We were finally able to celebrate Lexi's birthday with her Birthday experience gift. She really wanted to go to Utah and stay in a hotel so we could swim and use the hot tub, and then I picked Disney on Ice for her because I knew she would love seeing all the characters and lets be honest its cheaper than Disneyland (even though I'd go there tomorrow if I could). We included my parents and two of my three siblings and spouse because its more fun in numbers! My parents and Justin and I stayed at the Marriot Inn in South Jordan and they had a big hot tub and pool to play in, the pool water was freezing but the hot tub was perfect. Lexi had a blast playing with aunt Emily, uncle Logan and uncle Brady in the pool, while Hailey just enjoyed floating on her back in the warmth of the hot tub. :)
Saturday we spent the morning with my parents and went to Scheels sporting good store where we took Lexi on a ferris wheel ride and bought her her first pair of soccer cleats, shin guards and ball for spring soccer. Then we took Hailey to aunt Kristin's house for a nap while the rest of us headed to Salt Lake for Disney on Ice. It was so much fun! Lexi was so excited the whole time, the minute Mickey and Minnie Mouse entered the Ice she sat up in her seat with the biggest smile on her face. Of course, me being me I started to cry a bit, but seriously its memories like these that I will cherish forever, and I hope that my kids will too. Lexi wore her Queen Else dress and had me do her hair in an "Elsa braid" shekept asking where Ana and Elsa were and when they finally came out on the ice she was ecstatic!! Such a great weekend with our wonderful family!
