December always seems to be one of the busiest months of the year, but we did manage to slow down a bit and have some fun around the craziness.
We are lucky to live close to a handful of friends. Jude and Cole love playing with the Sawyers who live just down the street from us.
One day George and I and the girls got to build gingerbread houses with Cole at school! It was so cute watching these 5 and 6-year olds decorating their houses.
Mrs. Coleman was sweet and gave Lily and extra house.
She and Daddy worked hard!
As usual, Cole had an exact idea of how he wanted his house to look and he jumped right in.
(We were headed to the gym right after, which is why I'm dressed like this in the middle of December.)
It looks so good, Cole!
I love this little gingerbread girl he created.
"My gingerbread girl is hapy at the bech. She likes the bech."
Lance was able to attend his first temple trip with our ward from Charlottesville! He was already up in Vienna, so Scott was able to chaperone the trip with him.
A great group of youth!
And this crazy lady keeps us on our toes with her Dr. Jeckel/Mr. Hyde personality. She can be so sweet and kind and fun, and then turn around and completely lose it in anger and frustration. We are still trying to figure out how to parent this little person, building her strengths but not giving in to her weaknesses. Of all the kids, she is able to push our buttons the hardest and fastest, but also completely capable of melting our hearts. She is creative, feisty, fiery, and insane and couldn't possibly love her more!
Heaven help us when she becomes a teenager!
