Reese turns 7

 I can't believe another year has gone by and this girl is 7! We had a pretty casual birthday celebration this year. Todd had to work and I was so miserably pregnant that we weren't really up for doing a big party. We picked up cousin Brooklyn and spent part of the day in Logan. Reese picked to have lunch at IHOP. We also stopped and picked up a few activities for the girls to do once we got back to Grandma's house for a sleepover. We had things to color, a bead making kit, and stuff to do our nails.

 The girls even picked out matching t-shirts.

That night we had a few of our cousins over for cake, ice cream and to open a few presents.

She got a lot of fun things for her birthday a Monster High Doll (from Ethan and Gavin), a huge jewelry making kit (from Dylan and Remy), Ever After High Doll and cookbook (from Brooklyn and Mason), a new outfit for her American Girl Doll (from Ava), Maxi dress and denim jacket (from Grandma Nan), a bathtub set for her AG Doll (from Grandma and Grandpa), kitchen set for AG doll and Sew Cool machine (from Mom and Dad). On the way back to Pocatello we stopped in Downey and Reese opened her present from Grandma Z and Grandpa, a horse for her AG doll. She was pretty spoiled.

Reese is such a sweet girl. She is a great helper and great big sister. We're so lucky to have her in our family.

Merry Christmas

Don't worry about the fact that I look completely ridiculous... here's a belly pic at 32 weeks.

1st Grade Christmas Program

Reese singing in the 1st Grade Christmas program. It was adorable. We were on the very back row and unable to snap a picture of Reese doing her part (and we even arrived 20 minutes early). Luckily she was on the top row for the rest of the program! Grandma Z and Grandpa came and watched the program too.
