Libby Meeting Santa

Posted by in Family, Holidays on Dec 8th, 2011 | 1 comment

We took Libby to see Santa tonight. She was great, no fuss and no muss. We were in and out within 30 minutes which made Dustin a happy camper, so he treated us to dinner at Bandidos, our favorite little Mexican spot.

Giving Thanks on Turkey Day

I love Thanksgiving, it embodies everything that it is good in this world; family, giving thanks and food. Lately I’ve been very “un-Emily” like and not wanted to fuss with the mess. The last two years we’ve ditched the kitchen for eating out at Salt Lake’s, Little America Hotel, which has been great. I don’t think we’ll always do this, but for now it’s the tradition. We were joined again this year by Dustin’s family, which we loved having with us. After dinner we spent the night at Barberland hanging out and playing games. It was great day.

Happy Halloween

Libby’s initial costume didn’t work so we had to improvise by making her tutu her costume, which ended up being just fine. We went over to my Mom’s to say hi and my cousin’s stopped by with their kids so we snagged a few photos. Then finished the night over at our neighbors house for the annual Halloween “soup off”.

Barber Family “Barbie-Que”

Luckily – the Barber family annual 4th of July party was later than normal and I was able to go. This is by far my favorite holiday and my favorite family party and I would have hated to miss it. But I didn’t because Libby came early and the party was late.

Barber Family Easter Party

Each year my family has a little Easter egg hunt & brunch. This year was especially fun since Sarah, Brent and the girls surprised us in coming up for the party. Also Dustin’s sister Megan was able to come along too. Next year will be extra fun with Libby being able to participate, we can’t wait.
