K, so I haven't blogged ALL year appartently because this picture is from a Jazz game in January. We took the kids to their FIRST game and they LOVED it! Arianna was especially 'jazzed' about it as you can probably tell, Enzo was but it is hard to tell since he HATES having his picture taken. A big thanks to some good friends for the great tix!
Next, we had a little pre-olympic tour of Park City with the kids to get us all in the Olympic Spirit.
I am sure we have a good chance of winning the Bobsled race w/ this team.
Next was an unforgettable weekend up in Heber. We hung out with some good friends from Marco's work and watched as the snow kept falling and falling and falling.
Before we knew it we were all snowed in and loving it!
The kids were in love with the simplest things and I loved watching it all unfold.
They were mesmerized by the fire and thrilled at the chance to help stoke it. They loved the dog. They loved all the yummy food and the junk food, even more.
Most of all they loved their time in the snow with Dad!
Arianna lost her second tooth (by now they have both grown in pretty well, but here was the gap).
She keeps hoping that other teeth are loose, but no luck yet.
Our littlest buddy turned TWO!! I think he grew 2 inches while we were away too! He is seeming so grown up all of a sudden (you know, for a 2 year old). He talks up a storm and he keeps up with his big brother and sister in every way possible.
He really likes dinosaurs lately so I made him a dinosaur cake. I am NOT a baker, as many of you already know, so it was a bit of work for a gal like me.
He loved it SOOOOOO much though that it made it all worth it! He kept talking about his 'dino take' all day long, those were even his last words before going to sleep and his first words upon waking. We could have gone w/o gifts and he still would have felt like he had a really grand birthday. Funny what kids end up loving.
So, Happy New Year and Happy Valentines and all that good stuff. In case you haven't heard by now, we're having a GIRL! We are so very excited!!! That means we will be moving our kids' rooms all around in preparation for her arrival. Arianna will take the old nursery and get the blue room she has always wanted. The baby will get her old pink room and my boys will have their long-awaited bunk-beds. Massimo can't WAIT to share a room w/ his big brother; every night after family prayers and scriptures and stories he cries when I take him into his own room. 'Endo's woom' he chants. They are such a darling duo!
Enzo has had a birthday too, just recently, but since it was AFTER our trip I will consider myself caught up for now and get back to you on his big day later.
Phew!
