A fairy tea party

I finally remembered this year to get tickets to the provo fairy tea party. I have been wanting to take the girls
there ever since Bella was 3 years old but would always forget when the time came.
We invited Gabby and Jan to come. I made flower garlands to decorate their pretty little heads. They Loved it
and I loved watching them!

The Yellow Piano

When I signed Bella up for piano which she so wanted to. I wasn't smart enough to think that we would
need a piano for her to practice on.
I found this gem on Craigs list for $150 and we knew right away that we had to give it a bold color.
We ran to home depot and picked out some swatches that we liked, peacock blue, mint green, Dark grey,
and bright yellow. I couldn't decide so Ben right away made things exciting. He laid the swatches on the
floor in a circle and grabbed a paint stick and said I'm going to stand this stick up in the middle and let
go of it and whatever color it lands on, thats what we are going for, so now we have a Yellow piano and
we couldn't be happier with it. It sure makes it bright and happy in that room it sits in, and Bella plays
her heart away.

Valentines

My most memorable valentines growing up was when my mom put together a Valentine breakfast with
all the fixings and an envelope by our plate with a little note and necklace inside. I wanted to create a
breakfast this year that might create a memory that will stick so here are a few pictures just incase they
forget, or that I do.


The table was set with a home made valentine and a book for each of them.



My two beautypies!

Miles didn't know what to think.

I had this shirt made last year for valentines and knew just what I was going to wear.

It was so sweet to see Olea exchange valentines with her favorite neighbor, Marlee.



I decided to get the camera out and take a few shots of my handsome boy. He refused to eat his heart pancakes.
He just wanted the usual, a spoon full of peanut butter. He definitely takes after is momma on this!
I love him to pieces!




This one of my most handsome Valentine and I was from our date after we had eaten a most amazing meal
at Flemmings and went into Urban Outfitters for a little shopping. We laughed all the way home... I mean,
come on, those practically look like they could be Ben's eyes.

February

Here are a few february instagrams I'd like to remember.

January instagrams

It's time I get caught up. January was full of not-so-big events but lots of happy moments and here are
some (alot) of instagram photos. if anyone wants to follow me, I'm under Kristina Mcpherson or shotcha

Coco and Lucy

I finally got a chance to meet up with Leah the other day to make laundry soap and have these two little
ladies play together. Sad we don't live next door to each other anymore but it makes our visits a little sweeter.
Leah took these darling photos that I absolutely adore. Coco perhaps got a little too excited.

Christmas

Ever since I saw the Movie, The Holiday, I have been wanting to make a version of that magical girly tent/fort.
I finally got to it and surprised the girls on Christmas Eve with their new jammies to open inside. I loved their
reaction! It was better than Christmas morning. Olea said." This is amazing!" in her tiny voice. We read
Christmas stories and talked about baby Jesus. They slept in it all night.


Matching pink jammy gowns for their baby dolls.


While sugar plums danced in their heads.

Miles had an obsession with the tree and loved sneaking behind it and unplugging the lights.

Here he is pouting because I wouldn't let him thrash the tree and get flock all over the house.

This is a random shot of miles checking out that bear inside Cabella's. He kept saying, "WOW!"

I found this letter that Bella wrote to Santa. I thought it was the cutest!

Two happy girls!

Miles wasn't sure about his new bike. He was in a daze for an hour or so.

Day after Christmas we were at Urban outfitters and these three surprised me while I was heading inside by
posing as mannequins.

Having a little fun with all the randomness this store has to offer.

Ben was getting his camera all ready to go to San Francisco to shoot a short film.

and here are some rats he purchased for the shoot.

We took down all the Christmas decor and are now ready for a new year!
