Catching up on December

I love that all of my children love books ... even Elliott.

We caught some snowflakes! They look gorgeous up close!

We had an amazing hailstorm. The sky was so black, and then two seconds later it was lighter. Then we got hit with hail.

Samuel got a new hat.

Elliott really loves his sister.

The kids decided to switch clothes. All the way down to their underwear.

Sophia lost another tooth.

She also had her Christmas Dance Showcase.

We had a Christmas dinner with the bishopric, and Sophia wanted to try on the Bishop's hamburger hat.

I sure love these three!

Christmas

We had a lovely Christmas ... in spite of the fact that all the kids woke up sick.

This was Elliott's first Christmas, and he loved it!

The other kids really loved it too. They are all at the best age to enjoy it.

Hope your Christmas was as merry as ours!

So Far Behind ...

I am so far behind on this blog! But I'm not giving up yet. I'll just have to speed through Halloween all the way up to the present. One post at a time. :)

First, Halloween. We had two pirates and a shark.

And here's some cute "together" pictures.

Sophia lost her first tooth in November:

Elliott got a new hat!

And Samuel is my adorable goofball.

Whew! Now all I have left is December and January!

Things that happened awhile ago

We went to feed the ducks at the park.

(Later when we were home, I caught Samuel feeding our rubber duckies some wooden bread.)

Afterwards, we went to play on the playground.

Sophia started dance classes again. She is doing so well!

And now some random pictures of happy people together!

Watching the tractor.
