Fall & Halloween:
We did a family night at Hee Haw Farms. The girls enjoyed the hay ride and playing with the farm animals.
For Halloween we took advantage of the trunk or treat since our girls are still a little young to go door to door trick or treating. We went trunk or treating with most of the Stagg cousins out in Tooele.
I took the easy way out for the girls' costumes and I reused their birthday outfits of Thing 1 & Thing 2.
Thanksgiving:
Thanksgiving was a little untraditional at our house this year. Andrew and I ended up planning a last minute trip to Hawaii! We wanted to go on vacation to celebrate Andrew graduating from law school. He Graduated in December. We decided that if we didn't go while he had a few days of during Thanksgiving we probably wouldn't get a chance to go since he graduated right before christmas and only had a few days off after christmas before he had to start his class to study for the Bar. (*Shutter* the Bar...) Anyways, we decided to go play in Hawaii for Thanksgiving. My mom and sister who are amazing were nice enough to watch my girls so it was just Andrew and I and Andrews brother Eli and his wife Mickell. The 4 of us had SO MUCH FUN!
I flew the girls down to St. George so my family could watch them while we were in Hawaii. They LOVED their first plane ride.
We made it to Hawaii. This pic is at the airport. Even the airport was pretty.
We went snorkeling at Hanuama Bay. Such a beautiful place and the fish and coral were so COOL!
The next day we went on this awesome hike through the jungle to a waterfall swimming hole. We took a wrong turn 3/4 the way through and got SO lost. It was so beautiful though that we didn't mind. Once again it was so BEAUTIFUL!
Look at that view!
The waterfall/ swimming hole
You can't really see but that is Eli, Mickell, and Andrew up on the cliff waiting to jump off. I was the picture taker down in the swimming hole.
One day we went to the North Shore and watched a surfing competition.
Of course we went and checked out the temple.
We were suppose to go snorkeling with the dolphins this day but the trip got cancelled due to bad weather so we just drove around the island. It's hard to see the amazing view, but it was pretty cool.
Along our drive we found this blow hole. It was pretty cool since the waves were huge due to the stormy weather that day.
We spend a lot of our time in this car cooped up having fun driving around on the stormy day.
The next day we did get a chance to go snorkeling with the dolphins. It was SO COOL! We saw a whale, lots of dolphins and some sea turtles too. Andrew and I both got so sea sick that we forgot to take pictures. We were more in survival mode then enjoyment mode unfortunately. It was still a really cool experience swimming with the dolphins I just wish I would have gotten some pictures.
I took this picture in the plane on our way home. Hawaii is gorgeous no matter what view/angle you look at it from.
Bye Bye Hawaii!
ANDREW GRADUATED FROM LAW SCHOOL!
I am so proud of all the hard work my amazing husband has done to graduate. He is the best!
Dr. & Mrs. Stagg :)
Christmas!
Can you tell they didn't like Santa? Santa told me they have very good lungs :)
All the grand daughters got matching pajamas for christmas eve.
Hanging out watching a christmas movie.
The Girls' main present was too big to take down to St. George so we left it in Salt Lake. They were so happy when they got home and saw it! They spend so much time playing in this little house. Since it is FREEZING outside we keep it in the house.
They love playing peek-a-boo through this window.
When its really cold outside and snowing and raining you have to get creative in order to not die from boredom.
Some days you just gotta stomp around the house in your diaper and snow boots.
Some days you just gotta hang out around the house in your pajamas, oh and also beanie and mittens.
When all else fails you bundle up and play in the snow.
"Noo", as the girls' would say. They can't say their 's' very well so they call snow noo.
Lucky girls were born with their best friend.
Emma pushing Emma in the wagon..
and when that got boring they switched and Addie pushed Emma in the wagon.
When we go for walks Addie likes to ride in the wagon and Emma likes to push her toy. Such different personalities.
Someone likes to eat snow :)
All pictures are Adelyn eating snow
Someone likes to run through the snow. Emma would run through the snow all day!
I love their rosy cheeks and noses after a fun filled afternoon in the snow.
And that is pretty much it.
