Baby Boy

Mommy went to the doctor today and got to see our sweet baby boy. He is looking healthy and strong. He had his little hand up by his face and kept opening up his little mouth and making the little ooh shape with his lips. It was fun to see the little guy.

Art Surprise

Sadie came home a very excited girl today. Her teachers gave her a gift that included books, and art supplies. She immediately got to work and spent a long time making pictures. The one in the picture is something that she made for our elf, Steve. 

A Springy December Day

It felt a little bit like spring time outside today. Zoie and Oaklee we very pleased to have some time to spend outdoors. It was a good day. 

Rock-A-Bye Baby

This little girl is very much obsessed with babies right now. She loves her baby dolls. She loves rocking babies so much. Babies are always on her mind. When I am changing her diaper, she will take the diaper cream and rock it in her arms because there is a picture of a baby on the tube. She even likes to rock the kitty cats and sing lullabies to them. Here latest obsession, of course, is the baby Jesus from the Little People Nativity. Baby Jesus always seems to be missing from the stable. Oaklee is so sweet.

Gingerbread Houses!

We had a delicious time creating gingerbread houses for Family Home Evening. 

Ward Christmas Party

The weekend arrived for our ward Christmas party. The kids were very excited to go. The theme was "Christmas through the eyes of a child." The primary children sang a couple of songs and we all watched an amazing video made with Natalia's art and our own primary children's' narrations of the Nativity. It was amazing. The food was delicious and the decorations were jaw dropping amazing. The Schimds used their talents to create a life size gingerbread house village. There was real candy on them. The big castle with a drawbridge was covered in real rice crispy treats. There were games and activities for the kids all to do. It was rather impressive and we enjoyed everything.

Gorgeous Gallahers

Grandma Church really wanted pictures of each of her grandchildren for Christmas this year. Here is our contribution. These are the sweetest and most beautiful children ever to be seen. 

Christmas Programs

The three big kids had their Christmas programs. Sadie's was first with the preschool and kindergarten. She even got to see Santa again! Then, the next night, we went to see Landon and Ethan in their program. Everyone did so great! It is a great way to get into the Christmas spirit.
