Summin' Up December

December 1st...getting baby boy clothes ready
Opening their first gifts of the season
Ethan's school program
Church program for the little tykes...thank God for black tights!!
She made it through saying her part...got weepier towards the end, but didn't cry
Ethan memorizes great. So does Morgan. Landon - not so much. He was having trouble one night in the suburban trying to remember the last of his part and Morgan finished it for him!
Watching my Aunt Marsha (Kuhn) Patel sing in Dr. David Jeremiah's church choir...2nd row, rt. side, standing by man in black suit...:)
Making mints with the munchkins

Snowball fight, sledding and my snowman
Cookies (on my new fun plastic platter) that I had signed up for for an event at church
Auntie spending time with the kiddos outside making a snowman and sledding
Ice skating...Ethan has been before and this was the first time for L and MEthan was doing spins on the ice this time
Landon caught on quickly and had fun
I couldn't skate (OBVIOUSLY!) due to me being pregnant, so I just enjoyed watching them
Went to see some awesome lights after skating
Christmas at my parentsMawmaw gave the munchkins carrots for the reindeer on Christmas Eve. After getting in the car I heard Morgan crying, "I don't whike it!" ...she had taken a huge bite out of hers thinking it was a gift for her!
