Abigail's first ponytail!

I've been wanting to do a little piggie tail in Abigail's hair, but it has been too fine, until today!  She just looks adoreable!

Off to the MTC

We woke up to such a horrendous snow storm!  Which made me nervous since we were going to see Brent off at the MTC.  We could barely get out of the driveway, it was crazy!

We all made it safely to the MTC.  It was a great experience, and I'm so glad I was able to go.  There's something special, hearing all those missionaries sing 'called to serve' together.

We will miss Brent!  He's such a fun uncle, and the kids adore him.  Luke thinks he's going to a party, haha!

Our Pretty Pianist

Abigail loves Grandma Sharla's piano.  And I love seeing her cute little reflection.

Christmas!

The kids made Christmas so much fun this year! We spent Christmas Eve with my family.  We had dinner and opened gifts. Luke took a couple of minutes to get excited about opening presents, but then he was loving it.

Abbie got a cabbage patch baby from Grandma Bars, and boy does she love it.

 She knows just what to do.

Christmas morning was fun. The kids had all the practice they needed on the night before, because Luke was ready! As soon as he saw all those presents, he ripped into them.

Christmas day we went to the Dawsons.  We had lunch and exchanged gifts. Luke and Abbie had so much fun with their cousins and their new toys. We are so blessed to be surrounded by our family at this time of the year. 

Carruth Christmas party

We had our Carruth family Christmas party the other night. We always have our traditional crepes for dinner, and played games with cousins and aunts and uncles.

The men were all watching the game, Jed, my Dad, Jay, Luke, little Luke, Blake, Matt, Ben, and Brent. Either Ben couldn't take his eyes off the game, or he was hiding his pink eye.

Abbie, Luke, Jenna, and Katie.
