Taylor's 5th Birthday

Taylor's favorite thing about having a birthday is getting Breakfast in Bed



Grandma Ricks came and surprised Taylor with a visit! I dropped Taylor off at school and headed to the airport to pick up Grandma. I didn't even give Taylor a hint as to any kind of surprise so when she saw Grandma it took her a little while to figure out what was going on. Although it wasn't quite the reaction we were looking for, Taylor really thought that was a really cool birthday surprise!


We all went to lunch and then got pedicures...another favorite activity of Taylors.


That night we had a birthday dinner at Red Robin

The next day was the big friend birthday party. Taylor still loves her disney princesses and especially Sleeping Beauty so we had a princess tea party. All the girls came dressed up and we tried to keep everything very girly.

Turning the big 3-0!!

Alright, with all my complaining about turning 30 I have to admit it isn't so bad. ;) I had a blast the week of my birthday, so if this is what old age is like then bring it on!! I had a great birthday with celebrations that went on for over a week. Who would complain about that? The weekend before my birthday I headed up to Winter Park with some friends where we went stayed up late playing games, laughing, eating nothing but candy, and skiing. It was awesome and I could have called it good with that. But on my birthday I was spolied again with breakfast in bed, lunch with my friend Laura, pedicures with Jami, dinner at Red Robin with my family and friends and then chocolate cake! Taylor loves birthdays and was so excited for me all day long which was too cute! Then the next weekend, Jami and Nate put together a totally awesome 80's party at Skate City. Everyone looked white hot in their best 80's get up and we rocked the rink showed all the preteens how to have a good time. It was so much fun! I was definitely spoiled! Thank you everyone who took the time to make me feel so loved! It was one of the best birthdays I have ever had!!

Tis the season

We kicked started the Christmas season with some fun activities with the girls. We went with some friends to see Santa. We also spent the night listening to Christmas carols, riding the train, petting reindeer, drinking hot chocolate and freezing our buns off. A fun time was had by all and it definitely got us excited for Christmas!

Taylor couldn't get enough of these girls singing Christmas carols Trying to stay warm, one of the coldest years yet...probably around 15 degrees. brrr!
Riding the train. The highlight of every year!

Dance Recital

Taylor and Kennedy both had their first dance recital. They took dance from a lady who taught out of her basement and they both had such a great time! They learned so much and at the end they put on a recital to show off their skills. It was the cutest thing to watch and they both did so well!


Crew came to watch and brought the girls flowers, they loved that!
