Happy New Year!

Christmas In A Nut Shell

Lily looking so cute on Christmas Eve:


Party at the Hill's house:


Then Santa came!
We went to Brigham City for more presents and family time:




Lily's fav present from Santa:


Hope you had a great Christmas too!

Best Present Ever!

Meet the newest addition to our brood, our 2005 Honda Pilot!
(I don't miss my Saturn at all! :)

Merry Christmas!

We Know What Christmas Is All About...

PRESENTS!!

So hope you get lots of good ones!!

Towne Centre Santa

What a fun time we had with Santa! Not only did the kids sit on his lap and make their requests (Lily asked for a pink dragon), but A) The moms were allowed to take pictures with their OWN cameras! and B) Santa made it snow INSIDE!

Preschool Christmas Program

This was a fist for me as a mom - my child's school program. It was so cute! Here were the different sides of Lily she chose to portray throughout the program:
~LOUD singing
~Sad face
~Nose-picking
~Hurt feelings
~Super excited!

Cookie Party!

My sweet girlfriend Mindy hosted a glamorous night of cookie-baking and frosting-making! Lily and Abby loved decorating - 50% sprinkles, 40% frosting and 10% cookie.






Thanks for the wonderful night!

Latelies

We spent a fun weekend in Vernal visiting our Grammy. I wish this picture was better quality, but it's Lily and her great grandma making pie crust for Thanksgiving dinner.


We had such a fun time when our friend Julia came to visit from North Carolina! Rachel loved the girl's nights with Melodie and Lily and Julia had a blast fighting over toys :)


Lily has also been helping me wrap presents...


...and thanks to her help, we are ALL DONE SHOPPING!! Everything is even wrapped and ready to go! Christmas chaos can suck it!

I'm BAAAAACK...for now!

Merry Christmas! It's such a fun/busy/crazy/festive/happy/wild time of year. (Hence my brief hiatus) I would love to slowly catch you up on things. I hope you are all excited for Christmas!

M ♥ I ♥ A

Sorry I've been gone for a while...but I shall return, as soon as life becomes less hectic and there are more hours in a day. See you all then!

New Boots!

I have been looking all fall for some cute boots without forking out too much moolah $$. I even ordered a pair online, got them home and didn't love them.

So I took matters into my own hands.

I bought these boots at Wal-Mart for $12:


Then added some zipper flowers and viola!

Costumes!

I hope you all had a great Halloween! After the hail stopped, we had a great time trick-or-treating around the neighborhood.

Lily: Princess
Dan & Rach: Terrance and Philip (from Southpark!)
Our friend Dan: Purple Teletubby

Organizational Heaven!

Lily's room is SOOO organized now! We collected all the toys from all over the house and they are all now in her room. This way, she can play all day without making a mess all over! Here is how things turned out:

Extra $$

I've spent the last two weeks selling things on KSL and couldn't believe how much money I made!! I was saving up to buy my dream shelves from IKEA (see Monday's upcoming post!)
Here are some cute pictures of Lily posing with items I was trying to sell:

Pumpkin Seeds

Because I looooove pumpkin seeds, we spent last night just cutting some pumpkins up to find those yummy seeds! Lily loved playing with the "guts" and I was surprised at how messy I let things get. But it was totally worth it because we had so much fun!

This Morning:

Pumpkin Land!

We had so much fun at Pumpkin Land in Orem. We picked out pumpkins, got lost in a corn maze, fed some animals and even played on the bounce houses. It was a blast!
