . . . I really want to get off Santa's lap now."

Ella loved chatting with Santa this year.

Ella had fun making giant bubbles in the science center.

We all had fun making music on these xylophones.
