December

Lately I just cannot bring myself to blog. I want to, I enjoy reading everyone ele's I just cant do it! So I am starting small with pictures and a few words.

She's just beautiful. We made Christmas cookies. We got busier this holiday season then I had wanted/planned, however we did make time to do lots of things together. I made sure to dive in and make messes and enjoy their little flour covered hands (and my flour covered floors) several times leading up to Christmas.

Grace loves her ballet class. I've been a bit concerned because the class is so serious. There is no playing- the girls do not giggle and smile, but she actually seems to like the seriousness and learning all the skills they are teaching her. Maybe we have a ballerina on our hands! Either way she seems so mature and lovely!

The kids and I made a gingerbead (ghram cracker) house. My sweet boy. I let them try several pieces of candy, and then told Gabe not to eat any more candy. Sometimes Gabe doesn't listen. But here he was so cute, he really was trying not to eat the candy. He kept looking at me and saying "ok mommy" and then the candy would just float to his mouth like a magnet. He tried- it was cute.

Yay for messes!

My aunt liz took us all out to lunch one day for an ortament exchange/baby shower. It was so sweet! And look at this little sweater vest my cousin picked out for baby Judah. (Yep that's right I blogged it!- his name:)

My camera stinks. But grace helped Josh rake the millions of leaves in our backyard. She worked so hard, josh said she litterally was a huge help!
