Bob had to go to Berlin this week and I'm flying solo...But whenever he goes he gets all these great pictures and not one of him, so this time I said to him that he had to be in the pictures. So we got a few of him! Yeah! He's so brave its snowing and 20 degrees outside. I wish he could travel in the spring so I could go with him and enjoy Europe.
It's offical I am running on a Ragnar Relay team in Utah in June! Am I crazy? Well here are the top happy thoughts and bad thoughts * running with Becky * get to run in Utah * get a new pair of running shoes * & A cute visor! * Learn to be more disaplined * have a goal= not die in the high alitutde * I really don't like to run * But I love how I feel when I'm done!

We began our first ever girls night out with a little Christmas spirit! I picked up the girls from ballet and swapped the boys with Dad. we headed to Oakland to the Temple and watched a wonderful preformace "Behold the Light" It made me think "I" could dance again.... well in the next life. It was cold and the lights were beautiful. It was a great start to the Christmas season. Then off for some yummy hot cocoa, Carissa and I had steamed milk with gingerbread. So delicious! Then we had Carissa's piano recital it was great she finally made it through her song and had it memorized. We are so proud of her. To top it off we had Addie's violin recital this weekend also... She was accompanied by a cute girl in our ward. They do such a great job. Her teacher is great she always has them do a Primary song. We love that little missionary opportunity
Addie says " No one ever tells me anything" Emma says " me too, but all you have to do is listen to Mom talk on the phone and then you'll know everything!"
