Hi

Sent from my iPhone Larali

Sweet Anna

On Christmas Eve Anna's tooth was very loose, I went into her room and she was wiggling it like crazy. I asked her what she was doing, she said "I want to loose my tooth tonight so that the Tooth Fairy and Santa Clause can come on the same night". Awe, so cute. Well she didn't loose her tooth for a few more days, this is the letter that the Tooth Fairy found at about 1 pm:


Dear tooth fairy
I really hope you leave me money and for a really the best wish ever I would love one of the puppies. I would take bak all of my christmas stuff for one of thoes puppies. The one I would love for ever and ever is the cutest little runt. Please make my wish come true.
Lots and Lots of Love
Anna :)
Oh and don't tell my mom becase she said that is a Dream but I whant it to be possable and that can really happen and I would take care of it and love it forever and ever and I really love it if you make school really alot easyer for me please.
I would love it for a new year present thanks and I hope you get this message
Love, Anna

Needless to say Anna didn't get one of the puppies that Cecily and Marc were taking care of. The Tooth Fairy definitely felt like crap not being able to fulfill this little girls dream (she did write a nice note to Anna).

Filling Olivia's pjs with stuffed animals, then laughing at her as she tries to walk.


Grandma & Grandpa Gibb's house in St. George. I met Christine there and had such a wonderful time. It has been a long time since I have just hung out with Chris. We just laid around and ate (which of course Grandma always has the best food) and talked. Some how whenever I go to my parents home I feel like I am 14 years old again and feel safe and protected like everything is OK in the world. Sure love them.




Cute cousins!

Christmas Events 2011


A big group of us went to Temple Square to see the lights, Tony and my girls had never been and I hadn't been in about 20 years. It was so beautiful and absolutely freezing.




The crew, this is the same tree as below just weird how the lights didn't show up on the one.



This year we tried to experience some new Christmas outings that were "free", it was amazing how many things there are to do. We went to the town lift in Park City and watched Santa come down the mountain. Below you can see the girls faces watching him come down. Really a magical fun night.










Girls last day of school outfits.


Good friend Cecily and myself at Glenn & Susel's Christmas party Dec 22nd.


Dinner at Ruths Chris restaurant, John and Sharon paid for all of us.




Tony and I making fun of Sharon and John who wanted pictures of themselves kissing.



Claire, Shay, Anna and Livy


All dressed up!


Dec. 26th Gibb Christmas Party. The best gag gift was from Jane. Love this picture.






Cute Crosby


Sending off our wishes on Christmas night on our Chinese Lanterns! Jake, Jane and Crosby spent Christmas evening with us having dinner, opening English Christmas Crackers and playing Charades (the best was Jake trying to be a horse, classic).




Christmas morning Livy stopped opening presents and started writing in her new book from her Aunt Kelly.


Just before opening stockings and Santa's presents.


Girls dressed up for Christmas Eve cookie making party.

Thanksgiving 2011








Fun talent show.






Need to catch up on the past few months. Thanksgiving was really fun, we had great outings in the day and lots of playing cards and talking in the evening. Think Tony even enjoyed it.



Love having new babies in our family. Crosby and Finn














Thanksgiving morning football game, Tony was in heaven. Look at the high kick pretty good for an old man.





We went to a slot canyon that was so tight to squeeze through, it was really a bit scary at times wondering if you were as skinny as the person in front of you. Really a thrill.
















Incredible hikes in Snow Canyon, Tony did it rather slowly but he was a trooper. The kids went up this steep one so fast it scared me to death, I was trying to catch up to them and be cool about it but I was nervous.






Played volleyball after Thanksgiving dinner, my team won and Tony twisted his ankle really bad.
