Catch Up... {December}

Once again, this month just flew by!  We had a fun filled December!

We went to Benj's work Christmas party at Red Rock... Benj insisted on the bowtie.  I like it though!

We tried to make a gingerbread house... it would NOT stay up.  But the girls had fun eating the candy.  :)



Lexi had her first piano recital.  She played Rudolph, first on her own then a duet with her teacher.  She did so good!!  She's only been in lessons since October, but she loves it so far!

Benj and I celebrated our 11 yr. anniversary.  My brother volunteered to babysit so we could go on a date.  We went to dinner at Terra Rossa in Red Rock and then saw the new Sherlock Holmes movie (loved it!).   Bret brought cousin Abby to come play and this is how we found her when we got home, snuggling with Ava in her bed.  :)  So cute.


Did this fun activity with the girls while on Christmas break... Baked Tortilla Snowflakes

Benj really wanted to take the girls sledding up at Mt. Charleston.  He had bought a sled a long time ago.  So we headed up and I got one picture before our camera battery died.  We got more pics on Benj's phone though.  The girls lasted about 20 min before they were "COLD!"  Yep, we are pretty wussy living here in the desert.

Wow! It was a fun filled December for you all. I love every single picture. The pic of Abby and Ava is way better than the "wall of shame", ha! Those two! Those snowflake tortillas are way cute. So glad the girls got to experience some snow. Lexi looks great for her piano recital. Good for her! Can't wait for her to play a song for us next time we visit. Thanks for the update Mindy, we love you all very much.

Way to get them to the snow! I think everyone feels that way after 20 minutes... it's just whether or not you have someplace warm to go afterwards how long you last.
