Bridget loses her 1st tooth

 

Christmas parties and sickness

Our beautiful yard in the fluffy snow. I love fluffy snow. It sparkles and when you get close you can see detailed flakes. 

The kids singing with the other primary kids at the ward Christmas party. The kids and I worked hard for a month to learn As Shepards Kept Their Lonley Vigil. For the Stake Christmas concert. We werent able to go because I had Tonsillitis, so we sang it at the Christmas party. 

Princess Anna!

Rat-a-tat this one is polka dot

Sienna has become a box sleeper. She was so excited when the Christmas boxes started pouring in. (We have 8 unoccupied mattresses in the house she could choose from. 😉)

Bridget's primary teacher sent me home with this when the kids were sick. "It's my big-a-tizer!"

Lucy wearing the baby momo costume I made when Bridget was a baby.

I finally caught a photo of our duck eater. A golden Eagle. 

Keeping a sick baby happy. 

Driving home from karate I loved how prettt our house is in the dark. 

I had a nice few years without having to use this machine, but I am so grateful we have it available and I didnt have to rush to the er to get Lucy taken care of. 

I love putting pigtails on this girl!

Boogery, but worth it. 

Lucy has started to climb the step stools...kind of a problem because she cant get down, but if I put them away Bridget can't reach anything. 

Bridget shared her precious blanket...but only for the picture. 

 

Lucy stuff

Lucy has started drawing and she takes it very seriously. It is adorable.

I got to enjoy my very first live Christmas tree. It is gorgeous and smells like pine.

Gabriel hosts a nightly story time for Bridget. I love what an awesome big brother he is. Bridget said he bears wanted to listen too tonight.

Lucy loves to hunt clothes from the laundry basket to dress up with. 

Sienna loving the rats. "They are like little cats mommy."

Sienna caught a mouse. I am not a fan of the mice. She released it into the woods eventually though so....a win? 

My mice hunters

It is fun seeing the costume I made baby Gabriel on Lucy. 

Lucy's one year check-up. They have an adorable mini couch in the waiting room, so I thought a photoshoot was in order.  Her increased activity made her drop to the 3rd percentile where my kids like to hang out, but her doctor really wants her to get fat. She is 17lbs which is 3lbs more than her last appointment.  Told me to feed her lots and have her drink lots of water. I have never had a doctor tell me to give my 1 year old water, but Lucy is a fan and makes cute noises after every drink. She loves using a cup and freaks out when I want to help her, but ends up quite wet if I don't.
