5.12.10

2010: It was the best of times, it was the worst of times (but I only post the best).

In case you didn't notice in the 100's of pictures I posted, my hair is brown now. This color is actually a lot closer to my natural color as of late than the blonde. It's been a couple of months, but I'm still getting used to it.
Sam came to Utah for a week and we had an amazing day skiing at Sundance. I also got to go with Brian, Steven, and my dad, but the snow wasn't nearly as good (sorry guys!).

Christmas Eve Cutie. Most of the snow was gone.

Capri and Brecken weren't too fond of Santa this year. They'll learn.
It was even warm enough to go for a bike ride.
Work Party at Phat Cats. Brecken decided she liked Nikki and Shanlon better than she liked her mama that night.
I just think this picture of the Lewis boys is amazing.
Tough guy. Cross-country skiing with our babe.
JP started working at the Sundance Nordic Center and we've discovered a new hobby.
I love playing in the mountains, especially when Brecken gets to come along.
Little Snow Bunny.
This was on our anniversary. Sometimes we (I) are crazy parents and take Brecken everywhere we go. I just can't get over having to leave her for work and then leave her whatever else I want to do. We were happy to have her with us when we went skiing, but dinner was another story. Chef's Table would have been a little more relaxing without a munchkin in tow. The funny part is, we had 3 or 4 family members offer to babysit her. You live and you learn :) She wasn't terrible, just hyper and didn't want to sit still. JP's parents took us to La Caille the night before (I know, super fancy) and we left her with my parents. It was so nice to have a night out with adults, but 2 nights in a row was too much for me.


6th Anniversary breakfast at Guru's.

Brecken and her funny faces. I have to admit that 2010 was not my favorite year of all time, but this sweet little face made just about everything easier and better.


Christmas Day after cross-country skiing. Brecken ALWAYS kicks one shoe off.





Merry Christmas! We celebrated with both of our families and our own little family.
Two big babies to take care of. Twins??
The Nativity Play gone crazy. That's the Anderson family for you.

I wonder what those doll heads taste like?
Libs and Brecks. Cute. Brecken sleeps until about 10:00 most of the time, so 7:30 was a little early for her. We didn't see too many smiles until later that day.
The Lewises (we hate that you spell our name like that).
1...2...3... weeeee! Brecken could do this all day.


The toy store. Look at that happy face.

We went to the Riverwoods to look at the lights, eat dinner, take a carriage ride, and play with Uncle Josh.
Brecken repeats Josh's name over and over and over again. She sure loves him.



We went to Zoo Lights before Christmas with Emily, Max, and Molly. Brecken thought she was in Heaven. She loved the animals once she realized there was glass or a cage to protect her from them.



I thought the lights were so cute.

Not sure what she thought about the Merry-Go-Round.
Emily and Molly.
Best buddies.
All the grandkids.
Gangy, Graham Cracker? Her name still hasn't been established.
Faker.

Cutting down the Christmas tree. The dogs came to help.






I love this picture. Brecken was soo happy when we found the perfect tree.

Happy New Year!!!!

Phineas signed "dad" when he saw JP and "dog" when he saw the dogs. I think Phineas would really like JP! :)

You guys are so stinking cute. The picture of Brecken and Capri on Santa's lap is so classic. I love it!

Your dark hair is sexy. No lie.

Happy Anniversary!

You guys are crazy and never boring and it is so cool. Glad we got to play with you a little bit. Brecken is the cutest, I love her little personality. You really do need to come visit.

I love your crazy long posts. First of all, LOVE your dark hair. So cute. My favorite pictures had to be the Santa freakout picture (Lucy has one exactly like it) and the Anderson family nativity. Too good. Brecken is so darling. Her cheeser face makes me laugh. I'm glad you guys are doing so well.
