Our Little Princess

Our ward had a Daddy-daughter Princess ball for the primary aged girls.  Kyia was so excited to go and had been talking about it all week.  We suprised her with a new princess dress to wear to the ball and she was so excited when she saw it.  She told me Cinderella'a mice made it for her to wear to the special dance.  Oh the fantasy world of a three year old.  She looked so grown up in her dress and with her hair all done up.  Mike and Kyia both had a great time and Kyia's already asking when she can go again.

Our New Addition

I finally caved and ended up signing my life over to 10-15 years of servitude.  We got a puppy. Yes, I know, I said I wasn't going to but the look on Mike and Kyia's face made me give in.  I have been sitting on the fence for so long and was finally pushed to one side.  I do like dogs, it's the work that goes into them that makes it more difficult.  I have to admit though that this puppy is really cute and a lot smaller than the pictures make her look.  She's a puggle and we finally decided to name her Zoe.  Kyia was stuck on Sally for awhile but that just didn't seem like a dog's name so we finally convinced her of another name. She is having a lot of fun with her and they chase each other around everywhere. So far she hasn't made a noise but I'm sure that is going to change.

Busy December

I can't believe it's been a month since we last posted.  This month has been really busy with the holidays and visiting family. We spent Christmas in Denver this year and had a lot of fun visiting family.  It had been a year and a half since we had been back in Denver and since then, two new babies had been born.  It was fun to have everyone together.  Before leaving for Denver, we made our annual gingerbread houses, went to a live nativity scene which was set up to be like you were actually in Bethlahem, and went to "A Dickon's Christmas" where they had all the characters from the Christmas Carol.  This month went by so fast!  We have a ton of pictures so I separated them into two slide shows, before Denver and while in Denver. We hope everyone had a great Holiday season!
