Highlights of December

Dickens Festival 

Bracken got to sit on the FRONT row for Ema's second grade Christmas program

Ema had a SPEAKING PART in the program!

Waking Ema up EARLY on her birthday so she could open her present!

Ema celebrated her birthday at Brick Oven

The kids had some friends over for a Christmas party.  All of these kids in my teeny tiny house.  Quite the adventure.

Isn't she adorable?

Spending some time at IHOP.  My kids are total HAMS!

See.  He's a ham.  And yes,  that's a jug of Dr. Pepper.  Our waitress got a nice tip.

After we left IHOP we went to walmart and saw this on the truck parked in front of us.   Look closely.  It's a bird.

Taking family pictures during sacrament meeting.  (We actually were in this room where we could hear the speakers.   I was nursing in there and I realized we were all dressed matching for Christmas, so we propped the camera on the chalkboard and took some pictures!)

Gracie met her aunt Leigh and cousin Iggy for the first time.
