Kinsey celebrated her 12th birthday in style this year! The event was started off by our traditional hotel stay, where we spent copious amounts of time in the indoor pool. We also splurged this year and got a suite which included a hot tub in our room…much to the girls delight. We toasted in the new year with sparkling grape juice while watching Hannah Montana avoid showing us exactly which of the Jonas Brothers she is dating. Kinsey opened up her presents and then we were fast asleep.

We awoke bright and early to take advantage of the free breakfast. And then the girls dove into the hot tub, only to get bored 30 mins later and insist on one last romp in the pool before check out time.

We finished our day by getting Kinsey’s final birthday present…her ears pierced. She was a trooper, didn’t even cry. GO KINSEY!

She officially graduated from primary this Sunday, and is now a Young Woman! Doesn’t that make you feel old! 😀 She is having the time of her life in this new ward with all her new friends. It seems like just yesturday she was going into primary for the first time. *sniff*

We took a little New Year video greeting while the girls were Hot Tubbing.

A vegitarian update on Tatie…she announced shortly after Christmas that she was a Chicatarian! Which means that occasionally she might enjoy a chicken nugget or two…but anything made out of pig is a definate no no! I’ll keep you posted on any further developments!
