Birthdays

The girls had their birthdays this last week. Saree was so cute about opening her presents. She would take a little strip off at a time and then throw it in the garbage, come back and rip some more off. Jaycie just tore into hers. They both loved their gifts. On the 29th we went to the Anasazi Heritage Center, free in the off season, can't beat that!! Anyway, it was really interesting and had a neat museum with it. It then had a hike up to a look out and some ruins. I think we all enjoyed it, even if it was a little cold. The little snowman was funny. Someone built it on the bench and had put a great deal of work into it.

I thought Grandpa & Grandma-Grandma would like to see the girls in the pretty birthday dresses. They both loved them. Jaycie told everyone that it was her birthday dress and made sure that they noticed the matching shoes. (I'm still wondering if I didn't get one of Shannon's kids on accident).

We spent Thanksgiving with Bro. & Sis. Clark, and Morgan & Trina. We all enjoyed it and of course indulged too much. Saree finally warmed up to Bro. Clark and let him hold her toward the end of the night. We then had all of them over for cake and ice cream on Saturday. With all of that cake around the house we needed help eating it so we wouldn't eat it all ourselves. (Jim's watching is girlish figure you know).

The girls both blew out their candles, Jaycie twice. Jim had no sooner lit the darn things and she blew them out before we could sing to her. Saree got to blow candles out twice too. With the missionaries over for dinner on the 28th I was a little flummoxed and forgot to get a picture of her with her cake so I just took one of her with Jaycie's. (Bad Mom award).
