New Year’s Eve Bowling

The kids were so excited to go bowling tonight. When we arrived the place was super packed. The told us it would be about 45 minutes to an hour. My Love had found an amazing coupon on-line for 2 hours of bowling, shoes, dinner and drinks for 6 people for only $25. We bought 2 and used one of them tonight. We ended up waiting about 10 minutes before we had a lane-it was awesome!!!

Paris is not always photogenic but she is stunning in this picture with her daddy.

I actually don’t like bowling much but I love to watch my kids bowl and dance around everywhere.

Tonight I actually had a decent game for about 7 frames. My Love did amazing. He was sad he didn’t do this well for the Pro Look Party. His bonus would have been a lot more than $42 possibly $250 like the new girl.

The food was really yummy!

This was our final score.

The kids played until we only had 5 minutes left on our time. They almost bowled a whole second game.

Tonight was our last night to use Dan & Cayce’s gift to our family. The night we were all suppose to go I had terrible cramps from having my IUD replaced so we didn’t get to go with them. We jumped in the car, sang songs and drove to Spanish Fork.

We headed home as it started snowing. We opened The New Year all together in our bed listening to Paris cry because she wanted to start a new tradition before midnight. My Love tried to make her feel better by pausing the TV while we thought of something, but she wouldn’t do it because that was “cheating”.  I don’t think she remembered that the ball had dropped in New York 2 hours earlier.

So, our new tradition will be to make Paris cry right before Midnight-hee hee hee.

Tristan, who is still not 100%, fell asleep in my arms minutes after midnight while My Sweet Love and I watched a movie.

We have no New Year’s Resolutions. With this great disappointment of no family visiting from California and being sick throughout our whole Christmas Break kind of scares me to see what the next year will bring. I’m afraid this is a prelude to our future 2011 being full of disappointments. The first one being that Pro Look is no better than a year ago (despite our many many sacrifices)  so we have one more year of 20% less income and my love continuing to carry the work load and stress of 10 people.

                               Seriously, what a crappy start!!!!

Dress Shopping

Tristan will be baptized on the 8th of January so it’s time to find a dress. Tristan loves dresses and I knew the decision would be hard for her. It took us about 2 hours for her to finally pick the dress She loved!

We started to make a pile of the ones she loved and ended up with about 8 dresses.

Tristan is our accessory girl so she easily got distracted by the hats.

Before we started trying them all on we narrowed it down to 5 dresses. She tried on, and twirled in ever single one-so cute!!!

She loved this one but wasn’t sure about the pink in it. I love this one too. I’m thinking it will be her Easter dress this year-shhh.

She loved this one because of the flowers all over the dress.

This one she loved because of the pattern and “cushioniness” of the top part.

She really loved this one because of the beautiful lace and pearls it had all over the top and bottom, but it was very uncomfortable around the armpits and neck area. The lace kept itching her.

This one was her true love from the minute she saw it on the rack. It was the first dress she originally set aside.

She loved how this one gathered  but it was a little small on her and it didn't twirl very well.

Everyone that saw her commented on how gorgeous she looked, and she really did.

We sat in the dressing room for about 10 minutes after she had tried them all on to figure out which one she loved THE MOST because she loved them all, this is soooo like Tristan!

We talked about each dress and what she loved about them. Then we ended  up with 2 dresses.

Without knowing it she ended up with the dress I knew her daddy would love the most. She picked her first love. The simple dress with pearls around the waist area. It comes with a mini version of her dress for one of her dolls and most importantly it twirls beautifully!!!

The minute we came home she tried it on for Daddy, Paris and Esher. Everyone loved it!!!

Later that day we found her dress all ready for the big day.

She even had the headband hanging with her dress.
