Month in Pictures!

We ventured to Esbon over Thanksgiving to see my parents!  It was a quick trip to the farm, but the kids had a fabulous time!  They are so very loved by my parents, and my mom made yummy food!

Isla loved the rocking horse~

So blessed and loved!

Grammy and Isla!

We had a visitor this year!  Our elf, Zapper as Rowan has named her, made her appearance the beginning of December!  She came bearing jammies for each of the kids!  Rowan loves to see where Zapper is going to land after reporting to Santa each night, and she really is incentive to make good choices!  We are thinking she will be around for many holiday seasons to come!

Zapper's first night at our house!  And look-she brought presents;-)

Isla has been a big helper!  This picture cracks me up, because Isla was literally crawling underneath Dixie putting away the tupperware. It was a back and forth motion.  I guess she knows the path of least resistance already!

Isla loves Dixie!  I'm thinking Dixie is really her dog~

I hosted a cookie exchange on Dec. 16!  We had 10 people over, and we each brought 72 cookies!  Rowan helped Alex make our cookies, and he was actually a really good helper! 

Row's job was to slice the butter!

 Sassy woke up last Saturday with a 102 degree fever.  I knew soemthing wasn't right, so I took her to the doctor.  He gave her an anitbiotic for a UTI, and she felt much peppier within a day!  Medicine is good!

Sad Sassy:-(

Rowan loves the new IPAD!

 Rowan is going to be like his daddy-he loves to cook!  Every meal he wants to help do something.  This night, he helped me peel carrots to roast vegetables.  He actually did a good job too!

Sassy is really into her babies and doing "Mommy" things.  She loves to diaper the baby and drag carry her around.  She got out all of the diapering supplies and was doing her best to be a good "Mommy!"
