We had a very busy day today.
Here's the breakdown of all of the fun.
We went and watched the youth performance of the "Nine Dragons" at Kingsbury Hall.
It was quite cold. We are expecting a big winter storm tonight but it seemed that the big winter chilly wind came first. On the drive downtown we had Isabelle and Natalie in my car.
Because of the lame "Occupy Wall Street" movement there was 1, yes 1, tent set up in Pioneer Park.
As we drove past Isabelle said "Look there's a tent!"
Natalie quickly and excitedly replied
"Wow that is an awesome place to camp!"
Jenny and I laughed pretty hard after that one.
The kids LOVED the show. They all said it was great. I almost fell asleep twice. It wasn't horrible, I was just really tired I guess. It was slightly politically correct, but that seems to be the norm with everything these days. The girls loved all of the costumes and Isabelle has been acting like a dragon for the better part of today. Kingsbury Hall is located on the University of Utah campus so we decided to stop at the campus cafeteria for lunch. That was a little interesting. I didn't have any college boys hit on my which I am pretty sure would have happened 10 years ago. They have a cool soda machine. It's very technologically advanced with a touchscreen and everything. Luckily I had my 5 year old daughter teach me how to run it! My sister said they also have a technologically advance sink in the bathroom that automatically turns the water on, pumps the soap and dries your hands in the same location. Luckily for her there was a young college student who was nice enough to assist my elderly sister and she showed her how to use it.
It was very clear that we 3 old moms and our group of little ducklings were quite out of place on a campus. I think I may go back to college just so I can sit in a college cafeteria and read a book. Those kids think their lives are hard - sheesh I would kill for their cafeteria and with it's cool soda machines and fancy shmancy sinks!
Then it was off on a shopping trip to Kohls with Isabelle. It is so funny taking my daughter shopping. She gets very analytical and says lots of things like "Ooooh mom, aren't these earrings just the best? They would look fabulous on you!" and "Ooooh, this thing is something that I have always wanted. Don't you think I would just be the cutest in this?!?"
After that we ventured to the Primary's Ice Cream Party.
Where there is is ice cream, there I'll be.

The kids ate buckets of ice cream and had a lot of fun!
We LOVE, LOVE, LOVE primary and can't wait until William is officially in it too!
Tonight we had a girl party. I love girl parties. I love them when they are for the big girls and I still love them when they are for the little girls.
We big girls know how to have fun, but the little girls take fun to a whole new level.
Faith (right) was giving all of the girls makeovers.
She did a pretty good job. I may hire her to come do Isabelle's hair before church on Sundays.
Lois fell in love with Yepi and didn't put her down the entire night.
If by chance she did put Yepi down for a second another girl would sweep in and pick up the poor neglected dog.
The girls opened up an ice cream shop.
(I know these pictures aren't great. I am still learning how to take pictures with my phone. Thus far I have had very little success, so just take what you can get please.)
How could you not love a group of girls this adorable?
And they have adorable personalities to match too.
We are so blessed to live in an area where Isabelle can have so many wonderful friends.
Long live girl parties!
It's my turn next time!
It's nice to have days like today, however, I am grateful that most days are a little less eventful.
It is snowing a beautiful heavy snow outside now.
The storm is officially upon us.
I will rest well tonight.
