Here's Kaylee at the Springs Preserve. Dallin was a little bit scared of these fake people.

When we told Dallin to give Lincoln a hug he put out his arms all cute like this.

Dallin put these boots on and started sweeping all by himself.

It was PJ day at school for Kaylee with hot chocolate in the courtyard at school. Dallin likes to carry that big truck around.

hmmm, can't think of a good title

Here is the snowman that the kids made back in December

I made the kids pj bottoms. Kaylee especially loves hers.

Anna had a dance recital and now Kaylee has decided she wants to start too. It's fun for them.

I've been wanting to get some cute pictures of the kids to blowup and put on the wall- but haven't gotten to it yet. This is cute of Anna but I'd love to get one of her cute, real expressions.

Our fun Christmas in Yakima

Kaylee got a little art set that she likes alot.

Lincoln got a marble set that Todd loves to help with.

My dad dressed up as Santa and we visited some families. We loved it.

There was lots of snow that Kay and Lincs loved playing in.

Merry Christmas

We drove to Denver for Thanksgiving. The ride there was great, but coming home there was tons of snow! But we made it. Grandpa Whiting gave Lincoln some deer horns that he uses as a hat rack. We love them.
We enjoyed visiting with everyone and had yummy food.

We love this smile on Dallin's face. It has been so fun decorating for Christmas and looking at lights and making treats (not that I don't make treats all the time anyway) but now I feel like "oh it's for Christmas". The kids are doing the usual sorting presents into their piles and saying, "hey, Lincoln has more than me!" in a grumpy voice. Then I remind them of all that we do have and how blessed we are!

Always something fun

Is this a common thing for kids to pull all the toilet paper off of the roll? I know my other 3 have.

The girls put on a "blueberry & strawberry" ballerina show for us.The boys had fun watching.

Throughout this year I have been putting together a family photobook. I love it. There is a great page with all the pictures of Anna sleeping. I don't even plan these--they just happen so I have to take a picture.
