It's a Party!!

Nearly everyday the girls throw a party. This means that every blanket and pillow in the house is draped over one of the girls' beds. Then a variety of stuffed animals, dress-ups, and whatever else they are in the mood for ends up piled as high as they can get them. Then they sit on the bed and tell stories, play games, and giggle. Ashley always includes Justin in this. Now he asks, "upstairs, party?" to Ashley. He loves being involved in this kind of stuff. They are cute kids. They play so well together and have endured the endless hours of being home amazingly. I am grateful.
Mia just might be the happiest baby around. She loves to smile and has started cooing. She is getting big way too fast. I love babies. We're excited to drive to Utah tomorrow and show her off. It is 50 and sunny here today, but we hear a storm is coming. I'm not brave enough to cross Wyoming in a storm, but all of our presents went home with Melanie and Jeff so we need to make it there before Christmas. Hopefully we make it quickly and safely. I am busy packing today and getting everything taken care of. It's quite a bit of stuff for a family of 6.
Another shout out for the Odyssey to hold it all.

Have a wonderful Christmas and safe trip! Good luck with new endeavors and with the kiddos - Rise up and be proud to carry those sweet ones where ever you want - even in Walmart! They are a gift.

Hugs - we miss you,
Deon

Michelle, your blog is so cute. Your kids are so cute. You are an amazing mother. I wish that you lived closer to me so that you could rub off on me more.
How about a post about you and your bike? Have you gotten to use it much yet, or not so much cause it's winter?
