Marcella's Birthday

Can you believe this girl is 3? I seriously can't believe it. Time has gone by so fast it is amazing. She really is 3 going on 17. I can't believe how old she acts sometimes. Well for her birthday we made doughnuts (if you want the recipe it is here.)

She thought they were so yummy, and we had a lot of fun making them. Jon had to teach today, so after we ate, we went to Jon's class to say hi. A bunch of Jon's students went and bought Marcella some candy to give her since it was her Birthday. I am just sad we didn't get any pictures of the event. We had a lot of fun going in.

After that we had a big family party. If/when we get a house, I am going to make sure there will be enough room for everyone to sit down, plus some. It was a little crowded, but we all had a great time. Marcella received a bunch of fun toys, that she loves to play with. Thanks you everyone for coming and celebrating with us. We had so much fun.

M's 2nd cake had to be Strawberry Shortcake. It turned out pretty good and was super yummy.

Here is Claire enjoying one of Marcella's presents. crazy that she almost doesn't fit in here any more.

October

I know what you are thinking, has Kanien gone crazy? It is almost January. I have been meaning to update our blog for a long time, it is just things have gotten so crazy. So here we go.. Way back in October...

Caroline, Miriam and I went to Womens Conference this year. Can I just say it is so much fun to have sisters. We had a great time and the talks were wonderful.

The next weekend we went up to the cabin. We had so much fun, just being in the cabin relaxing,

Taking walks down to Lucky Dog,

Just hangin' out with Cousins,

Fishing with daddy,

and Celebrating Marcella's 3rd Birthday. She had so much fun.

Marcella got pretty lucky this year and got two parties, one with the people that were able to come to the cabin and one with all those who couldn't be there. so she got 2 cakes. here is her Ladybug cake.

Here is Marcella on the ride home. She likes to put a blanket over her head and then fall asleep. Silly Girl.

Last but not least, little Claire Bear. She did pretty good on her first trip to the cabin, especially considering she still didn't like her car seat at this point. Around Ogden she was sure ready to get out though. Way to go little trooper!
