Ok, so you need to email me and let me know where you found those cute backgrounds. Can you print those? I am taking the plunge and going to change to digital scrapbooking as of Jan 1st. These are so cute, except the part where we haven't gotten any snow yet. Maybe I'll be able to use these pages one day.
It looks like your kids had a great time. I especially loved the homemade boots. My Mom is reading the Glen Beck book and apparently this is what his Dad used to make him do when he was little. Maybe one day one of your kids will write a book about their parents and how they had to do this too. Oh, I can only imagine a book written by your twins....
Looks like you guys are having fun in Utah. I've heard that you have gotten a lot of snow...hopefully you'll be able to dig yourselves out and head for warmer weather when the time comes. It will be so nice to thaw out on the beach! I wish I could, too!
YOU GUYS GOT 2 PLAY IN THE SNOW?!?! YOU GUYS R SOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO LUCKY. The only time it snowed in Simi valley was like 7 years ago and it only snowed for about 3 seconds it seems like! By the by, Happy New Year!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Kelsey , Afton and I miss you guys sooo much. Nevermind, incorrect information, ... WE ALL DO!
Your Friend Amelia
P.s Can you give me your Florida address and phone number? Gracias!
So I know you posted this awhile ago, but I'm just barely getting caught up on everyone's blog. I love all the snow pictures. It makes me miss it a tiny bit for my kids. And I love how you guys did the plastic bags! I remember doing that at our Provo house. With a rubber band around.
gwyneth: (about a rule the kids made for family baseball games) "we have deemed it to be fair and necessary".
liesel: (after finding a great book at the library) "my day could only get better if i got some new boots. or if i suddenly happened to meet selena gomez."
gretchen: "how did pace get his name? from toothpaste without the 't'?"
madeline: (after reading the scriptures about the daughter of jared who marries a guy so he'll destroy her grandfather)"i wouldn't marry any one who wanted me to kill my dad. even if he was cute." liesel's reply: "not even taylor lautner?"
liesel: "here are the new requirements for a boyfriend: a fast car and nice shoes."
gwyneth: "i can't wait 'till i'm a mom and have an unlimited shoe budget."
gwyneth: "i was an only child for like 5 seconds. it was bliss, i'm sure."

gwyneth: "they didn't have technology back when mom was a kid."
gretchen: "mom, i just have to tell you one thing. you need to buy us more stuff."
gretchen: "this dinner is not making my day happy."
gwyneth: "so, mom. what do you miss most about being an omnivore?"
gretchen: "why do every place you have to pay money, and they get richer and richer? are they trying to be mean?"
gretchen: "i know the rules for when someone's hitting you. you just stay calm, and then when she's done hitting, you say 'no thanks'."
liesel: "who invented healthy, anyway?"
gretchen: "it tickles my brain when i do a summersault."
