Kaley's Baptism

A couple weeks before Kaley's baptism, I took her out after school one day (in the freezing cold), and took some pictures in her beautiful dress.  Mom and Grandma made it (mostly Grandma).  :)  

 The Day!  Kaley and I made this little white cupcake dress.  She loved it!

 So excited, and can't hardly wait!  11 am couldn't come soon enough!  

 There were 3 kids that were baptized - Hadlee - her good friend that was born on the same day, Brinton - a friend that has been in her school class a couple years, and Kaley.  It was a very special day.  She looked like an angel, and couldn't have been happier the whole time!

Here's her friend Hadlee.

 We had so many friends and family members that came to support Kaley, it was amazing!  Our good friends the Murrays and the Warners came to show love for Kaley, and it meant a lot to us.  

Papa and Grandma - these are Kaley's Great Grandparents

Great Grandmas Hayes and Cox (Kaley is freezing.  The water wasn't as warm as she had hoped, and it took forever for her body to warm up after!)

 The Cox side - again, somehow we missed Cam and Rach Co.  

 Putnam side - all my siblings were there!  

What a special day for a special girl!  :)  We couldn't be more proud of Kaley and her decision to be baptized!  Thank you for all the kind words of support from all our friends and family!  We're blessed to have such a great support system!  

Ringing in the New Year!

We spent some time with the Cox side on New Year's Day.  We met them at Thanksgiving Point and went to the Dinosaur Museum.  Thanks to Grandma and Grandpa for our new family pass!  

We took a group picture, but it was after Cam and Rach and cousins left!  It was such a fun time!  I'm sure we will be here MANY more times this year!  :)

End of the Year Fun!

Friday after Christmas, we had a little movie party and watched one of our new movies.  The kids loved staying up late. They watched Night at the Museum: Battle of the Smithsonian.  It's a cute movie and the kids loved it.  

 Saturday, we had a backyard fire.  We burned all the boxes that we had left from Christmas.  

 This one's for Stac.  Thanks for my cute new earrings and necklace!  They match my new pink sweater perfectly!  :)  You know me so well!

 New Year's Eve was good.  We had planned to go out to eat that night, but our fun was cut short because I was feeling really crappy.  Josh made the best out of it, and went and got us movie popcorn and ice cream.  I made waffles with our new waffle maker.  We played Mexican Train and watched a movie and ate ice cream.  It was still a good time.  :)

 The temperatures these past couple weeks have been SO cold!  We haven't really even been able to go outside without freezing our brains!  The other day, we made a huge fort and watched a movie.

 Josh ordered a whole bunch of stuff for scouts online.  A big cooler came in this box.  The kids had fun with it for days!  They decorated it, playing in it, jumped on it - you know, just had fun!  

That's a wrap on 2012!  Here's to more fun in 2013!
