december is flying by
the kids are on their two week break from school
but i figured i should catch up on december before it's Christmas
henry finally likes TV
for a long time he wasn't interested but now he likes it a little
especially "big" clifford
it's helpful when i'm sitting nursing jude to keep an eye on him
noah's school class has a goal to read 40 books this year
and he is well on his way
he has read all the harry potter books and now he's reading some shorter ones
eleanor's pre-school Christmas program was the cutest ever!
eleanor and her teacher miss mandy
jude is just the sweetest
eleanor helped me shovel the whole driveway
i got summoned for jury duty in a couple weeks
i won't be able to serve because i'm nursing jude and not ready to leave him for that long
but i'll still have to go in and tell them
michael finally got a raise! so grateful for his hard work and that his company is finally doing better
noah went with the k-kids to sing at the retirement center
we always love going to the stake nativity
me and eleanor were mary, michael was joseph, henry and jude were Jesus, hazel and olive were angels and noah was a wise man
it was worth a try, right?
jude's favorite spot at church-the mother's room
dancing on the counter to Christmas music
homemade baked french fries
delicious! thanks michael
she was stuck
olive's tiny adorable snowman
snowy soccer with henry
eleanor was helping me clean the playroom and i looked over to see she was cleaning
the duplos like this
henry was being a stinker pounding on the piano but he looked so sweet resting
taking "naps" on the stairs
i'd forgotten to give jude tummy time for a while because he didn't like it last time i tried
but i tried again when he was 10 weeks and he rolled over!
proud baby
i don't get to stay and watch hazel dance very often these days so i was happy to get to on video day
jude fell asleep during dinner
michael helped the kids build a snowman
michael is such an engineer
he totally hacked this pillow/shirt (to smell like him) situation to be able to put jude down
henry is pretty awesome at telling me when he needs to poop
occasionally he uses it as a ploy to avoid naptime
i take lots of pictures of jude
he's just too cute
michael and i went to an ugly sweater party our friends put on (jude came too)
it was a lot of fun!!
i dressed him up for our ward Christmas party
he was so cute
super late for church after 4 of our kids were up in the night for various reasons
poor noah has had the worst cold
we spent sacrament in the primary room listening
fun dad out playing in the snow with them
we are very supportive of jude's tummy time :)
bedtime wrestling with dad
so cute and clean after a bath
eleanor put henry's snowsuit on all by herself
it was way too small but i was proud of her independence
cutest little sleeper
we all took michael out to lunch
it helps break up our days and the kids love it
quietly playing in the living room
me and my sweet little cuddle muffin early this morning
