Consider this my Christmas card to you!

You better watch out

You better not cry

You better not pout

Pictures from our ward's breakfast with the big guy!

I don't think I need to tell you why...

Aiden is getting his two front teeth for Christmas already. Santa's really on the ball! I keep playing the "Santa won't bring you any presents if you're naughty" card. It doesn't really work. I've used it too often. He's sweet for about the next fifteen minutes and then asks if I think Santa put him back on the nice list. Aiden is in the first grade. He has been taking a Let's Play Music class and seems to really enjoy it (except when it interferes with his play time with the neighborhood kids). He's learning the fundamentals of music and it's really laying a foundation for piano lessons. He's really got an ear for music.

Gray is so excited for Christmas this year. Every time I tell him it's time for a nap, he pouts and says, "But I will miss Christmas." It was cute. It's been going on now since Thanksgiving. It's getting old. We've been to two parties with Santa now and every time he has to go say Goodbye before we leave and he always tells Santa, "I love you, Santa!" Awwww! Grayson is 3 now. He's my little fireball these days (I know it's the age). He is really smart but becomes completely oblivious when it comes to punishments...interesting. He still loves puzzles, cars, and tormenting his little sister.

Mabel, of course, is terrified of Santa. She's almost 18 months (nursery here we come!). She's getting a mind of her own now. I mean really getting a mind of her own. She bullies the four year old girl I babysit...go figure. She's becoming quite the parrot these days (I'll have to start watching what I say). She loves her big brothers, candy, and sleeping (she's her mother's daughter).

Bret is working hard in the bishopric and at Nikko.

Hollie is hardly working at home.

We wish everyone a MERRY CHRISTMAS and all that jazz!
