Fun Family Events

For the first time in 20 years I again attended Mass. Our neighbors baptized their sweet baby Claire and we were invited to go! It was a bit quieter than most Mormon meetings (probably becuase our kids weren't there!) and a soloist sang "How Great Thou Art' that I wanted to join in on! Claire did great! Sunday afternoon we finally put lights and ornaments on our Christmas tree. Annie and Ben did all the ornaments. I can't even tell you how fun it was to watch them!
Emily is now crawling! It clicked last weekend and there is no stopping her now! She also pulls up to her knees, but we won't be encouraging that one!

A Few Odds and Ends

So - for the last 2+ weeks we have had a free pass to 24 hour fitness that I have been taking advantage of. While this has been great for me and the kids, it has not been so good for my blog! Thus - more catch up entries...

I love sleeping pictures. Look at those arms - you can just bite them - and we do! Annie did NOT want to take a nap in her room so she instead fell asleep watching SuperWhy with Ben.
My dear friend Katie met her husband's family outside of Tyler, Texas for a family reunion at one of the resorts there. We went up one afternoon to meet them and were able to play in the lake a bit!

Yes - Annie is totally giving this little girl a look like "Why do you think you are so cool?" It's not Annie's typical look and thankfully Carolyn is still too young to figure it out.
The brood - Katie's 3 and my 3 all playing nicely together....
Emily's classic cheesy smile - she is such a happy girl!
