Bowling, Burritos, and Beauty

We had a fun morning bowling at Flipside.  I say “fun” because I won both games I played in and I usually suck at bowling.  So, go me!

Then the boys went to do some serious gaming at Jeff’s house while us girls went out for some pampering and shopping.  This was the 1st time Kayla, Alayna, and I had ever had a pedicure and it was awesome!  We ended up getting manicures tooSmile  And then, um, coldstone just happened to be literally next door.

This incredible village set up in the garage of someone's house.  It took him 2 1/2 months to create.

Day 2- Christmas and the best present ever!

We got to skype with Marisa.  It was so wonderfully amazing to see her and hear her voice!  She is doing well, although super hot and tired.  45 minutes wasn’t long enough…

This year has felt quite a bit different but it has been wonderful to be warm and with some of our family.
