December Wrap Up.

Grandma Miller surprised us and finished Anderson's stocking. It's adorable!

Mommy's phone is always a hot commodity.

Big boy!!

Parker made A LOT of decorations in preK this year. I love them ALL. Parker was worried Santa wouldn't see his stocking he made. But, sure enough, he did and left Parker and Carter two little "game phone" erasers!

As 2011 comes to a close and 2012 begins- we want to send our love and well wishes to you and yours!

From: Our Family To: Yours

Party, Presents, and PJs OH MY!

On Christmas Eve we went to our good friends the Bunker's house and hung out, ate too much and decorated cookies for Santa. The Lystrups- another family from our ward, and good friends of ours were there.

Here are: All three boys in their Christmas PJs. Parker and his new ornament:

Carter and his ornament:

Anderson and his ornament:

Santa Bum:

All the boys went to bed really nice! Anderson said, on Christmas morning that he snuck a peek at Santa. Daddy and Anderson slept downstairs in case Santa needed help.

SANTA CAME!

We had a really great Christmas. Santa brought lots of books, a spiderman car for parker, a yo gabba gabba puzzle for carter, a fleece snowsuit for anderson, new waterbottles for p&c, and some workbooks. P&C also got socks from santa and an outfit. We also got some wood things- a chore chart and a word puzzle. They boys really enjoyed opening all the presents.

Parker's Christmas Party

Truth be told, I wasn't going to go to Parker's PreK Christmas Party. I'm so glad I changed my mind and found a sitter, and went. The second I walked in, Parker ran up to be, hugged me and said "MOMMY! I KNEW YOU'D COME" Melt my heart.

They made snowmen for a snack.

They also made Santas.

The Master hard at work:

Parker with his class. Rhyme about Santa and the chimney.

Parker and his class singing S-A-N-T-A

Parker and his class singing Rudolph the Red Nosed Reindeer

Parker and his class singing We Wish You a Merry Christmas.

*this one is my favorite.

Christmas Crafts

Parker and Carter made mint hot cocoa for their teachers! We personalized the containers. :)

I made recycled Crayons for the primary. :) so fun.

AND Anderson got his own PJ bucket!! :)

Cannibalism?

*Warning: Graphic Image may be disturbing to some viewers This is my placenta. I took paint and made prints out of it. Such an amazing organ.

Tree of Life prints.

After I made the prints, I brough my placenta to a friend and fellow doula to encapsulate it. :) Placenta pills are supposed to help ward off ppd and can help milk supply.

December Fun

Here is another hat I made for a special order. Love car rides. All THREE boys are asleep.... Look in the little mirror you can barely see Anderson is sleeping too.

We made countdown chains til Santa!

Shelb sent Anderson some Christmas PJs and we tried them on and sent her a pic!

lucky ducky

I won an ERGO from Mother Earth Baby in Oswego!! I won the carrier, a backback and a front pouch. I felt like the luckiest girl in the world!

I could even carry Parker in it. This thing is awesome!!!
