We took Kayla and Avery bowling for their first time for family night. It was nice to have the bumpers for them and for me. Spencer gave me a hard time for using them, but I think he was just mad because I won!

Princesses on Ice!
After much anticipation we made it to the Disney's Princesses on Ice. Out of all days for it to start snowing, it had to be the day we had to drive to Denver. We got to the show safe and sound and it was worth the drive. Avery and Kayla were mesmerized by the show. We really had a great time.

It Gingerbread time!
I love family traditions. Though we can't be in Utah to make gingerbread houses with all the Elmore cousins, I make sure we still make them with our family. We always enjoy inviting another family to decorate with us. This year we had the Morrill family and a neighbor friend Henrick. I made two houses and for some reason only one of them cooked right. Spence saved the day by making a house out of graham cracker for Kayla and her friends to decorate so I could still decorate my own. Thank you Spencer.

I've Been Tagged
The rules:
A. The rules of the game are posted at the beginning.
B. Each player lists 6 facts/habits about themselves.
C. At the end of the post, the player then tags 6 people and posts their names, then goes to their blogs and leaves them a comment, letting them know that they have been tagged and asking them to read your blog.
1. Fact-Most peoples favorite day is their birthday or a holiday. Mine is May 3rd. I made it up when I was in pretty young. I thought of it as my day since you can change the M and A around and spell AMY and their are three letters in my name. I believe this took place around the time I learned to spell my name. Over time it kinda stuck. And now it seems every May 3rd is a special day to me even though it was something I made up when I was so young.
2. Fact- I love, love, love, to wear comfortable hooded sweatshirts, even when it is not cold. I remember wearing one in Lake Powell after boating and my boss I was with thought I was crazy. I just love the feel of wearing comfy things.
3. Habit- Those that know me well know that there is no better treat to me than a nice ice cold diet Coke. A habit I picked up working in a dental office, of all places. Whenever I would get stressed out I would drink one to relax. And now I associate drinking one with relaxing. Sad habit, but I refuse to give it up.
4. Fact- Heather Karren listed one of her facts that she secretly always wishes to be pregnant...I have to list that though I am grateful that I can have babies and like the idea of cute pregnancy bellies, I would be happy to let someone else carry the baby and skip the nine months of feeling fat and temper mental.
5. Habit- This is a habit I know drives Spencer crazy. Whenever we go grocery shopping together and it is time to check out, I try to read as many magazines as possible while Spencer takes care buying all the groceries. I figure it saves us money because then I don't end up needed to buy any of the magazines.
6. Fact- I have a great fear of whales. I am not sure how this became such a fear. I remember watching Pinocchio when I was young and thought it was so awful that he got swallowed by a whale. And then in the movie Cast Away when Tom Hanks is on that tiny raft and the huge whale comes up next to him, that was terrifying to me. I think the idea of such huge creatures in the ocean is creepy.
I have to say I am proud to accomplish following through with this game of being tagged. I am usually not very good at doing online things. So now it is my turn to tag six people...Laurie M, Missy W, Lezlee S, Lindsey S, Jamie T, Aubrey S. Good Luck!

We got a smile!
While Grandma McDermott was here for Thanksgiving we decided to try and get a family picture for Christmas cards. After taking many many family pictures without Avery smiling we got one when no one was ready.
