Our Gingerbread House

My mom bought the girls a gingerbread house kit and we had so much fun making it! The girls loved putting candy all over it. I'm not sure if more got onthe house or in their bellies, though. It was such a fun project to do together!

Go Tell it on the Mountain!

The kids sang in church this morning and did such a great job! I wish I could post the whole video on here! They were great! I was so proud!

Christmas in Lake City

We went to look at lights downtown last night and found a lot of fun things set up. There was a petting zoo, a little train to ride, a bounce house, and a pony ride! What fun! Stay tuned, we heard that next weekend, they are bringing in some snow!

Christmas Pictures!

It's so much fun to get the girls dressed up in festive outfits and take their pictures! They are so special and I love capturing their little personalities on film! We got pictures in front of our Christmas tree, in a sleigh in downtown Lake City and this morning before church on our fireplace.

Enjoying Marmie and Granda

My parents came to visit this weekend. We always have such a great time when family comes! I wish I had taken more pictures of the girls with my parents, but this was the only one I got. We were playing out on the church playground.

Ho Ho Ho!

We had a couple opportunities to go see Santa this weekend and I was hoping to get the traditional Santa photo at some point. My hopes weren't too high since Kaylin is afraid of Santa and Maryella doesn't know who he is. I knew Annlee was jumping at the chance to go see him, so I was counting on at least one good picture.
The following pictures are what I got...
At church:
The picture I knew I would get, Santa and Annlee!
Maryella was fine as long as I was right there with her.
Then, much to my surprise, Kaylin was willing to stand beside Santa as long as Maryella was in between. (Of course, she was bribed with the promise of picking something from her favorite local store here.)
Downtown later that night:
Kaylin had a good experience that morning, so she said she was brave enough to go see Santa again that night. I was really proud of her. Maryella wasn't too thrilled with the idea.

I love this one. Maryella is trying to figure out who that guy is. She kept calling him Papa.

Best friends

It's funny - when all three of the girls are together, someone gets left out - usually Maryella. But if it's just her with one of her sisters, they play really well together. Maryella and Annlee play especially well together. It's so much fun to watch them. Today they had a ball playing together with their babies in the laundry basket. Watching the girls together is one of my favorite things in the world to do!
