2009 goes out with a bang, part 2

Just before Christmas, Ben's family joined us up here in Utah. It was really fun to have (almost) everyone together again! We played games like, my favorite, The Great Dalmuti, and "Trains," as Jared called Ticket to Ride. We even got to out to see a movie thanks to some great babysitters! Harmony LOVED how her Aunt Jenn made her laugh, and would toss her to and fro! I got some cute videos of it.

We got to have our friend Amanda Isbell spend part of Christmas day with us, and played Trains and Great Dalmuti too! She was our inspiration to go out and see Sherlock Holmes. Thanks Amanda! Good movie! She also made a very popular dessert for us, Egg Nog cheesecake! Now I am NOT a fan of egg nog, but I must say, it was pretty dang tasty!

2009 goes out with a bang! Part 1

SOooooooo....December was chock full of goings on...ons...on? Anyway. I have a LOT of pictures and videos to post! So I think I'll start slow, just to get something new up and out there in the blogiverse.

First things first. Jon. Ben's little brother, Jonathan, headed out for his church Mission to Spokane, Washington. He will be gone for two years, so we wanted to make sure we got lots of hugs in there! Harmony looooooves her Uncle Jon, so here's a video of them.

Then- just to be different, again, I cut off a lot of my hair and then dyed it purple. Sadly, it's faded into somewhat of a dull brownish red by now, but I'll probably do it up again soon!

this one is the first day, of just the cut.

Here's the color

And. On a complete sidenote- Last Sunday, Harmony went to her first day of Nursery!! She liked it! Mostly. She especially liked the last part, including snack, songs and bubbles! Here she is popping bubbles and not wanting to leave!

HINT: Harmony's the one in the dress
