Winter in Utah: Birthday girls!

These little March girls each gained a number, and we celebrated with matching spring dresses, that they wore to tatters, over their pajamas, every day, and sesame-street-themed juice boxes....

 And glass blowing...

 And a superfancy Mexican cake that they custom decorated with "O-tanjoubi Omedetou!" Muchas Gracias!

 We had an impromptu birthday party with trampoline jumping...

 And pinata-smashing...

 And pinata wearing

 And best of all... DANDELIONS!!

Oh yeah, and PENgUinS.

MP: "Me said, NO TAKE MY HORSIE!!!"

 Oh and EASTER with lovely friends, where we chucked boiled eggs down the hill with 500 other weirdos

the obligatory eyeball egg

Winter in Utah: It's Gorgeous

I

I had forgotten that Utah is breathtakingly beautiful.

And it is populated with fuzzy little woodland creatures! The highway often smelled of SKUNK!!

Winter in Utah: Family

 Luckily for me, Matt's ideal program is in the state where my pioneer rutts run deep. By the crick. So I got to see a lot of family and it was really wonderful.
