This post has taken me a long time to get up, but here it finally is! </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
This passed year was a fun one for us! Here is our look back on 2012.<br />
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
We knew that living where we do would bring snow, so instead of hate it , we sometimes did this! Paisley LOVED her snow friend! </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
Of course, at Nana and Papa's there is no snow, so the same time of the year, we were able to go to the park and play! </div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
Paisley and Ted have become pretty good friends this year. He realized that Paisley was big enough to help him get things and Paisley remembers where his treats are! Plus she talks so well that he could really tell when she said "Ted, you want a treat?!" </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Paisley also kicked the crib out and decided she is big enough for a "Big Girl Bed!"<br />
<br /></div>

It finally became warm outside! 2012 summer was fun for Paisley and Tate. Sue and I had a change in our work schedule and needed some help on a few days so Kell, being the great cousin that she is, came to the rescue! She was a GREAT babysitter!</div>

Paisley had a wonderful 2nd birthday! We had a little birthday party for her where she got a little baby doll to snuggle. She had the instincts of a big sister already, so we decided to announce the coming of baby #2. </div>

In July we found out that baby #2 was going to be a sister! Katelyn's due date was set for December 24th, 2012. In my mind I was hoping she would come between the 12th and the 17th.</div>

Paisley and I went swimming one day when Kody was at school- he started his masters this summer. She loves the slide more then a 2 year old should!<br />

In the middle of Kody's masters program this summer, he built us a new bed and refinished our existing dresser and night stand to all match. It turned out so pretty. (The main reason I haven't put finished pictures on here is because in our apartment, you can't see how pretty they really are! When we move I will show them!)</div>

I have the most talented husband in the world. He is amazing! He has built a bunch of bows. This one is one of my favorites, but this year he also built the arrows. </div>

They are (I hate to use this word) pretty! When he decides to make something new he can make it look like he's been doing it for years- exhibit A!</div>

We feel so blessed for the last year! We are now parents to two very different little girls. It is amazing to see the things that they learn every day and watch them love each other. We are grateful for the new year as well. This year is going to hold a lot of changes. We will most likely be leaving Cache Valley for a job somewhere. That means I will be leaving my job that I have had for seven years (minus when we lived in St George). That also means that we'll be living in a new house- no more sharing house with loud people! We are excited and a little nervous. I will try my best to keep you updated on our new year! </div>

The girls are getting along pretty well. Paisley still has a hard time understanding why she can't jump around her sister, but we have luckily avoided any collisions! Katelyn is so sweet. She sleeps really well and eats even better. We have an appointment for her tomorrow and we are hoping she has gained some weight! Wish us luck!<br />

She is here! Katelyn Jill McDonald was born 7:04pm on Wednesday December 12, 2012. She was 12 days early and was the 12th baby born in the hospital that day! Having the coolest birthday ever 12/12/12 and it was all by chance! </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Katelyn was 5lb 14oz and a small 19inches long. She is so tiny, her diapers have to be folded to fit and she is already such an amazing baby!</div>

Labor was faster then I thought it would be. . . my doctor almost didn't make it, and my amazing nurse Kristi almost had to deliver the baby herself! Our labor from water breaking to baby here was a short 1hr 29min</div>

Kate ready to go home! Because she was doing so well we only had to stay long enough for them to get a billirubin test done- so after 24hours of being here, they let her go home!</div>

I have the best husband in the world, hands down! Tradition lives on, even at 9mths pregnant. We decided we didn't want to have the baby in the mountains, so Kody took Paisley and found an amazing Christmas tree for us this year. They had a good time together eating chips and juice boxes in "the Adventure". That is what Paisley calls the truck. I love this picture so much!<br />

Paisley was exploring and kept on telling Kody that she needed his help. The girl is a girl and needs her Daddy!<br />
Kody was amazing to document the day for me. There are about 10 videos he took too, so I didn't miss out!<br />

It has officially snowed in Cache Valley! We are excited for winter to come. Winter this year is going to be different then any other winter we have had. First, our baby is going to come! Second, we will celebrate Christmas in our home. Just this week I realized what this really means for me, I get to do all the fun prep work for Christmas morn! We get to start our own traditions and we get to carry on our favorites from our families. I ususally dont like when the weather changes for the worse, but this year is different. Oh, I am so excited for it to get cold!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
We spent some time outside cleaning the yard before it gets too cold and Paisley shared all of her emotions with me. I love this little girl so much!</div>

