Snow! Snow! Snow!

A couple weeks ago we had our first real big snow storm.  Austin and his dad went to shovel the driveway and walks.  Jenna wanted to go out and help.  Her help lasted 5 min.  It was too cold and windy!

My two eskimos!

Can't believe it was February and the first time she was able to put on her snow boots!

I hope we have another chance to play in the snow.  

Jenna wants to make a snowman next time!

So Happy Together

It has been an amazing 4 years!

Here's to a lifetime more!

I love you babe!

Ready to go!

Last month Jenna's cousin Claire had her birthday.  Her big present was this bike and helmet.  Jenna couldn't get enough of it!  Can you guess what she wants for her birthday now?

Our own little Rudolph

So excited about her "Tangled" book!

Jenna was a so fun to watch this Christmas.

Every present she opened brought pure joy to her face!

Taking her unwrapping seriously.

I love that she gets excited about clothes!

That's my girl!

Jenna loves to draw.

We enjoyed being home and spending time together. 
It was nice to have the time off!

O Come Let Us Adore Him!

 

We are thankful to have this season to reflect on the 

birth and life of our Savior Jesus Christ.  

He is the Son of God 

and we know all things are possible because of Him. 

Wishing all of you a very Merry Christmas and Happy New Year!

We hope 2012 is a wonderful year for all!

Family Pictures 2011

I am really pleased with how our pictures turned out! I was stressing over trying to find someone who was affordable and would give us a CD of the prints too.  There is a place in Lehi called Camera Shy.  I had driven by it many times and saw their advertisement for a 30 min. sitting and a CD with copy right for $89! That was the cheapest rate I had come across.  They also print the pictures there in the studio if you want to purchase them there.  The photographer was great with Jenna.  She warmed up quickly and we got some good pictures that I think really show who she is! Enjoy!

You can definitely see the many sides of Jenna's personality in these pictures!

P.S. If you go to Camera Shy's Facebook page you can print a coupon for a free 11x14!

Santa

Our local Costco had Santa come the weekend before Thanksgiving.  We braved the long line of anxious parents and kids to have our turn with the jolly elf.  Jenna was an angel!  She was so patient waiting in line.  When we got close enough to see Santa, Jenna wanted to be held so she could see him.  I was nervous that her first encounter would result in tears and screams.  She is very wary of people she doesn't know, especially men.  She has a scowl that lets you know exactly how she feels about you.  Jenna watched the girl in front of us, who was probably 4, freak out when it was her turn.  I thought for sure this would set Jenna off thinking Santa was scary.  Thankfully it didn't!  We walked up and I tried to put her on his lap, but she wouldn't have it.  Santa handed her a treat, which she accepted gladly.  She allowed Santa to have his hands on her shoulders as she sat in front of him.  It took about 4 pictures before we got a little bit of a smile out of her.  All in all, it was a good experience.  When we were done and walking away, Jenna wanted to go back to see Santa again.  I'm so glad that there was no melt down!  I told Austin we wouldn't have to do this again until our next kid was 2.  And who knows when that will be?

Merry Christmas!

Love,

The Cowleys
