Livy's New Dance Moves

This movie makes me so happy. Words just can't describe. 

Bowling with the Farnsworths

One thing Farnsworth's do best is bowling. It brings a whole new dimensions with little ones. But still fun nonetheless. All competitiveness seems to go out the window though. I love this family. 

Farnsworth Christmas

For Christmas this year my sisters both came in town on the 26th of December. So we just waited to do our Christmas on the 27th! It worked out perfectly. We had our traditional Christmas breakfast - monkey bread, scrambled eggs, sausage, and oranges with powdered sugar. We ate and then dove into the presents. It was fun to open presents for 4 little girls ages 3, 2, 2, and 1. They were all pink and princess oriented. 

Sweet Livy and Lucy making up for lost time - their first duet. 

We also finally got to meet new baby Liam! He's the Grow's newest little addition, and he's just the most content and cutest baby. 

Dad, the dish man. 

To go along with Livy's Princess Castle, she also got Ariel and Eric's carriage. She loved it. But she asked over and over again to go to Livy's House because she wanted to play with her new toys in her princess castle. She is just the sweetest girl. 

The Grow's had us this year for our family gift exchange. Melissa got the cutest gift. She gave Livy and Lucy some necklaces that say "Sisters at Heart", and they each have a little jeweled heart. They are only 6 weeks apart, they look a lot a like, get along so well, play so well, and just love each other dearly. It's so sweet to see their sweet friendship grow. 

My mom, the amazing seamstress that she is made the girls their own princess dress. I've been trying to convince my mom to sell them, they are so darling, and look so good! We had a Cinderella, Snow White, Rapunzel, and Ariel. The girls all wore them all day long. 

Then Nanny came over for a few minutes to share with us some her jewelry. We were all so grateful to get a piece of jewelry that means so much to her, and that she loves so dearly. She is an amazing woman, and we are so lucky to have her example in our lives. 

All the kiddos were taking their naps, so we played a game called Hedbanz. It was way fun. Good laughs. 

We all were a little worn out. I think we all should've taken nice naps like little Addie here. 

We went out to dinner at CPK for Crissi's birthday, ate a bunch of pizza, came back to the house to sing to her, each cheesecake, open her presents, and all went to the BYU Basketball game. The girls were all pretty exhausted, but seemed to have a good time nonetheless. Farnsworth Family Fun at its finest. 

Bowling with the Jacksons

Wednesday morning we took advantage of cousin time and braved the crazy snow storm and went bowling. We got a kids lane and a parents lane. Everyone seemed to have a great time. The kids did almost just as well as the parents, with bumpers they all did really well! It was a good time. Livy loved being with all of her older cousins, she looks up to them, and loves them so much. After some bowling, we grabbed some lunch and headed home for some much needed naps. 

Christmas 2012

Christmas with a two-year old is a wonderful thing. Santa brought Livy an awesome Princess Castle for Christmas. It came with Cinderella and Snow White, and there is a bedroom, a bathroom, a dance floor, and a place for them to sing. It's so fun to see her so happy with her new toy. 

We opened presents at our house and had our little Christmas before heading down to the Jackson's. 

Jackson tradition is to have everyone get dressed and ready, have cinnamon rolls and a sausage breakfast casserole, then go downstairs to see what Santa brought, then open presents. 

After a little nap we went down to the Farnsworth house for a nice beautiful Christmas dinner. We watched the animated movie Luke II, again, since loved seeing the camels, angels, Mary, and baby Jesus. It was such a wonderful Christmas day. We were so lucky to spend it with both of our families, and especially our own little family. 

Christmas Eve

Christmas Eve truly felt like Christmas. We got dumped with several inches of snow, it was a beautiful winter wonderland. We stayed home most of the day and just enjoyed not having to be any where, had no last minute errands, and could just relax. We then headed down to the Jackson's for a nice Christmas Eve dinner, then we tried to do a nativity with the kids. Well, we basically got most of them dressed up for about 12 seconds, and almost got a good picture. Livy was by far the cutest little Mary I've ever seen. The kids all opened their new jammies, put them all to bed and just chatted away - adults only. We went home slept in our own warm bed, enjoyed our little Christmas tree, and our own Christmas jammies. 

Cookies for Santa

Livy was excited to have cousins in town for Christmas to make cookies for Santa with! Grammy made the dough, then we all rolled it out, cut it, baked them, frosted and sprinkled the cookies! The kids loved it, and Santa loved it too!
