December Events

I thought I'd just make a slide show for most of our December events. Jaeden's holiday class party included making a gingerbread house among many other activities! She had a ball! I think my CLEAN daughter was the messiest..shocker I know!

We had all of Jaeden's friends over one day to decorate Christmas cookies. They are quite the artist's I must say. Then they played games and sang christmas songs. It was a great time and something I think we'll do every year.
I usually kind of dread putting up the Christmas tree, only because it's such a pain. But this year we ALL put it up and decorated it as a family. Talan thought he was so big putting ornaments at the top of the tree and Jaeden's always such a helper. It made this year so special! They even helped take it down!

Our ward had a Christmas breakfast and to the kids surprise Santa came! It was the most excited that I have EVER seen Talan. His face says it all! Jaeden was excited too, but did not quite yell as loud as Talan did when he saw Santa. She thinks that it wasn't the "real" santa, but it was one of his helpers. She said it didn't look like Santa. She's getting too smart for me!!

Happy Birthday buddy!

As for most of us December went by so fast, that now it's January and I have sooo much blogging to do! I'll try to catch up on all of it soon.

Well my little baby isn't a baby anymore :-( Talan turned 3 on Dec 7th and we had a family/friend party for him at the park. It was very simple, filled with Talan's love for tractor's and he had a great time! He received so many great toys, books, clothes, and more toys. Thank you!
This past year we can't believe how much Talan has grown up. He is such an active little guy and he keep's us going all the time. He has especially changed this past month couple of months. His speech is getting so much clearer (at least for us!), he has been better about sharing his toys, actually sitting when I put him in time-out, and being a kind sweet little boy. My favorite thing is when he tell us that he loves us. It's usually when we are driving somewhere and he will just out of the blue say "I love daddy, sissy, mommy, and bellzer's (our dog, Belle). Although I'm very sad he's growing up, this new year will be so fun to see him grow some more!
