AAAND then it was December....

The first part of December we had our first BIG SNOW STORM! The kids went NUTS over it. I couldn't keep ej out of the snow! She was constantly asking to go out in it. A few says we would put rowen down for a nap and she and I would head out. I do not enjoy the snow but she actually made it really fun! She wasn't afraid of anything.Last year she enjoyed walking in it but really didn't TOTALLY enjoy it..... complete opposite this year! 

 we sent her down the next-door-lloyds' stairs and it was awesome. she giggled so loud!

 Then we got her tree up and she went NUTS as we put the ornaments on! as we pulled each ornament out she let out an "OMG"!

 We watched LOTS of Christmas movies! This particular night was Polar Express

Nate took a trip to Canada, so ej got to sleep with me for a few nights. We both enjoy having sleepovers when dad is gone.

 Ej went to a birthday party in the neighborhood so when i went to pick her up i let Rowen sit in her carseat. He was elated. I looked back there and he had on her shades! He is SUCH A NUGGET!

 Nate's work party this year featured Leann Rimes. We were a little skeptical at first but it was AWESOME! We had some extra tickets so we did a little double date with Trent and Lindsie {Cart &   Kayla were AWESOME enough to babysit all 5 KIDS} and had a REALLY FUN NIGHT.

 This year we got an elf on shelf. every morning was like Chrsitmas. EJ would wake up and run through the house looking for our new friend..... she named him-

MARSHMELLOW

 i LOVE it when these two get along!!!

The last week of school before Christmas Break ej wanted to wear ONLY Christmas clothes! i LOVED it!

Home from her Chirstmas Party at school....

Spanish Fork does these SWEET lights! You drive through in the warmth of your own car and they have a radio station you tune into that goes along with the lights. it was so fun!

a certain little guy wasn't too worried about being on the naughty list..... these were all done the week OF CHRISTMAS- LIKE A FEW HOURS BEFORE!!! Dude has no shame! I cried. I have no shame either.

Sunday before CHRISTMAS 

....and during the break we got have these fun boys over a little more often. LOVE THEM!
