December

Last day of preschool after the sing a long before Christmas vacation. Matthew had a fever and Seth had a rash during this. Turns out Matthew was getting his fourth tooth (in four weeks) and Seth had an allergic reaction to something. The joys of sick kids. I'm just grateful it wasn't more than colds and that we are all healthy at the moment. Nothing like a month of colds/coughs/whiny kids to make one appreciate being healthy.

LOVE THIS

Out for a walk and he requested a picture by our neighbor's decorations. This neighbor has a dog and sometimes let's the boys pet it. 

We got to be Mary, Joseph, and baby Jesus for the Relief Society Christmas party. It a very late night for my kids and I am a little tired of gift exchanges now, but it was fun and Matthew was an adorable, charismatic baby Jesus. 

 Is there anything better than watching the man of my dreams hold our sweet children and show them a Christmas advent calendar most nights in December?? I don't think so. 

More of the neighbor's decorations that they just had to have a picture by.

I could get used to their requests for pictures with this kind of face.

Took the boys to Sea World Elmo show. So fun. We got great seats and the boys were cute with Elmo and Cookie Monster afterwards. We also saw the sea lion show, the ice skating show and o wondrous night. It was almost magical watching the ice skating show and seeing all the lights and fake snow and the holiday feels.

Excuse me while I pick up my heart that just melted all over. Oh my, how I love these adorable little stinkers! 

Are there words to describe what a glorious sight this is?? 

My boys are getting too good at hide-n-seek. I probably walked by and looked in the closet three times without finding him. He finally had to make a noise. I love that he brought along reading material. Guess he knew he hit the jackpot of hiding places.
