Mary

I love this picture. Elsie is posing for one of Will's cousins since I did not have a camera. She is about to play Mary in the nativity play she and a bunch of her second cousins preformed for us. She was so reverent and sweet. We love this girl!

Catherine's dress and Blessing day

Here we are on the 8th of December on the day Catherine was Blessed at church. It was a beautiful event and again wonderful to have family there. I will try to do another photo shoot with Catherine and the dress Flora made. I did not get any good photos of her smiling so we will try again soon! For now here they are. We are so happy to have this little girl in our home. She is so perfect even if she sometimes still wakes at night. She is happy and giggly and only cries when she needs something or is tired. We love her and Elsie so much. We are just happy.

Our sealing on Dec 7, 2013

Here are the photos from our sealing at the Temple. It was truly a prefect day. It was snowing a little that day. The girls were prefect and we all felt our Heavenly Fathers love He has for each of us. We were happy to share the day with lots of loved ones as well. My mother in law put together a wonderful  luncheon afterwards which was great. We are so happy to be a forever family with two beautiful girls. 

We went to court...

...and now legally Catherine is ours!!! We are over the moon happy. She is perfect and we all love her so much! What a happy day!

Adah's Birthday

One more year has passed. Here is our little celebration. Adah got just what she wanted for her Birthday a new colander. 

Our growing Beauty

You can't tell me she is not beautiful!! We love this little girl so much. She is so happy and such an amazing part of our family, a true miracle!

Fall Leaves

Here are a few photos of the girls in the leaves. We worked on raking and bagging the leaves as a family. 

Moab 2013

Right after trick or treating we packed up our stuff and headed to Moab. We got in late but it was great to be able to wake up and get started hanging out with some of our best friends. We rented a small cabin together and did a lot of hiking in Arches National Park. It was perfect weather for hiking cool but not too cold. We did a few short hikes and then the second day we hiked Delicate Arch, which if I remember correctly it was like 3 miles round trip. Elsie walked the whole way and did great! Also Adah got brave and went backcountry horse back riding with our friend Lindy who loves riding horses. It was Adah's first time on a horse. It went well and she survived to tell the tail. We had so much fun and are planning our next trip with our friends this spring we hope.
