Monday, December 5 - The kids and I hadn't been to Gary and Alexis's new house yet so they had us over for dinner and family night. Their house is beautiful! It's in a cute little neighborhood in Lehi and they have a huge kitchen/dining/family room area. In addition to getting to see their new house, we got to see this little sweetie. She's the happiest baby - always smiling! We love Finn!
Tuesday, December 6 - The kids were really sad that I never bought those cheap nasty little chocolate advent calendars and I felt really bad! It is kind of a tradition. So...I improvised! I bought little white boxes and a foam board from the dollar store and made my own candy-holding advent calendar! The best part was that the candy was SO MUCH BETTER! Rolo's and KitKats and Kisses...yum! As you can see, the kids were okay with this replacement calendar!
Wednesday, December 7 - I took this obnoxiously close up picture of Ricki's face because I was worried she may be getting hand, foot, and mouth. (See those red bumps right under her bottom lip?) Well, it never turned into anything, thank heaven, but I actually like this picture of her. It's the first time I've seen her look much more like a child and much less like a toddler. I also love that it captured the depth of her beautiful blue eyes. Those eyes melt my heart!
Thursday, December 8 - Marisa watched Ricki for me today and when I went to pick her up, I got to see and take a picture of Charlotte's cute nails. Ricki and Bridget wanted their nails done too so I sat and painted Ricki's while Marisa painted Bridget's. It was a fun impromptu nail party! :)
Friday, December 9 - When I look through the pictures on my phone, I sometimes get a little surprise...like my kid's face in a perfect selfie! I love this guy!! He helps me so much. I can't wait for the big kids to be off track so that I can spend my days in actual conversations with this kid.
Saturday, December 10 - Mom invited our whole crew to their ward Christmas breakfast. It was amazing! The decorating was just over-the-top gorgeous, breakfast was yummy, and they even had a professional photographer take our picture. Simon had a bunch of stuff he was working on so he didn't make it with us. That was a shame because I really like this bottom picture of the whole fam. Everyone has cute smiles. Activities like this one really put me in the Christmas spirit!
Sunday, December 11 - I did steal these pictures from yesterday but this event was worth having it's own post. Plus, we just stayed home for dinner and nothing much happened on our lazy Sunday so I didn't take any pics. Anyway, we got tickets to go downtown to the Mormon Tabernacle Choir's Christmas Concert. It was a nightmare getting there and getting home but once we were in the conference center, it was amazing! They did a beautiful job!
