We had so much fun making our Gingerbread House this year!

Zo loved the frosting!

So proud of her house!

They think they are so hilarious!

What a fun night!

Wednesday, December 24, 2008

We knew that this day would someday come because of how big our ward is. Well, on Sunday it happened (insert sad music here...), our ward was split. They announced it at Sacrament, and said there would be a meeting that night at the Stake Center. All day I had butterflies, and was just sick to my stomach. My friend put it the best...it's like you were back in school and were waiting to see if you made the team or got cut. I have never in my life enjoyed church as much as I have these past few years. We have the BEST WARD EVER, and it's so sad that we had to split. I told Ben I'd be ok if I stayed in the same ward with one of my best little friends, Christy. Well, we aren't in the same ward anymore. You know how you just kind of have "your person" at church...well, she is my person! There are many others that I will miss too. We have this girls night that we do once a month, and I know we will see everyone then...but it will be different, and hard for all to adjust! I love all my girlfriends, and know that our friendships will stay strong even though we aren't in the same ward anymore :-(.

Me & "my person"! Love you Christy!

Happy Birthday Grandpa!

On Sunday we celebrated my sweet Grandpa's Birthday! It's always nice to get together and celebrate with the family. Zoey just adores Grandpa Lewis, and was so excited to go and see him. She made him 3 pictures, and couldn't wait to give them to him! My Grandpa turned 76, and is still SO active! He loves fishing, has season tickets to the Utes, and plays tennis weekly! We love him, and wish him the best year ever!

Grandma & Davis

Zo helped him open all his presents!

Christmas Dress

I usually have to search and search for the perfect Christmas dress for Zoey! This year we lucked out and were given it! Bryan & Jaime gave her this darling dress for Christmas! I loved it, and thought she looked just darling in it!

Such a free spirit!

What a busy, crazy month it's been! We've had so much going on, and have done a lot of fun things, and I just haven't taken the time to write about them! So here is the first of many updates! This last week Zoey had her Christmas Dance Performance! I love my little free spirit! She is such a crack up to watch perform! It's cute now...don't know if it will still be cute in a few years! She LOVES to be on stage, and loves to peform. Now getting her to do the actual routine is the hard part! We've been practicing at home, so I know she knows it...but when she gets on stage it's like she forgets it all and just wants to do her own thing! She is one of a kind, and we couldn't be prouder of her! Thanks for all who came to watch her! She loved having you there to watch her!

I think one of her favorite parts of performing is getting to wear make-up! She loves getting all dolled up!
