Little Joys In Life: December 2011 -- A Jam Packed Month

M at her Ballet Recital. This is her first dance class she has taken and loves every minute of it.

With her Sugar and Spice Ballet Class

In May we bought a brand new Sonata and decided to hold onto our Neon for sentimental reasons. Lighting is 14 years old and after 10 years we sold Lightning McQueen to a friend. I bought this car a month after I came home from my mission (paying cash) and the first day that I owned her Chad drove her and did a Donut in the snow. Now she is attending High School. The kids cried saying goodbye commenting that Mater (our tan Odyssey) and Sally (our blue Sonata) were going to be sad not having Lightning around.

E at his Christmas program for Preschool.


E and M were very excited to visit with Santa Claus and Mrs . Claus at the dentist office.

They were even more excited to get Donuts and Chocolate Milk.

M started Gymnastics this year and loves it. She now can do the splits. She has come so far since June. Her muscles are so strong and has amazing definition and her stomach is solid.

Showing off some of her moves.

M - At her Jingle Jam for school.

Our Neighbor is in the Tabernacle Choir and gave us tickets to see the Christmas Concert. We were so excited that M was 8 and able to go with us.

My friend from growing up blessed her baby girl and we were so glad we were living here to be apart of it.

Christmas Eve - We were able to see all family from all sides and really had a wonderful day. Thank goodness for no throwing up and emergency dentist visits for the kids like last Christmas Eve.
