December (the first half anyway)

The amazing ginger bread house! This night was so funny. My little sister Julie was here so she can attest to that! This is the first year that we have done this and man was it entertaining. Brian is a perfectionist and it was driving him crazy that the kids would not place things perfectly on the house. It is a good thing he is not around for the majority of our art projects! So of course all the kids wanted to do was eat the candy and so the night mostly consisted of Brian decorating and letting the kids help only after me telling him it is time for the kids to get a chance to help again.








Then we had friends over for FHE while Eric and Kietra got to go out.

They were very good and sang songs so great! I wish I would have gotten pictures of the "shoe races". Each child put both of their feet into one of Brians shoes and had to hop across the living room to the finish line. It was very enjoyable. then we had Monkey bread for treat! Fun night!
Alittle bit later in December we got to have cousins come and stay with us. Anna and Leah stayed the night and we love sleep overs!!


Here is a little bit of evidence to explain why Brian is so thrilled we are having another Boy!





We also went caroling and delivered treats to friends and neighbors while our cousins were visiting.




Two more exciting events in December before I end this post and Add a Christmas post later.

First we got to go to Henry's birthday party at Chuck-e-cheese. My kids love it there. I thought this picture could help regain Callen's manhood after that video above




I have some cute videos with all of the kids at the birthday party but I am having a hard time downloading them right now.

So lastly, was the ward Christmas party. Here is just a quick picture with the kids and Santa. They were not shy at all. Addie told him she wanted a doll house and Callen said he wanted a blue book (don't ask me) and a new blanket. pretty easy. I can handle that!




December was fun and busy! Christmas was an adventure in itself. That is a story for another day!!
