December Craziness

Each year, December feels a little crazier.  Here's some every day moments and the many Christmas events leading up to the big day.

We love our visits from Auntie Marti.  Reading a Spanish book to the kids.  When she gets here Miles immediately brings her book after book.

This boy knows how to find the food.

Matt thought Miles looked hilarious in my boots.

The sad, sad day has arrived. We've finally made the transition to no naps for the twins and Charlotte.  Man, I miss them.  My kids did them longer than most kids I know.  Sometimes one of them can't quite make it to bedtime.  Miles' naps are also shorter because the other kids don't get the concept of "quiet" time.  

Ward party Santa.  The boys did not want in this picture.

The youngest always gets to help daddy with the star.  Miles loves candy canes.

Always so exciting to decorate the tree.

The twins' preschool program was adorable or course and hard to see with all the parents there.

The required baby screaming on Santa's lap picture.  Santa seemed a little concerned.

We love Mrs. McClure.  This woman has the right job, she is an awesome preschool teacher!

4 out of the original 9 from the baby batch of 2010 in our church ward.  Hudson also goes to the same preschool but he had left.  I feel like the preschool bus when it's my turn to car pool all the kids!  Olly was less than happy.

Abby's gingerbread house.

Olly's masterpiece.

The only shot I got of Charlotte walking up for her kindergarten preschool program.  They did great and sang lots of cute songs!  I loved all the handmade Christmas shirts they got this year.

We also went to the temple lights but the phone picture turned out super blurry.  I baked way more pumpkin bread and cookies.  I haven't baked that much in years.  I even managed to get the Christmas cards/letters out.  I always love Christmas time and my kids are at really fun ages.  Charlotte sent her Christmas list in October and even received a reply!
