Sarah's birthday

My little girl is a big 4 years old. For Sarah's birthday we thought it would be fun to go see the new Disney move "The Princess and the Frog". Sarah has been talking about it for months and had asked for a Tiana doll for Christmas. Sam's parents and his brother Ned and his wife Cathy and their son Jackson joined us for the movie. We stopped at Grandma and Grandpa's house before the movie so they could give Sarah her present which was a Princess Tiana dress. She wore that and her birthday hat to the movie. Sarah loved all of the attention that she got from people at the theater. After the move was over she and Jackson walked out together holding hands. It was so cute. Later that night we invited both sets of grandparents over for cake and ice cream. Sarah had requested a Cinderella cake but she only wanted Cinderella's head. It's a good thing her dad is so talented. He made the cake and got some help from Grandma Hacking. I think she had a fun birthday.

I know I'm a little behind on this post. I've been waiting for Sam to download a picture of Sarah at the theater standing in front of the Princess and the Frog sign in her Princess Tiana dress but we haven't taken the time to figure out how to get it off his phone since I didn't take my camera to the theater. I've decided to post this anyway and then update the picture later.

Rail Trail

We decided that we needed to go for a walk today as a family and I suggested that we check out the new Rail Trail out in West Kaysville. We didn't know what to expect when we got there or if the trail would even be usable. I thought that it might be covered with snow but we decided to give it a try. Sarah wanted to take her new scooter that she got at Christmas and it would give me a chance to try and get some pictures. The trail was clear and the girls had such a good time that they didn't want to go home. Lily kicked and screamed when we put her in the car and kept it up the whole way home. We walked part of the trail and then the girls played in the snow. Sam took my camera and got a bunch of cute pictures of all of us. I think we will be going back there a lot, especially when the weather warms up. Then we got to come home and my brother Kevin and his family came over and brought us pizza for dinner. We had a great visit and the kids played and had a great time. Thank you Kevin and Jeni and boys. We love you

I love the above picture of Lily. It shows so much of the mischieviousness in her nature.

Sam took all of these pictures except for the one of Sarah on her scooter. He did a fantastic job.
