Dads and Donuts 09'

It's time for Dad's and Donuts again at Marshall's Preschool! He was so excited to take his Dad to school and show him around. Marshall had just gotten off of a surgery rotation, so he was glad to go relax for a couple hours before going back to study again. First, the kids taught their dads how to sit "criss cross applesauce" on their mats. Next, they went over the calendar events, performed science experiments, made snowflakes, played games, and finished off the night with reading books and eating donuts-----what could be a better way for these two Marshall's to spend the night? :) Teaching the dads how to sit on their mats at Preschool

Best buds eating and reading
Marshall is loving reading and is getting so good

Savana and Gabe do Pictures!...for atleast a little while :)

We had so much fun taking pictures of these two cuties and my mom and I were laughing sooo hard at how naughty and uncooperative Savana became. Catherine had to leave to pick up Grant from work, so my mom and I tried to postion them for a series of pics. Seriously wouldn't have succeeded with anything without my mom there. Thanks for everything mom- love you lots!
Aside from the fact that Savana looks like she could eat Gabe---there were some cute shots
Savana started to let us know she was nearing the end of picture day...
Getting a little restless- starting to pull on our lil cousin's flowers..
Starting to get annoyed...
Getting tired...
And we're DONE!...well atleast Savana was.

Christmas Trip to UT

We got to visit our families in Ut for Christmas and the first thing Marshall and I noticed was how beautiful the mountains are! (We really miss mountains in Philly) It was so great to drive around in the snow...instead of ice storms and see all of the beauties Utah has to offer---we just felt so lucky for being able to grow up in such a beautiful State! Wow, that was kinda sappy!
Anyway, hope everyone had a wonderful Christmas and New Year's and got to spend it with their loved ones! We were able to do so many fun things: new baby for Catherine and Grant (Gabrielle Alexa "Gabe" ), Kelley gets the flu, Christmas at my parents' house, trip to Scofield at my in law's cabin, trip to Vegas (without kids), Chris' baby blessing, dinners, lunches, etc. We were sad to leave but so grateful for such amazing families. Thank you again to our parents for all you do for us------we love you VERY much!
So before our trip I told Marshall that he needed to remind me to take pics this trip cause' we always get so caught up in everything and I forget to take them! He said "why? so they can end up on the blog?" I said "exactly love"! He then responded to me with this classic pose....so I am of course posting it!:) Marshall and I went to Vegas for New Years with some of our friends Selen, Me, Marshall
