Daniel discovered the thrill of his first snowball fight. I discovered his deadly aim. This kid has got a great arm.
I made a bunch of pies, including my first banana cream pie. Thanks to my mother -in-law's recipe it turned out sooooo well. Dani wanted to make my grandmother's ambrosia salad.After we had started making it we realized we didn't have any mini marshmallows, so Bryan improvised and spent a long while cutting jumbo marshmallows with (sterilized) kitchen shears. 
I think I actually liked it better that way!
My parents called from New Zealand so we each got to talk to them for a few minutes. It was nice to touch bases, they were missed.
Dani showed off her cute new hair cut.
The kids all sat down for dinner. It was so nice to have all of Daniel's cousins around, he had so much fun with them all.
We spent a while outside and played some games. (okay, so I was inside getting my baby fix by holding my new nephew Nathan....But almost everyone else was outside playing ;)
We also made a trip up to the Kansas City Cabella's. They had some great gloves that I really wanted, but were out of stock! I ended up finding a pair I liked even better in the children's section, thank goodness for little hands!
These two girls are inseperable. They are so lucky to live so close to each other and get to be such good friends! 
Unfortunately I got really sick and a snow storm was due to roll through the next day, so we had to head out. It was far too short and we had such a great time. We'll definitely be back soon. Thanks for having us Dani and David!
5 Years!
We spent a while outside taking pictures. While we had been in the temple the clouds had cleared and it was a sunny day, still cold, but sunny.
In the afternoon we had a wonderful luncheon at our now favorite restaurant, Chef's Table. Both of our families were there and the place was packed. 
It turns out we didn't take any pictures of the luncheon, luckily Bryan's Grandfather remembered! If anyone else out there randomly has pictures of our luncheon (or wedding!) we'd love to have a copy.... :)
After our wonderful lunch, (honestly I don't remember what I had to eat, I remember where my friends and family sat though!) We headed over to the Ballroom where our reception was being held and took yet more pictures. We had our reception in the newly renovated Provo Library. I love that building, it's where my grandfather went to school while he was at BYU, and my mother even had classes there too. Our reception was wonderful, filled with friends and family. The only mar on a perfect day was the lousy dj, he played all of the songs that we had asked him NOT to, lol. Luckily some of my friends from BYU Singers came and sang a beautiful rendition of "The Nearness of You," and saved the musical portion of the evening.
Thanks guys!
I've been entering this contest for a while now and am certain that I'm destined to win it. Now I just have to come up with the $665,000 in taxes and fees I'll have to pay when I do! You can enter once a day until 2/19. Good luck! If any of you win it I'm calling dibs on the guest room!
In a large bowl combine:
For crescent rolls, divide dough into fourths and roll each part out into circle. Spread melted or softened butter all over the top. Cut the circle into wedges with a pizza cutter and roll up each piece, beginning at the wide end of triangle. 
Place the rolls on a baking sheet with about an inch of space on all sides. Cover the rolls with clean dish towel (or something similar) and let them rise for about 3 hours. 
Bake at 425 for 8 to 12 minutes. Altitude and humidity seem to affect these a lot, so check them often to see how long it takes where you live!
