December Catch-Up

I've taken sooooo many pictures this month, going through them I'm leaving pictures out all over the place so I'll occasionally see a photo I wanted to include. I was doing really well and then this past week things got crazy and I've not been taking as many photos.

The day after Christmas we went in to SLC to spend some time with Cary's family and we had a Hanukkah party here at EskDale on the last day of Hanukkah and I didn't get photos from any of those events. :P

 These were some I took of Britton at school one day when we went to pick up the kids early and he played with some toys.

 So for Hanukkah, I played the Maccabeats songs for the kids, and now Ella asks all. the. time. for me to play music. Her favorite is the "blue and white song!" because when we look for it on you tube, the background is blue and white.

 Anyway, this particular time, she and Britton were dancing and watching the video. It was really cute.

 Britton likes tools, here he's checking out Dad's drill set and telling Kenneth about all the specs.

 Last week, Alex came to visit from Arizona and brought Aidan and Ella some gifts from Rose and him.

 Aidan loved the legos, but I think he liked Alex helping him put it together even more!

 Ella got some "princess music".

 Britton coming over to check it out too.

 Later that week, it was dress rehearsal time for the kids nativity play.

 Cary trying to give Aidan a pep talk about being up front in the play.

 Britton in his sheep outfit.

 Aidan looking very sad and picked on to have to sit on the "shepherds hill".

 Ella is such a devilish looking angel. ☺

 Aidan wasn't the only kid unhappy about being up front. Ernesto wasn't happy about it either.

More pictures of the actual play to come...and more. ☺

A little bit of this, a little bit of that...

I like ellipses just a little too much...but anyway...

The other night we were doing a photo shoot with the menorah for Hanukkah. I got a couple of pictures of Kenneth that made me laugh.

Really hard.

I'm guessing he won't think it's quite as funny. ☺

 My incredibly cute little boy was sitting on Sharon's lap and decided to play peek-a-boo with her scarf. It was the cutest thing ever, although, pretty much everything he does lately is the cutest thing ever. Well, maybe not everything. ;)

 First night of Hanukkah.

 Christmas program that Aidan and Ella were supposed to sing two songs in, but hey wouldn't even get on the stage. Bummer.

Britton - 10 months

My little Britton is already 10 months old!

-He's still very much a momma's boy.

-Still not walking, but oh so close. (We are scared since he is already into everything!)

-Favorite room in the house is the bathroom. =P Apparently the toilet seat makes a good chew toy. Needless to say, that door stays closed most of the time.

-He still likes to hang out under the kitchen table since thats where all the goodies are. ;)

- He's still really opinionated.

-So cute and cuddly.

-Really paying attention to older siblings and wanting to follow and play with them.

 I was going to do a little photo shoot with him, but it was too close to nap time.

 He got really offended when I wouldn't hold him, so we went and snuggled on the couch until he fells asleep.
