Poor little lamb. Miss daredevil Claire decided to jump off the spinning office chair she was standing on (she claims Emery told her to, but Emery denies it!) ...the landing didn't go so well. But I have to say...she does look quite adorable with her little cast and sling.

Ogden Temple Open House

Over the weekend we took the opportunity to go to the Ogden Temple Open House. We met up with our wonderful friends, the Parkinsons, to take our families on the tour. It was a beautiful day, and such a beautiful temple. The artwork, windows, woodwork...so many gorgeous details. We loved the beauty and peace of the temple, and the girls were very reverent as we walked through. They said their favorite parts were the baptismal font and the bride's room.

After the temple we had a yummy lunch at a local Italian restaurant, checked out the Hill Air Force Base Museum, and then grabbed ice cream before we headed home.

I know the day will come when she will be way too cool to hold her mom's hand at the store...so when that little hand grabs mine, I hold on tight! #avri

Back to School

The girls got to be pampered at Aunt Lindsay's salon for back to school haircuts. We gave Emery a darling bob, Avri had a few inches trimmed off, and even Claire got a little trim. We love going to see Aunt Linny and getting all dolled up!!

The girls had Back to School Night on Monday. We visited classrooms, dropped off school supplies, talked to teachers, and a few other things. They were both really excited, but a little timid too. 

Avri had her first day of school on Tuesday. She was so excited!! She had a great day, loved being back with friends and back to learning new things. She loves her teacher, Ms. McNabb, and is super excited for the mystery class pet they will be getting next week!

Emery's first day was on Friday. She couldn't wait!! She looked adorable, and after some pictures and dropping off her backpack, she was out on the playground with Avri! Ave was an excellent big sister and watched out for Emery and rode home with her on the bus. I'm excited for all the ways the girls will learn and grow this school year!

Frozen Party

The girls planned the cutest Frozen party for the family. They spent a lot of time planning and decorating. It was so sweet to see them so excited as they worked together on their special project. Their creativity was impressive! When it was time to party, we all had a character and costume. Avri was Elsa, Emery was Anna, Claire was Olaf (and the stinker would not let me take a picture...she looked adorable!!) Dad was Prince Hans/Kristoff, and Mom got to be Sven. Yes, Sven. The reindeer. We played pin the carrot nose on Olaf, acted out scenes along with the movie, and then made marshmallow Olafs and Annas. It was so fun and we were so proud of the girls for their planning and putting on such a great party!! I didn't get many great pics, but here's what I do have...

Hans and Anna singing "Love is an Open Door"

Some of the decor. Snowflakes, blue heart pictures, there were also blue streamers hung, and balloons.

The cutie party planners and our marshmallow creations. :)
