Ward Christmas Party

The ward Christmas party was fabulous this year if only for the fact that I did not have to plan it. I got to sit at a table and eat with my family. Then I set up my tripod and took pictures of all the kids with Santa.

Anarya did not get her picture taken with Santa because before he arrived, Joel had to take her home, bathe her and change her since the diaper bag had not been brought with us. Not such a great activity for Joel.

Nap Changes

Anarya's nap schedule is changing. She doesn't sleep as long in the morning and becomes downright miserable around dinner time. And this has been happening far too often lately. From now on, on top of the morning nap, we are going to have to allow a short one earlier in the afternoon!

Braceless

Before

She was quite excited to get these on and get her teeth straightened out. But about a year before they came off, she was chomping at the bit to have them out.

After

Movie Viewing "Fort"

Shinara wanted to watch a movie in a fort. So, with the iPad and netflix, this is what came about. The baby is in there too.

Christmas Tree decorating

We had guests the night we decorated the tree. We put it up a bit earlier this year but it still took a day or two to get around to decorating it. Kiara Randall and Daisy Peterson dropped in to see Tersa and helped out.

This is the first time we've had to do this! A half decorated tree?! I tell ya. (Can't put up my stockings or porcelain houses either.)
