Christmas music

I love all the concerts that come at Christmas time

 Hailey wanted Grandpa Larry to hear her Christmas piano songs.

 Abigail and Carly had their last Christmas choir performance for the year.

They all did great, and Abigail made a cute Christmas elf in the play

Visiting Grandma Ruth and the Christmas village

We went to visit Grandma Ruth and give her a little Christmas gift.  The kids love going to her house and seeing all of the fun trinkets she has, especially at Christmas time.

 She is such a sweet Grandma, and makes the kids feel so special when we visit her.

 our cousins, Jett and Scarlett met us at the Christmas village later that night.  It was fun to have a little kid to follow around and see the excitement in his eyes.

 We stood in line for Isaac to see Santa

I love these kids, and doing these fun things together!

Carly and Hailey basketball

These two got to be on the same team this year!  It was fun watching them play together with their cousins and friends.  They're getting a little more aggressive each year.

Abigail is 12!

Oh how we love our beautiful Abigail!  She is so sweet, helpful, smart, and dedicated.

She is loving 6th grade this year and she has a fabulous teacher.  She loves history, art, playing the harp, being with family, Harry Potter books, creating, and playing games.

 poor girl had to go to the Dr. on her birthday for her shots.

 Her Grandparents came over for a little party.

 We made an orange angel food cake 

 We had another party with friends, since it's the big 12.  They had a nacho bar, played games, and ran around the house screaming.

First of December

 hanging out at Grandma and Grandpa Dawson's

 Isaac falls asleep everywhere, all the time.

 The girls made cute calendars for their 4 H group

 Abigail and I went to visit my new niece, Lexi.  She's a beauty!  

 Isaac made this santa suit at preschool, I had to bribe him to put it on for the picture

We get to snuggle cute Scarlett all of the time, we love it!

 Isaac wanted to snuggle with me and read.  He set it up, and then fell asleep before I got there.

Abigail and Carly had a choir concert at the mall, it was so fun to watch!

Isaac and Hailey really got in to fort making

 turned out pretty good!

My handsome Luke had a Christmas dance at school

At the dance with some of his friends.
