December Photo Dump

We had a fantastic December!  December is the BEST month of the year!  I love doing all of the Christmas stuff!  It is always so magical for me.  The kids love all of our traditions that we have been doing, and have been having a lot of fun starting new ones as well!  It is so much fun to spend so much time together.  The weather was impeccable in December- hardly ANY snow!  So, the traditions of sledding and playing in the snow/building forts and stuff like that were not feasible, but we didn't let that stop us!  We had plenty of fun without the snow.  Here's a photo diary of our fun month!

Lincoln's BIG into coloring at the moment- and he can pretty much do it in ANY monkey position! 

One night, hidden in the box, was the movie How the Grinch Stole Christmas.  So, we got all snuggled up on the couch and I made some GRINCH PUNCH and we had a wonderful time!  The kids were having so much fun they couldn't BEAR to look away from the T.V. for too long.

I LOVE this baby!

This little lady LOVES to be in the kitchen with me!  if I am in the kitchen doing ANYTHING, she has to be right there up on her little perch with me.  And in December, we do a LOT of cookin!

We went downtown for the Parade of Lights!  We didn't really get there early enough, so we couldn't see because we were like 4 people deep watching the parade!  But we sure had a fun time.  Notice we aren't even in any sort of warm clothes!  Stockton has his hat on, but he was totally hot and sweaty!  It was awesome.  I love my boys!

We brought Cosette and Elias Rogers with us, and they are so adorable.  My boys love them both! 

Figgy Pudding (our friendly Elf on the Shelf) was a little bit crazy this year!  He did lots of crazy stuff!  Here he is reading a story to all of the Nativity characters!

After a particularly rough day at home, Figgy left a note...Lincoln, Payton, Morgan, Stockton- Remember- BE GOOD!!!  I'm watching you!  Silly Figgy!

Another day of the Box, the kids got all new Coloring Books, and they had SO much fun!  I love watching these cute kids do stuff like this together!  They are just starting to really play well together for pretty long periods of time.  Day depending, of course! So cute!

Here's my little Mixed up SuperHero!  We call him Mr. America fire blocking snow ball throwing crazy man!

Again- there is NO one that can make Stockton laugh as hard as his big brother Payton!

We had a really fun Gingerbread house making party this year!  We invited a few friends- the Lands family, the Leons',  and the Naandi's.  We all had SOO much fun, and it was so great to be all together having fun!

CRAZY Figgy :)

Here's our beautiful Christmas Tree!  Complete with Brown paper Packages tied up with strings...

Here's Figgy's farewell stunt!  I love that Figgy...and so do the children!

MERRY CHRISTMAS MONTH!!!!  I love Christmas- I don't know if you knew. :)
