December happenings....

I thought I'd just put the entire month of December into one post, so here goes:

Here are 3 random pictures of Ryker painting one afternoon. I just thought they were cute pics. I love having just him home during the day. It gives me time to give all my attention to him, without interruptions. Next year he'll start pre-school, but it will only be a few days a week for a couple of hours. He's such a good natured little boy!

On December 4, we went to our Ward Christmas dinner. It was a good night with yummy food, a cool slideshow of pictures from the year, and even a visit from Santa.

Ryker loves to play on Kevin's phone. Even Santa Claus couldn't get his attention. I think we may have a problem already.

One December evening, we decided to make Gingerbread, aka "Graham Cracker" houses, (it's cheaper that way). This year we let each of the kids decorate their own however they wanted. It was a lot of fun for them. We had some neighbor kids over too, and we had enough supplies, so they made some as well. :)

On December 11, Bailee had another dance performance. This time it was at the Valley Fair Mall. She did her same dance to "Rockin' around the Christmas Tree".

And here's a random picture of Snowflake climbing the tree. We have bird feeders out there, and he loves to climb up there and try to catch them.

On December 21, we went and saw the girls sing at the school. The First Graders sang "Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer", and "Santa's using Zebras now". The Second Graders sang "Mele Kalikimaka" and "Feliz Navidad". They did a great job!
