Let it Snow....finally!

 January 8th we finally got an awesome snowfall, the kids were so excited to wake up to a winter wonderland! We all got in our snow clothes and headed out to build a snowman! It was so fun. I love fresh snow but when its a day old it needs to be gone!








 and yes that was my outfit :) for all the neighbors to see!


Santa's village...

 So while we were in Cancun, Amy and kp and Jess helped with our kids and one day they made this little village on the window, they loved it, we kept it up all season long and they loved showing anybody that came over. jess and amy said they worked really hard on it, it was so cute they were dying to show us when we got home from our trip. So grateful to cute little sister in laws that wanted to do something fun with their niece and nephews. thanks girls.

Happy New Year 2012...

New years was great as always. we had the usual Anderson Party at the Brown's and totally enjoyed ourselves. Great food, Games, company, music and whatever else you can think of. it didn't go without noise, wow you should have heard the noise. the kids loved every minute of it.. a great way to end 2011!

 These 2 little cousins have so much fun together. we don't even ever see Ella when she is with Miley.
 The 2 who started it all.

 Bunco!!





 my sister would probably die when she sees i put his on here, but it is amazing to me. she is pregnant and due anyday and she gets really swollen legs that when  you push on it it stays kind of like a stress ball, amazing right??
 ready to ring in the new year...

Happy New Year everyone! I am excited for what 2012 has in store for our family, there are going to be some big changes happening...  like a move to West Bountiful and adding another little girl to the family, just to mention a couple! We are looking forward to it and this next chapter in our lives. Bring it on 2012!

Merry Christmas 2011...

and a Merry Christmas it was! I loved having it on Sunday this year and thought it was so great to help us all stay focused on our Savior and the real reason we celebrate. The kids were able to see what Santa brought them before church but we didn't open any gifts until after. Our Sacrament program was amazing!! We came home and had a little family lesson about the spirit that was felt at church. Then the kids had fun opening gifts. We hung out here playing games with each other then headed over to my parents for christmas dinner and fun with the cousins. We spent christmas eve with the Shupe's where we had an awesome breakfast and dinner and decorated the gingerbread house and read the christmas story. I love Christmas, i love the spirit that you feel all season long and how you feel so at peace after it is over and ready to start fresh for a new year! Merry Christmas everyone!
