Only the beginning of December!

Marlee has started playing with dolls and doll furniture. I love watching her set them all up.

I finally made a little stocking board to hang our stockings on!

I also had fun making these wreaths for my windows... kinda wish I could keep Christmas decor up all year :)

Brinley came home from school and said that one of Marlee's hair bows was in her water bottle. I thought she had to be kidding me but low and behold.... hairbow! Seriously how does that happen!?

NEVER accidentally leave a diaper or pull up in the laundry. Holy cow that stuff gets EVERYWHERE!

Stood outside shaking out a large batch of kids clothes, at least 45 minutes with Ryan's help!

Marlee was so sweet and helped by sweeping the leaves :)

 

We had some friends over one night for some pizza and cookie decorating. A bunch of us Mom's who were on our own with our kids for the night. We watched a little video on service and love, and talked about the true meaning of Christmas.

After cookie decorating the kids sang Jingle Bells for our elderly neighbors and brought them some of the cookies. They loved it :)

We went to Ethel M's for probably our last time! I always love all the lights! Had a fun time with the Nyes. These are the best shots I could get with the kids, hard to get all 6 kids to focus with a line of people waiting! :)

Our last playgroup with these cute girls! Crazy Casen secretly enjoyed it even though he complained about being the only boy!

Our Elf! I wasn't the best with this little guy but the kids still had lots of fun with him!

Casen decided to make his own pair of "rollerblades" out of his old skateboard wheels. Love this kid!

Mariah had us over for ginger bread house decorating. The kids had fun doing their own houses and Marlee had fun playing with their cute puppy the whole time!
