6. Paint

First...

HAPPY NEW YEAR!

I've been bundled up in Salt Lake City with a cold but I have been enjoying my 2012! It's been full of tasty food, trips for Christmas bargain shopping, and a wonderful birthday party for Daphne Kate -- she's six months already!

Today we played our classic game of Gingerbread House Bat, where we take out a little aggression on our gingerbread houses. And then we painted!

6. Paint!

I painted two masterpieces, both for Valentine's day! Both are dedicated to my valentine, Sean. Hehe.


Ali used Utah landscapes and Rothko's work as inspiration. I love her pieces...


Emily's is titled Bubblegum and I think it's very sweet! She spent oodles of time on this fun painting!



And I saved the best for last! Daphne joined forces with Taylor to create the cutest painting!


Happy new year, friends!
