Sledding at East Canyon

We went to East Canyon and we were excited to find snow to sled in!
We found a little hill that was perfect for us.
Packer was still not feeling very good, so he and Daddy stayed inside.
Grandpa and Aliyah ready to go down the hill.

Aliyah loved sledding -and would even go down by herself!
Uncle Mark and Owen
Grandma and Owen
Aliyah and Vanessa
Aunt "Kimby" and Hailey made a snowman
And Hailey loved eating the snow!

Valentine's Ball

We were all excited for Valentine's Day - it meant it was time to dress up for our Valentine's Day Ball!
We had a yummy dinner before we got all dressed up.
The girls all dressed up with their dresses, crowns, shoes, jewelry, and even makeup. 
This year they wanted to dance with flower bouquets.
Then we took pictures
Our "chandelier"
More pictures while Daddy was getting the music ready.




The princesses with their Handsome Daddy!


Hailey wanted to take a picture of Jeff and me :)
Then it was Aliyah's turn - a little clearer and she got our heads :)
After some fun dancing to Frozen music...they got to open their Valentines presents

And poor Packer! He had his 1yr checkup and his immunizations done that morning.
So between that and teething he was not feeling the best that night.  He ended up snuggling and falling asleep.  We let him sleep that night.  We missed him at our Valentine's Day Ball, but he got up in time to open his present and was awake for the Valentine's Man.
The girls loved running to the door every time they heard the doorbell to see what surprises the Valentine's Man left them.  Thanks Valentine's Man!
Then we had our dessert.  Aliyah had helped me earlier that day dip strawberries, cherries, and orange slices in white chocolate.  She was excited for us to try them.  Yum!
Packer with his sucker from the Valentine's Man.
(Notice the band-aids - poor guy!)

Yummy desserts!




We had a great Valentine's Day and we can't wait for next years!

Messy Eating

Packer likes to feed himself.
He is not a fan of baby food, never has been.
He wants the real stuff and wants to be a big boy and eat it all by himself.
So this is what he often looks like after eating - a cute mess!




Speaking of eating... here we are at Cheesecake Factory after going to the Lego Store (Jan 18).
This was our first time trying the food.  Good, but we like the cheesecake the best :)



Another after dinner picture of Packer
Aunt Kimberly made us an Olaf cake!  Super cute!
The girls loved it!
After eating the cake and giving it a thumbs up
And of course, more pictures of Packer's messy cuteness!