Our families favorite time of year is FALL! We have our anniversary in the fall and this year we celebrated 5 years! I'm glad we were married in the fall, there are a lot of things that Kody and I love that only come around in the fall, and how fun to celebrate our day, then with things we love that we can't have year round! </div>

This picture of the trees is for Lola. I told her about them a few years ago, how they change colors like this- one end to the next, and every time I drive past I think of how I need to take a picture. On our way this weekend I finally got a shot of them. . . I'll send an actual copy too, but here is a glance of them!</div>

For our anniversary I told Kody I wanted some family pictures. So on our day, my sister took these for us. We stayed a little longer after and got a few more shots with Kody or I behind the camera too. We had fun, and the canyon was so amazing. It was perfect weather and the trees were beautiful! </div>

I love my little family so much and am so excited to have our little one come. Pais is getting ready too, but I don't think she really understands what is going to happen. She will get it and even more, she is going to love her sister- every girl needs a sister!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Some fun things Paisley is doing now are:</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Paisley counts really well to 12 then says "14, 17, 13" and then any other number</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
She knows her colors pretty well, sometimes mixes them up, but just to be silly</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Asks everyone what their name is </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Plays pretend with her toys- it is really funny listening to the conversations she has with them </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
She loves to sing "Bate, Bate, chocolate, mix the chocolate" when we mix anything, or nothing at all, just has a bowl and a mixer</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
She says:</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
"Oh my Boy!"</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
"WHAT?" very sharp!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
"I miss him so much" usually about her friend Colter </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
"I know?" when she means I don't know</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
"Sweet dreams" to her toys when they go to sleep</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Paisley is not my baby anymore- she is a big kid that has a real personality and has her own ideas about everything. I can't control everything she learns or hears anymore at all. She comes home all the time with something new to tell us that we didn't realize she could even understand. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
She is going to be a really good big sister, she just may not let her little sister talk for herself! </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I guess we'll see!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
First things first.... Uncle Kaden came home! He has been home for a few weeks now, but we haven't blogged in a while, so this is a catch-up post! Elder McDonald served in the Cape Town South Africa mission. We are so excited he is home and Paisley is loving talking to him on the phone any chance she gets! We went to St George two weekends in a row, spoiled I know, but are now home for a while again, so we need to talk our family into visiting us way up north soon!</div>
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
Paisley knew Kaden's cut-out better then she remembered him (she was 3 months when he left). She wasn't scared to give him the hugs he needed as soon as she saw him, but then when we asked where the real Kaden was, she pointed to the cut-out.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
So as I said we went down twice in a row, the second time was for this! The boys saved going on their annual hike until Kaden came home. So his first official weekend home he was already booked to do things with his brothers! </div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
While the boys were coming down, the girls were at the cabin. Paisley looks so big in this picture, I can't believe it! We just spent the day there, not over night, but we're happy we could still have our end of the tradition continue too! </div>
<br />

<div style="text-align: center;">
After Daddy had showered and had lunch! </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Paisley is into saying "cheese" when she sees the camera accompanied by a very cheesy smile, so I told her to smile soft. . . this is what we got!</div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
baby Claire & Mollie, Adam & Julian, then Kaden, Kody and cheesy Paisley, Me and baby2, Whitney & Levi, and Jordan & baby Cache</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
It was so fun to spend time with family and friends, it makes us miss them all so much! We love the visits we get and will take them anytime we can.</div>
<br />
<br />
One of my great friends from forever ago asked me to take these for her. Her little girl is the cutest thing ever, Pais loves Harper! They are just on a year apart so it is fun to see them together. We went for a nice drive to Tremonton and took these family pics for the Blanch's. Here is their sneak peak! <br />

Baby update:<br />
We are 31 weeks and she is doing really great still! Actual due date is still Christmas Eve. We are having happy thoughts about an early baby, just like her sister. The date Dec 17th is the date we are keeping in mind!<br />
Baby2 moves a lot, but not kicking and punching moves more of rolling and hiccups. I get a lot of braxton hicks with this pregnancy, mainly after work, but they are really strong. Not much to worry about though, my doctor said as long as I have less then 6 an hour I am okay.<br />
Hopefully this is a sign of the early delivery we are planning on! Anytime she comes we will take her, but a little early would be nice! </div>

