We're back!!

We got back from Utah yesterday and let me just say this: it's feels so good to be home! We had a fun week there though. I took the kids to see Santa at the mall and of course Sam told him about all the Barbie stuff she wants! LOL

I took this picture of Sam playing outside, could she be any more beautiful?? My princess is so pretty. :)

That afternoon, Sam, Anaïs and I had fun taking pictures! They were both in a very good mood so of course I had to take advantage of that and pull out the camera. Anaïs kept on trying to eat Sam's face, she was so funny and Sam loved every minute of it!

We also went on the Polar Express with some friends from Vegas who happened to be taking a vacation in Park City for the week-end. It was pretty cool to get to see them! The Polar Express was so cute. They had elves serving hot chocolate and cookies and read the Polar Express story. Also, the kids got a chance to tell jokes to the whole train car. Sam had NEVER told a joke in her entire life and didn't know any but she insisted on grabbing the microphone to tell one. Jeff and I were like "what is she going to say? She doesn't know any jokes!"

Well...Sam just decided to go ahead and make up a joke!!! LOL She actually told 2 jokes, here they are:

1) "Why does the hippo have snow on her head? Because it's snowing!"

2) "Knock Knock, who's there? Apple. Apple who? Apple train!"

Yep I know...they don't make much sense but I thought it was so freaking cute!!

Then Santa came on the train!!!! That was for sure the highlight of the night for Sam. Look at her face...I took this picture when Santa appeared and she was waving Hi to him. I love the look on her face: PURE JOY!

A couple days after that, we went on an amazing sleigh ride, it was SO cool!!! We didn't take Anaïs because it was too cold for her so she stayed with Jeff's mom.

So now you all know about our busy week! This holiday season has been non-stop! This coming Friday Sam has her Christmas Program at school and then my mom gets in at midnight on that same night. She is coming from France to spend 2 weeks here with us. I can't imagine spending Christmas without my mom, we are so close! I am very excited to have her here and I know she can't wait to see the girls. Last time she was here was for Anaïs' birth, 6 months ago.

Also, on a different note, we officially paid our registration fee and hotel for the LPA conference. We got an email from LPA saying that due to high demand we should get an email from the hotel to confirm our reservation within the next couple days...I hope everything will work out ok, I would hate not being able to stay at that hotel.
