Some December Photos

Alan and I were on the planning committee for our ward Christmas party.  Alan helped with set up the night before, and I helped organize all the kids games and activities for the Christmas carnival.  Unfortunately Alan and I had a conflict the same morning as the party and could not attend.  My mom was really nice to take Jared and Maggie to the party so that they could enjoy the games while we were gone.  This was Maggie's butterfly face painting.  

I found Evelyn like this in her crib one morning.  She can now climb freely in and out of her crib, so she loads it full of toys and books when she is supposed to be napping.  It is super frustrating for me, but at least she is quiet and stays in her room.  Soon we will move her to a new bedroom with a new big girl bed.  Then...I will think about potty training.  Ugh.

 The kids were excited to play in the snow.  Jared really enjoys pulling Maggie and Evelyn around the yard in our toboggan.  They wanted me to come out and help me build a snowman, but I just wasn't up to it that day.  Ha ha.

It was fun to hear and see TWO kids this year at the Christmas sing at the elementary school.  These videos were lousy because I couldn't really see my kids, so I stopped filming after a few seconds.  

Third grade:

Kindergarten:  (Maggie is in the green shirt and the pink pants (????) I don't argue with what she wants to wear to school.)
