Christmas Eve Later

We were fortunate enough to have one of my sisters, her husband and five children and my mom stay at our place Christmas Eve. They let Santa know of the plans so he could deliver all their stuff here. It was so much fun seeing their family traditions as well. All the kids (minus Foster who was already in bed) got their Christmas Eve gift.....pajama's. Then they frosted cookies for Santa and left carrots for the reindeer. My sisters kids get Christmas books with their p.j.'s so grandma got to read them all a story before bed.

Even baby Cal knew to make the crazy face.

Christmas Eve

All but three of my siblings and their families were here for Christmas Eve. We had it at my sisters. Soups and rolls and lots of yummy desserts. We chatted then read out of Luke while the kids acted out Mary and Joseph, shepherds, wise men, angels and animals. It was a lot of fun.

Molly's Memorization

Molly learned the pledge of allegiance in pre-school, and we have been working on the Articles of Faith in FHE (well, only the first one so far).

Dressing UP

This is our girly girl who LOVES to dress up. LOVES is an understatement. We laugh every time she comes down the stairs because it's always something new.

Molly is, for the most part, very pleasant and fun. She shortens most of her words. Example: "crack" for cracker, "ple" for please "da" for done.....you get it. I try to talk like her, but Scott tells me I shouldn't encourage it. Molly is 3 1/2 and so much fun.

To top it all off, she got more dress up clothes from us and Scott's mom, for Christmas (pictures to come).

Happy Birthday to Scott

Scott turned 33 on December 13th. WOW, I remember when 33 was old......not so much anymore. Right behind ya baby. Oh how grateful I am for the birth of this man. I could not ask for anyone better. Thank you, Mary and David for raising such a fine boy. He puts up with me, what more can I say? He's the best. Happy late post Birthday Scott!
