I thought I would post before it really has been an entire year of no blogging. Nice. Way to go Sarah.
I'll use this post to update you on last September through May:
SEPTEMBER
Emma started Kindergarten and Lucy kept asking to go to school....the whole year...She just wants to be like her big sis!
OCTOBER
Lucy turned 3 and had a Frankenstein cake. Her birthday party included playing at Arctic Circle and choosing her own cake from Dick's Market. Should I be worried or proud that she chose monsters over princesses?
We also celebrated our favorite holiday - Halloween. Emma won the costume contest with her Pirate Princess costume and Lucy inadvertently dressed as a dress up box that exploded. Hence the picture of the cute carved pumpkins and not the disgrace of a costume for my 3 year old.
NOVEMBER
I met Edward Cullen.
DECEMBER
It started off windy....
But ended up great! We had a fantastic Christmas. We made the traditional gingerbread houses, did the traditional trip to see the lights at temple square, and Santa surprised the girls with what they had on the Christmas wish list and more! He's so generous.
JANUARY
Matt and I went on a business trip to Maryland and then took a train to Manhattan. It was a really great trip even though we were rained on a lot. The highlight was:
Getting our names pulled out of the WiCKED lottery for front row tickets!
FEBRUARY
The great invention of our personalized sugar cookies took shape and Sarah Martin and I began to realize that Sugar Rush Bakers could be legit. Baking days continue....
MARCH
Emma turns 6 and decides to have a camping birthday party which was actually a blast! We set up a tent in the backyard, sent the kids on a scavenger hunt and had a
Campfire Cake!
We also took a quick trip to Matt's favorite place in the world: Moab. Emma loves camping, just like her Dad and is drawn to the great outdoors.
APRIL
Thanks to the generosity of Grandpa Craig, we lived every parent's dream of fulfilling their kid's dreams by taking them to Disneyland. When there's time I'll most likely do a whole Disneyland post, but for now just know it truly is the Happiest Place on Earth!
We also celebrated Easter. We love doing the traditional Easter Basket hunt in the morning and then the big hunt with the family in the evening.
MAY
Months of preparation paid off in May when we crowned a new Miss Farmington at the Pageant I directed. It was a huge success!
Adorable Emma finished up her year of Kindergarten with a program and a haircut. She grew so much over the last year!
Wow. I did it. Got us to June. Next post....Summer Fun.
