December in Pictures

Hailee's class has been doing ballet in PE- she did a demonstration for me one morning:

  Our ward Christmas party kids Nativity:

 Jace and Hailee were both angels, Dallin and Eli were wise men...

Cool frosty snow on some branches

Getting this boy to eat takes a lot of patience.  He's by far my pickiest.  Pretty much hates all vegetables.  Or anything I cook. 😔

He ended up with a stomach bug this month and missed several days of school because of it.  Poor buddy...

No explanation:

Aunt Sandy and Rebekah hosted a girls only showing of Beauty and the Beast during Christmas Break- Hailee loved it!

Sleeping under the tree:

 Left to their own devices (no pun intended) over Christmas:

 Hailee and Jace were at Mimi and Papa's one day and Hailee demanded a tea party- by all accounts, Jace was NOT impressed...

Christmas!

Bright and early Christmas morning we had some eager kids ready to open presents!

Let the Lego building begin!!

We had Christmas Dinner at Perry and Sandy's- I was too busy enjoying time with family to take a bunch of pictures, but I did manage to get this one of Hailee:

How she commandeered an entire drumstick I don't know, but she DEVOURED it!

Merry Christmas to all!  We're so thankful for the greatest gift of all: the gift of our Savior's birth and life and Atonement!

Band Concert

Bryson and Dallin both had their band concert this week.  Mr. J is just awesome- the kids love him and he makes band so much fun.

Bryson is pretty committed to the bassoon, but he also plays the baritone sax...

in addition, of course, to the piano.  And the trumpet, alto sax, and flute...

He's one of the few kids that was selected to be in the high school band as an 8th grader, he loves it!

Dallin is still playing the alto sax...

The same exact one that I played in middle school in fact!
