Fun Times!

Fiona had her first party!!! We got invited to a Valentines party. I am not usually invited because I have work. But I have adjusted my work schedule to accommodate my sweet Fiona :) She had a fun time. It was just a group of kids not in school yet and we met at the park and exchanged valentines. I loved that Fiona went and socialized.

We picked up Jon on Sunday when he drove home from Salt Lake. While we waited, me and Fiona hung out at the temple. She was there once before but we don't count it since we only went there to feed her as a little baby. She did so well listening to the Christus presentation. She loved going up and down the stairs and seeing the fountain in the front. I felt like total crap but had a great peaceful time with her. 

Sunday Talks

Jon and I spoke on Sunday. We spoke on Forgiveness. It was such a special topic for us. Together and prior to marriage we have had experiences with forgiving and our testimonies have grown immensely from these experiences. It truly is a divine gift and principle. Fiona lasted almost the whole time on the stand with us. During Jon's talk I had to take her out. She was tired of sitting there and wanted out! lol

We came home and had chips, salsa and olives and pretzel rolls :)

The ponytail is here!

Fi hates me putting anything in her hair, she rips it right out. Drives me crazy. So I have been letting her play with hair stuff. I have kept trying to put things in her hair and we make a game of it. Well this week she let me put a ponytail on the top of her head and she didn't rip it out! She loves looking in the mirror shaking her head to see the hair move back and forth. I think she like the hair out of her face and of course I like it too since I didn't want to cut her hair. 

 

Merry Christmas! 2014

We consider this Christmas as Fiona's 1st Christmas. It was just the 3 of us this year and it was very nice. I am so glad Jon didn't have to work and we could spend the whole day as a family.

Our plan was when Fi woke up Jon would go get her, take her to our room, change her diaper and in the meantime I would be in the living room turning on the tree lights and getting my video camera ready. Well, she woke up, Jon had her in the room and I was by the tree waiting for her to come out to see her presents. However, all I heard was her crying. Complete melt down. I told Jon that she can't come our unless she is in a good mood. Well Abby came out and opened the door a little bit. Jon just put Fi on the floor and she was getting ready to throw herself on the floor to complete her tantrum. She then looked up and saw the tree lights and stopped crying instantly, then she walked out of the room and belined it for the rocking horse. Tears rolling down her face, she was babbling and pointing. She was petting the horse and looked at us and a grin spread across her face. It was the cutest thing ever and we got it all on video to show her when she gets older.

We were all exhausted. She was going from toy to toy all day long.

I made all new recipes for our dinner and oh my goodness, they all turned out great. Our dinner was DELICIOUS :)

We are looking forward to the New Year and are proud that we made it through 2014.
