"It's a strike!"

Just a little help from Daddy.

We had a great time in UT for the annual family Christmas bowling party and New Years. We were able to have an extended stay, which was really nice to not have to do everything warp speed! We even had time to catch up with old friends and see some sights.

Merry Christmas!

Thanksgiving in Philly!

View of the parade from our hotel balcony! Soo cool!

All of us at the aquarium--oh, and my preggo belly.

The famous Liberty Bell.

This year we decided to take a trip to somewhere we've never been before--Philadelphia. It worked out great because Lois got to come down from New York and join us for Thanksgiving! We had a good time exploring the history and sites. Scott's goal was to eat a cheesesteak everyday, and we almost achieved it! The only day we didn't have one was on Thanksgiving. From this trip we also learned that it's nearly impossible to make a left hand turn in New Jersey! What should've taken us 10 minutes, ended up taking 45 minutes because we kept getting turned around. Even our GPS didn't know what to do. We also took a 2 hour drive to Hershey, PA and toured the Chocolate factory. Brin loved the ride and singing cows. All in all it was a great time and it worked out great. Even traveling with a 2 year old on a 4 hour flight was better than I expected.

2 year old pictures

How sweet and innocent....

She's a goofy kid sometimes...

Love this one!

Yep, she's got the attitude thing down.

Our little girl is growing up so fast! Here are her 2 year old pictures that we had taken a few weeks ago. I know I should post more often, but seriously I'm worn out from this pregnancy and working! I love some of these head shots. When Brin saw the pictures she said, "Doggie shirt? I wanna wear doggie shirt!" I was shocked she actually wore the bow in her hair for all of the pictures--thank goodness, her Daddy gives me a hard time about buying matching hairbows!

That's right, we officially have a two year old on our hands. She is quite the handful, always full of energy. This year on her birthday we had an Elmo/Sesame Street themed party and invited a bunch of friends. All in all, everyone had a great time. I think Brin's favorite part was stuffing the Elmo pinata with candy the night before. She just kept saying, "Elmo, candy?" Brin's daddy was the decorator of the adorable Cookie Monster and Elmo cupcakes. He also did a fantastic job maning the grill. This past weekend we had a small family birthday party in UT for Brin. Thanks everyone for making Brinlie's birthday extra special!
