Gigi's 3rd Birthday

On February 19th Gigi turned 3 years old. Grandma Craw flew out to celebrate with us (and also to help me unpack and move in!). She got lots of presents but I think her favorite was the Rapunzel dress that Grandma gave her! And excuse the wrapping, it was a busy week for us!

Since Gigi loves ice cream so much, Grandma got her an ice cream cake!

Later that weekend we had a little party with some of Gigi's friends in our new ward. Even with all the unpacking we did, I found a little time to hang some decorations...

We had pizza and purple Rapunzel cupcakes!

Happy Birthday Adam

Hope you had a wonderful birthday, we love you!

First Home

Since moving to Minneapolis, Adam and I have been working with a realtor to find our first home. After looking at some 25+ houses, we finally found it! We closed on our home on January 18th and spent the weekend painting the basement. The movers arrived the following Monday so now I'll be busy unpacking everything and finding a place for everything.

I'll show some more pics of the inside soon, but for now every room in the house looks like this...

We are so excited to own our very first house and can't wait to get all settled in!

Gigi meets Dora

Winters in Minnesota are so cold, so Gigi and I have been taking advantage of all the fun indoor activities that Minneapolis has to offer. Every Tuesday the Mall of America does Toddler Tuesday and this past one was Dora Rocks where you could meet Dora. Gigi loves watching the show so of course I had to take her.

She was a little scared of her at first but afterwards all she could talk about was meeting Dora, her backpack and the map!

Little Picasso

Lately Gigi has loved painting. I got her a little paint set at Target in the dollar bin and Gig has been asking me to paint it everyday!

such concentration!

Happy New Year

We rang in the New Year at Evan and Kelly's house again this year. We ate some yummy ribs from Texas Roadhouse and also played a lot of games. I only got a few pics from the night but we all had a great time together.

Fun in the Snow

During our Christmas vacation in Utah, we got a lot of snow! While staying at my parents house Gigi wanted to play in the snow with her Daddy....

She loved throwing the snow up in the air and watching it fall down
