A Year In Review

Let's face it, when I'm pregnant, I'm incredibly unproductive. All right, even that's an understatement.  So here's a quick look at what's been going on in our family.

Independence Day 2011

We baked apple pie.

We hung out with Brent & Carissa at the Ashworths', and the girls ran around in their tutu swimsuits.

Mexico City

Right after we found out I was pregnant, we flew down to Mexico City to visit Bud & Leslie while they were on their mission at the Mexico City Temple Visitor's Center.

 They took us around to do some sightseeing. The Pyramid of the Sun was on Dan's must-see list.

Halloween 2011

We went to a pumpkin patch. In Los Angeles that means a parking lot temporarily filled with bales of hay and severely overpriced pumpkins, but we had a lot of fun (we bought our pumpkins from the grocery store, though - much cheaper!)

Juliet dressed up as a wonderfully chunky ballerina.

 

She went trick-or-treating with Eliza and Victoria.

Then somebody answered the door wearing a scary mask. She was terrified and insisted we carry her all night...it wasn't all bad :-)

Juliet's 2nd Birthday

For Juliet's birthday, we met up with Brent & Carissa at a play place. They had an entire room full of play kitchens, a ball pit, and slides!

Christmas 2011

 We tried to take family Christmas pictures, but they mostly turned out like this...

There were a couple cuties...

but we gave up on the idea of sending out Christmas cards.
