Cupids Corner

Ali's valentines were sweet.

Cole's were cool.

Ali's class made their valentine mailboxes together

and Cole and Daddy continued the tradition of constructing hilariously genius Valentine boxes.

You may remember last years commode...this year Cole's idea was a shower!

They worked for hours on this!

and it was a complete hit at school. 

Christmas Sunday Attire

Trying to document holiday cuteness shows their true personalities.

can you tell which kid is which?

the rule follower. the ham. and the independent soul.

Dancing Queen

In December Ali had her dance recital. 

She was such a little pro!

She loved every minute of being on stage. 

and she performed that dance with every inch of her cute 'lil dancer self, right down to her perfectly placed finger tips!

daddy gave her roses and she ate up every moment of the spotlight

I can't imagine where she gets that from!

All I want for Christmas

How perfectly timed was this tooth loss?

"All I want for Christmas is my two front teeth" was his favorite song this holiday season!

Straight up frozen.

This is what happens when you buy a Christmas tree in Idaho Falls.

Justin brought it home, unwrapped the chord holding it together, and it stayed just like this.

FROZEN SOLID.

Yep folks, nothing is holding it together in this picture. It's literally straight up frozen.

It fell to reveal a gorgeous tree by the next morning...after it had thawed. 

Olaf

Frozen has made quite the impression on our girls.

Piper sings "let it go" CONSTANTLY and its adorable as it gets!

and ali affectionately names every snowman Olaf.

here is the first of the season.

and here is a more current creation.

chocolate chips and all.

yes we decorate with chocolate.

I am my mothers daughter.

Cole it quite the snowman master as well.

the next morning arms and facial features are always missing...

begging the question, What does Olaf do at night?

Ali Jo goes retro.

A 50's day at school meant a chance to get into character.

You know ali and I were all over that!

and it of course led to a photo shoot.

to show off her letter-mans sweater.

sweet chuck taylor's.

and over the top personality.

the 50th day of school never looked so cute!