We had our 20 week appointment on Monday and got to be there all together, Mom Dad and Paisley to see our baby. Paisley was so excited, cause we were talking about it all morning! We went in for the ultrasound and got these pictures. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
The doctor apologized cause he couldn't get any really good shots of the baby. Our baby was shy! We were finally able to see that we are going to be parents to two little girls! </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Yep, it's a GIRL!</span> We are so excited to see her and have her here with us when that time comes!</div>

Our proof that she is a girl... we couldn't have told you that from this picture, but the doctors could!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Paisley is so funny when we ask her about the baby! When we ask where the baby is, she usually says in her tummy. She also likes to say everyones real name, like Daddy is Kody. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
When we say the baby's name she says "I know?"- she is meaning, I don't know. We'll all figure that answer out! She also loves to say, "I'm getting a baby SISTER!" and shouts the last word. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
When we ask who is bringing her baby, she says "Santa". </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
We are so happy to be getting another girl and can't wait to see what she is like! Keep growing strong and healthy Baby Girl, we'll see you sooner then we know!</div>

I only have pictures of the cake. . . I should have more, I know, but someone else does and I haven't gotten them yet. <br />
<br />
Here is the cake!<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-P3pVgnj_4OU/UAzmpIDCI5I/AAAAAAAAB6g/ZG-GtcTbM-s/s1600/IMG_8970.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="426" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-P3pVgnj_4OU/UAzmpIDCI5I/AAAAAAAAB6g/ZG-GtcTbM-s/s640/IMG_8970.JPG" width="640" /></a></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I made 8 layers of different colors. Each layer was about a 9x14. . . so the cake was really big when it was done! </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-pGYolbIXnAs/UAzmu9NRLtI/AAAAAAAAB6o/ydUDMnO_-ok/s1600/IMG_8971.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="426" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-pGYolbIXnAs/UAzmu9NRLtI/AAAAAAAAB6o/ydUDMnO_-ok/s640/IMG_8971.JPG" width="640" /></a></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
The thing was a pain to frost. I worked the day I made the cake so I baked it in the morning and let it cool. My niece was tending for me when I came home for lunch and helped me put it together. I had her try to frost the first outside layer and that was my problem. . . I forgot how impatient I was at 13 years old and my niece is the same. . . as she frosted the cake flaked off and mixed with the frosting. When I came to help we had to try and frost it about 5 times and with no success, we ended up adding sprinkles and calling it good. My wonderful husband said something that made me feel better about it after, he said<br />
"No one envisioned the the cake as the perfected one that you did, this one still looks cool, and the inside is still the same." He made me feel better! </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Overall it was cool and looked great on the inside, so it was a fun cake to make!<br />
Happy retirement Mom!</div>The McDonald'shttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02012903367717386034noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-158141514919665809.post-44853082873408742482012-07-03T19:18:00.001-07:002012-07-03T19:18:55.365-07:00It's getting Bigger. . .<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

We find out in a few weeks what we are having, so if you wanna place your bets, let us know what you think we'll have!<br />

Paisley is a very BIG fan of her cousins, especially the big girl ones. They are always so fun and good to play with her! A few weeks ago we went to the Zoo and got to take lots of our cousins with us! Here are some of our favorite shots of the day! My mom had these mustaches and thought it would be fun to let the kids play with... it was, especially the little ones! We love our family!The McDonald'shttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02012903367717386034noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-158141514919665809.post-54331128564333998862012-05-23T12:44:00.001-07:002012-05-23T18:15:01.654-07:00Paisley is 2<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

We had S'mores instead of cake with our campfire dinner. Pais loves to be outside and even more loves campfires so we thought this would be fun, especially cause she just had big cousins over, so it wasn't a dangerous thing! We did get a little cake for her cause all day she was saying "Good girl, You get a birthday cake!"</div>

