Sundays and Baking

Happy Sunday from this dapper guy! He's getting so big and loves to lurch and scoot around. He always finds his way to his sister's smallest toys and papers he isn't supposed to eat...

 Charlotte has been very into baking and cooking recently (How could she not be with the parents she has...). She is a great little helper in the kitchen. She made a mini loaf of banana bread with me and helped make that banana pudding below.

Around here lately...

Blogging has been kind of on the back burner lately, but I'm trying to be better. What better time to start again than in the new year, right?! We have been busy with school, the holidays, moving into a new apartment, and applying for my dietetic internship. Things have been busy, but good. 

 Peter just won't stop growing. He LOVES his sister and fell asleep in her bed a few weeks ago. Anything she is doing, he wants to do.

 Charlotte has a new picture face that she uses whenever there is a camera in sight. This picture is from the kids Christmas party before the break.

 Again with that picture face...Charlotte and her friend Dallin, who moved away before Christmas.
 Charlotte turned 3! We drove down to Utah for Brad's sister, Katie's wedding and got there right in time for Charlotte's birthday, so she celebrated with her cousins and family. It was pretty cute. We feel like we have to go all out for that girl's birthday party and make sure it doesn't get overlooked by Christmas:) She had a blast!

 We had a little fairy treasure map that ended at the enchanted fairy forest cake. Those are supposed to be acorns on the right, thanks pinterest:)

 There's the birthday fairy! I can't believe she's 3...

 Peter LOVES the water just as much as he loves his sister and can't stop splashing when he gets anywhere near it. He had a great time in this tiny pool next to the big pool at Brad's grandparents' condo.

 We braved the cold to see the beautiful lights at temple square in downtown Salt Lake. It was beautiful. Charlotte loved it. I think Peter did too...

 Smiley girl!

Christmas and Christmas Eve were kind of a disaster this year because Brad and his sister came down with the flu and it was passed around the family all week. It was pretty horrible. Luckily, Charlotte, Peter and I were spared and could open presents and look in our stockings on Christmas morning. Poor Brad! At least we have a picture to document it!
It was great to see family and Katie's wedding was beautiful and totally worth the trip and the flu epidemic:)
