Party Time!

This is Annie hanging out in the back of our Subaru.

She was such a good girl all day. 

This is Gabby opening her presents, it took her forever!

she was very methodical, tearing off one piece of paper at a time. 

Gabby blowing out her candles. She's actually just pretending to

blow them out because the wind kept blowing

out the match before I could light the candles.

Since Gabby's birthday is December 22 we have, for the past two years, thrown her a birthday party in the summer instead of doing one right before Christmas. We do this because we don't want her birthday to get too mixed up with Christmas, and also because its easier on our bank account when we don't have to buy Christmas presents for everyone plus birthday presents for Gabby. This year we had her party at Bear Lake. It was so much fun! 

Hot Air Balloon Festival

My dad and brother were in town last weekend and my dad owns a condo down in Eden (its a little town up Ogden Canyon). They were having there annual hot air balloon festival so we went down to check it out. They had craft booths set up and fun things for the kids, Gabby had fun on the little train ride they had going. It was fun to get to spend some time with my family. 

Funny Story!

So tonight Darren and I and the kids went to Smith's just to grab a couple things and we let Gabby push one of those little kids carts. We were over  by the pop and juice and we turned our back on her for one second and when we turned back she was loading her little cart up with beer and margarita mix! It was pretty funny.
