Christmas

Wintry scene

We had such a nice Christmas. Just the right amount of fun parties versus hyggeligt. :)

Seb got another Brownie in his stocking. It seems to be all he ever wants. If he didn't keep losing them, we'd be overrun! He told me privately that he thought Santa had picked up his old, lost Brownie from San Francisco, cleaned him up and made him new-looking, and brought him back to Sebby! I would never have dared suggest such a thing myself, but I'm glad he thinks so.

Sam and I collaborated on animal shirts again. I can't believe the old ones (which they still try to squeeze themselves into) are three years old!

I made this play tent out of an old sheet and some scraps of flannel.

Abe loves the ukulele he got from Grandma!

Malachi got the cutest little birdie-house (with birdies) from Grandma, too. He loves it!

We made marshmallows.

Got this bunny vest on clearance (after Christmas) for Daisy. So cute!

Recent fun

Daisy stayed with Grandma the night before Thanksgiving, and came back with her hair all curled. She loved playing catch with Grandma after dinner!

We visited Philip and Allison in their new (to us) house and had such a nice time! (This isn't their house, it's a ferris wheel.)

The new Cars Land at Disneyland is very beautiful---looks like Utah :)

Nice tall Disneyland Christmas tree

The cousins loved being together!

Christmas(time) pajamas

Miss Daisy's first haircut---before

And after.

We rode the new Frontrunner train on its first day---it was COLD outside!

Everyone was so happy we got a seat on the top "decker"!

Dotty

I have a hard time imagining that there could be a cuter picture of these baby girls. We love them!

Halloween, etc.

 Cute family of furry things

Face painting at the ward party, done by the young women

Great performances by Abe and Seb at their piano recital

Daisy's been sporting some new hairstyles now that her hair is long/thick enough to actually braid!

And Miss Junie went to nursery for the first time last Sunday.

Soon she'll need some braids too!

Pumpkin Patch 2012

Time for the pumpkin patch again! How Junie has grown!

There was a slide to play on this year, to everyone's great delight.

Driving the truck

Daisy has grown too!

The pumpkin-searchers wander far and wide . . . 

even this little explorer!

Everyone has to choose one they can carry. Daisy is pretty ambitious.

Success!
