HAPPY 1ST BIRTHDAY CHLOE!!!

Chloe had three celebrations for her 1st birthday ( in true Gardner family fashion)! The first party was with all her local cousins at Chuck e Cheese! We went to Aaron and Kim's house after for Pizza and Presents! She got lots of Great things! (thank you everyone!) For the second "party" we went to the San Diego Wild Animal Park to celebrate- just the four of us . On the way there we found some snow-random I know but so fun!! For the third party on her actual first birthday I made lasagna and Abe made an AWESOME Snow White cake (all by himself) and we had my mom and sister and future brother in law over! I can't believe my baby is one! She loved her birthday cakes, she was very danity but very determined. She kept dipping her little finger in and licking the frosting....then she got impatient and started grabbing handfulls , but can you blame her!

Christmas party game-the kids had to follow their own string to find their present that was tied to the end of it- they had their work cut out for them!

I see you !


No tears from either of them-Noelle even told Santa she wanted him to make her a doll house for Christmas. Noelle was very proud of Chloe for not crying. She said "Good job Clo bo, you did it and you wasn't even scared of Santa! She learned from me!"

Merry Christmas!

Thanksgiving - The Gardner Family Thanksgiving was a blast. The food was delicious, the talent show was hilarious (Tyler and Parker did a hilarious dance to a Ric and Rachel danced in, Ric as a woman and Rachel had pillows stuffed in her clothes to give her an awsome ghetto booty, Dani wrote an amazing song about Thanksgiving talent shows of the past, Scott and Shellie sang, Noelle did her Daisy Daisy song on the piano, Chloe bonked heads and Abe, Tyler and I did a song as well) and of course it was great spending time with the family.

Manti, Utah

We made a trip to Manti a few weeks ago. Abe's mom Connie passed away. We love her and will miss her. It was good to see our family and spend time with them.