St George is easily one of our favorite places! The family and the fun we get every visit is worth the drive! This visit was packed with activities! First we went to visit Grandma Candland and Grandma Rita for her 90th birthday! We got our 5 generation photo with Grandma Candland too!</div>

After visiting our Gma's Lola was very interested in going on this very VERY big Zip Line! She wanted us to go... and ride herself! Of course I don't have the photo of her ride, but I will find one and add it! Paisley also decided she wanted to go! She did pretty well on it too- held Daddy's hand and was super brave! </div>

My husband is wonderful! He made this for me after seeing I had a need to put my cutting boards & cookie cooling racks somewhere beside where they were! He put it on the inside of my sink cabinet, it was wasted space there, but it now holds this! Thanks Kody.

Oh we love spring! We went to Baby Animals this weekend and Paisley was in heaven! It was a little windy, but still a pretty day. Pais saw so many animals and so many kids she wasn't really sure what to do! Here are a few of our favorite pictures of that day. </div>

Last night we had our first of many backyard fires! We had our dinner outside and roasted peeps. . . well tried to! Kody and I did, Paisley made friends with hers and carried it around til it got sticky, then put it in this cup! I had to sneak it away when she got in the bath!</div>

We have two holes in the fence that look into the neighbors yard. They aren't back there ever, but they have dogs that are. Ted has made friends with them and Pais tries. They are so cute peeping for their friends!</div>

These two are so cute! All weekend I kept thinking how grateful I am that they LOVE each other, because they do! Oh Paisley talks about Gage so much when they are apart and when they are together she is the little shadow that talks his ear off! I think she just really wants him to know how much she loves him. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Until the next visit Gage, we love you!</div>

Sue and I get to
trade who watches and who works. It is really nice for everyone. We get
work done and get to play with the kids, it is warming both families up
for the future of one day having 2 kids. Pais and Tate are really good
together too, she is very protective of him and he smiles at her more
and more! </div>

Pais has been getting to spend more time with her big cousins too. We love to have Kell over as often as she wants! And lucky for us, she likes our house! Pais copies her all the time, she is her little shadow.</div>

We took lunch to Sue Sue the other day and when we pulled into the drive Pais asked "Climb Climb?" She wanted up in the front seat. The car was stopped and we weren't going anywhere, so I let her eat her lunch in the front with me instead of going in the house. She was this happy the whole time! </div>

One of my favorite things Paisley does now is get herself dressed! She knew it was cold outside today from letting Ted out, so she found a hat (that is to small) and her gloves on to go out in. Pretty good! She wore it into every store and didn't take it off til we got home. </div>

Paisley is a MONKEY! She climbs up, in, on, around EVERYTHING! Luckily when we lay her in bed she says "Don't Climb Daddy (or Mommy)". Kody had a hard day with her falling out of bed cause she didn't want to nap, so he watched her on the monitor and as she put her foot up on the rail, he raced in and just said</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
"Don't climb" and closed the door.</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
It made her stop and we</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
haven't had the issue again.</div>

She loves all of
her cousins so much and mimics them when they aren't together! My favorite mimic she does is from Gage, she covers her mouth when something is so funny to her and says "That's funny Mom!" <a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-ovcBE8N92h0/T0sLvL8rUpI/AAAAAAAABrI/AupoEnMTTME/s1600/2012-01-21_15-18-05_985.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="360" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-ovcBE8N92h0/T0sLvL8rUpI/AAAAAAAABrI/AupoEnMTTME/s640/2012-01-21_15-18-05_985.jpg" width="640" /></a></div>

We needed new church shoes and Paisley thought she could fit in the baby shoes, that is when she realized, and told me "I'm a big girl" Yep, sad enough she is. And she says she's not my baby when I ask. She will then give me a hug and say "It's ok Mommy" apparently I make a sad face about then.</div>

For FHE the other day, we went out for
ice cream! It was so fun. . . first we should have realized how much ice
cream there really was in that cone. She wanted to finish the whole
thing so bad, so we stayed for a very long time! It was very fun and worth it
to see how happy it made her! </div>

