One Crazy Month

December was one busy month for me. I learned that I can't run faster than I'm able, no matter how hard I try. Nevertheless we had some good times too. Here is what happened to us in December:

Mary Emma discovered markers.

It snowed . . . a lot!

Snow surfing on the driveway.

Mary loves talking to daddy.

Sarah (Jacob's sister) came to spend Christmas with us. I am so glad she came, I had no idea how much I would need that break. Despite the snow, ice, and the cold we still made our traditional Christmas Eve hike. (It's really the only way we can get the kids to go to sleep).
Camilla is showing off her hill climbing skills.

Our nativity.

Camilla as Glinda the good witch. Thanks to daddy for the present.

Hyrum using his new "dig truck" from santa to dig out into the backyard. (We got more snow Christmas Eve.)

No way we can get the wagon from santa into the backyard, and so eveyone gets a ride in the house.

Sledding with Sarah the day after Christmas.

Mary Emma hates her new chair from Santa.

Mary Emma refuses to be pleasant enough to get her picture taken in her Christmas dress.

Mary Emma still not cooperating, but three beautiful children regardless.

I just can't believe that you are doing that all on your own--I am sure that you are doing SUPER and that you are probably sometimes too hard on your self like all us moms are--those kids are cuties!

Oh man! How crazy! I love the picture of Mary in her new carseat...priceless. Adelyn has figured out that if she arches her back and straightens her legs it makes it near impossible for me to get her in her carseat. So she pretty much makes that exact face when I succeed to buckle her in. The Christmas dresses are so pretty! What a cute looking bunch :) And I guess you guys didn't need to listen/watch "I'm dreaming of a White Christmas" this year! You got snow whether you liked it or not!

YOU'RE ALIVE!!! I figured you were since I wasn't getting any strange vibes to the contrary. I've been thinking about you everyday, and hoping that you were doing okay. Love you!

My favorite is the snow surfing in the driveway. So cool!:)
