Cassidy Cuts

I gave Cassidy her first pair of kid scissors. They were a pair that belonged to Ellie that had become very dull. I figure that would be a good start for Cassidy. She absolutely loved the idea of having her own pair of scissors. She stood next to her table for an incredibly long time cutting up a piece of paper. She kept picking up the bigger scraps and cutting them into smaller ones. It was totally worth the mess to have her busy for so long. She didn't try to cut anything else besides the paper. She was very proud of her new found cutting skills.

More Lights!

We are really into seeing Christmas lights! Tonight we went up to Temple Square and saw the beautiful lights. We also walked around the new City Creek Center. They had a pretty impressive Christmas display with decorations, live music and a water show with their awesome fountains. What made it even better is that it was 52 degrees while we were there! We didn't even need our hats and gloves.

Daddy's Magical Wonderland

We made a special trip up to visit our old house and to see "Daddy's Magical Wonderland." We used to drive by these lights almost every night during the Christmas season, so we felt like we had to go back to see them at least once. So fun!

Snow Day

It started as rain then turned to wet, wet snow. Of course, we had to go play in it!

The park next to our house was flooded.

 Can't stop my kids from eating the snow.

 We do have a sled, but they thought it was fun sliding on their bums.

Dancing

The MBA Spouse Association (MBASA) here at BYU is AMAZING! They are a great support and also organize so many fun activities for our families. There was some interest in doing dance classes for the little kids, so a couple of ladies who have had some dance experience volunteered to teach them on Saturdays. They get to do it in a real dance room on the BYU campus. Ellie went the first time, and she loved it, of course. I asked Cassidy if she wanted to come try it too and she said she did. So, today, Ellie and Cassidy went to dance class together. It was the cutest thing! Ellie was so good at making sure Cassidy knew what to do and where to go. I was happy to see her be such a great big sister. I was also surprised to see how well Cassidy listened. She was way into it and tried everything that was asked of her. I took quite a few pictures, just because they were so cute.