Paisley is now 21 months old. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Her favorite activities are to</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
climb, run, swing, dance, and play with any kids she can. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
She loves to get herself a snack, now that she can open doors. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
She loved her boots, but they are getting small, so she likes to wear her "new shoes" that we have had for a while, and then ask to go to church.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Her favorite things to say are: </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
"What-cha doin' Dad?" </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
"No, stop Mom"- I don't like this one.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
"It's ok" With a pat or a hug</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
"Snack please"</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
"Perry"- Phineas and Ferb</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
"Milk or Drink?"</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
She is meaning "milk or juice", but "milk or drink" is cuter!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Sometimes it even comes out "Milk or Milk" if that is what she wants to drink</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
"Where's Ted? Under the couch."</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
"La La Loo"- Dinosaur Train </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
"Don't climb"</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
"Wake up Dad" Shortly followed by, "Twinkle Stars?" or "No more momnmonmonmo da bed?</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Translation: </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
She wants to watch, on Kody's phone, Twinkle Twinkle Little Star </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
or</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
5 Little monkey's jumping on the bed.</div>

My Dad turned 66 this week and he is a big fan of historical roads, cars and anything that includes them. I thought it was perfect to do a "Route 66" Birthday for him... considering this would be the year to do it! It was fun, I made this checker cake and we got him a classic car... that red truck! We also had road themed ice cream, Rocky Road, Toffee Terrace, and Cookie Ln. We had to make stickers for the last two, but it was really fun and turned out the way we planned!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Happy Birthday Dad! We love you so much!</div>

The kids played like crazy! It is always exciting to play with cousins! </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
One thing I have to note, before I forget, was how Pais is really getting Mommy jealous. I was holding Hannah, who is 5 and Paisley started to tell her "My mommy, no Hannah" very sad and was holding out her hand to us. She was being held by her Daddy, but didn't want me holding anyone. Hannah then tried to reason with her by saying "It's ok, she is still your Mommy, see mine is over there" It was sweet of Hannah and it kinda worked to calm her down!</div>

Here is Homemade Granola I finally decided to try and make. I really like it. We eat it alone, with milk or on yogurt! It is yummy!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-3MUKGKfVYag/TxXVZLPrpjI/AAAAAAAABno/axvWgvl8bK0/s1600/IMG_7847.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="426" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-3MUKGKfVYag/TxXVZLPrpjI/AAAAAAAABno/axvWgvl8bK0/s640/IMG_7847.JPG" width="640" /></a></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Preheat the oven to 250 degrees. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Get a large cookie sheet out and fit the bottom with a sheet of wax paper</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
You'll need: </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
3 1/2 cup Old Fashion Oats</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
1 cup of sliced Almonds <br />
If you like nuts also add a cup of any other nut you like</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
1/2 - 1 cup of Sunflower Seeds- unsalted <br />
(depending on how many nuts you put in)</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
1/2 - 1 cup of Pumpkin Seed- unsalted</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
* I could only find salted, so I rinsed and dried my seeds before adding them in*</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Mix all of the above in a bowl and add:</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
2tsp Ground Cinnamon </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
1tsp Ground Ginger</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
1/2tsp Ground Nutmeg</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
On low heat, melt in a small sauce pan:</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
8T Unsalted Butter</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
With a rubber spatula mix in:<br />
1/2 cup Honey</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Take off Heat and add to Honey & Butter: </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
2tsp Vanilla </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Mix the Honey mixture with your Oats mixture and place on wax paper.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Bake for 55 Minutes and then let cool completely. </div>
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
When it cools it will harden.<br />
After it cools you can break up in clusters or smaller pieces, however you will most enjoy it! </div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
If you are a fan of them, add a few Raisins or Craisins to the top after baking to mix in.</div>

I need to record this date, </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Jan 15 2012 Paisley Jo made it all the way threw church. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
She went to nursery all alone and didn't cry for Mom or Dad. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Sacrament meeting was good, she got tired and wanted to sleep with her blanket on the floor, but fought that and instead went and got Edger. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
She was as close to a delightful child at church as we have ever seen her. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
We did end up leaving for the last 5 or so minutes, </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
but that was mainly because she was falling asleep and still walking! </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I really just want to say GOOD JOB PAIS! </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
You were so good and you loved your class and the kids and your new teachers! </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I am so proud of you!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

This year has been so fun with our growing girl. After doing this post, I realize without this little monkey, our lives would have been much more on the boring side this past year!
