December Random

Connor officially rolls all over the place and usually he somehow ends up partially under the couches. Now he just needs to learn to sit, and crawl. He can learn to sit, but I'm still not ready for him crawling!
Our garden finally grew something! A watermelon! There is a small pumpkin growing now too, but I'm not sure if it will survive the winter. The kids ate the watermelon with their dinner and they loved it! I love enjoying the fruits of their labor. Really I did nothing but water it once or twice in the summer. We've had so much rain I kind of just gave up and nothing was actually growing. The kids loved it though and that's what matters.
Kael got legos from Grandma and Grandpa to take home and he has had a great time putting them together. This helicopter was awesome!
Eden had a Kinder Karols activity at school. She learned some of the funniest songs. Texas Jingle Bells is my favorite. Just ask her to sing it for you it's worth it.
Kael started playing basketball this month and has LOVED every second. He is the youngest and shortest on his team, but he is keeping up with them.

We did our yearly tradition of gingerbread houses. Derek put icing to hold Kael's house together and this year Kael did the rest of his house all by himself.


The girls and I had a great time doing our house together.
 Two weeks before Christmas Elfie the Elf used some of his magic and came back to play jokes and watch the kids this year. He left them several notes.

 The kids are officially obsessed with holding Connor now that I am not as stressed he will break if they drop him.



 Eden has done some amazing artwork at school this year! I'm so impressed with the things she comes up with. They were drawing a snowman as the only thing they were told to do were the main white snow parts, and she came up with the rest on her own.


 Aunt Shannon snapped this cute photo of Connor in Utah.

 Eden LOVES dressing up.
 Derek watched the girls while I took Kael to piano and the girls love dressing up Derek just as much as they love dressing up themselves.
 The girls LOVE getting curlers in their hair. Elara's hair was finally long enough for curlers.
