December Discoveries!

We have had so much fun this month! It has been so great to really get to enjoy the holidays in our new home! (Last yr. we moved in the beg. of Nov. and with Brightlie's arrival, we didn't do too much) SO... this yr. we have the decorations up, the Christmas tree, stockings hung, and we have enjoyed lots of shopping and fun quality time together! We also went to San Tan Mall to visit Santa!!! We love B and it is so fun to have her exciting personality shining through each day as she keeps getting older! Here are some of the Dec. events...

Our tree!!!! (Real, of course!)

B is our big helper!

"What is this?"

Brightlie is 13 months old! She has 7 teeth, her hair is getting long, and she loves to play with anything and everything! She says : "Mom", "dada", "doga" (doggie), "no", and lots of other funny noises/chitter chatter. She knows how to sip from a straw. She walks everywhere. Loves books and turning the pages. Recently, while listening to Christmas music started turning circles, waving her arms, and DANCING!!! Mamma's girl for sure!!!!

Our good friends Freddy & Alissa had a huge Christmas party at their house, and had snow brought in to make their yard a winter wonderland.

Brightlie had fun, mostly just wanting to eat it! :)

We always love to spend time with the Srtadlings!

Tiffany and I are thrilled that we have already figured out that our girls

will be in the same age group for school! Hurray! Best friends/cousins!

Pigtails! Brightlie is constantly on the move-

I'm always chasing her around! It's a workout!

Happily married couple... we are so excited to officially celebrate our

3rd Christmas together!

Love having the Ellingsons over!

Dallin & Laura came over for a FHE Fajita dinner at our house- we

always enjoy good laughs with them.

B learned she can climb! "Scoot over daddy!"

Yes, our tree this yr is up 4 ft. on a table...

with a toddler we get very creative with baby proofing!

Mommy & B, doing the Christmas lights!

Hope you are almost ready for Christmas, it's a week away! We are almost there...can't wait for Santa to visit- Brightlie has been a very good girl this yr.!
