My little baking buddies:)
Delivering treat plates to the neighbors.
He wanted to be extra handsome so he added Paul's old bow tie from when he was little.
Our two new Christmas ornaments.
And I found scented pine cones!
And Christmas sprinkles. Not as easy to find as you'd think.
Charlie teaching the girls how to be a "romantic boy".
Fun with dress-up.
Baking day 2.
And the sink full of dishes from it.
M&M cookies and candy cane brownies for the neighbors.
Santa Grace loves Christmas carols and sometimes gets her elf to join her.
Santa Paul reading to the boys.
On one of our Christmas lights drives, we saw this house by the temple. It's hard to see, but they have a huge shark up in their tree, with its face coming out of a lit wreath. Cool!
Danny's been grouchy with a little fever from having shots a while back. He always wants his pacifier and his ABC blanket.
Now, there's a happy guy!
I think he looks like Miles in this picture.
Cutie pie.
Charlie's intense smile.
This is his outfit for the wedding: gray, navy, and maroon. We didn't even have to buy anything!
Sweet Alice before church.
Yes, this was staged, but the fact that they would even do it gives me hope for them. Alice likes to say Charlie is her "sworn enemy".
Reading Christmas books by the light of the tree and fire.
Cozy!
All dolled up for the Tabernacle Choir Christmas concert.
Dinner at the mobbed food court with Lucy/Rob and Spencer/Cassidy.
Great seats with our friends.
We loved it!
Baking day 3: sugar cookies on Saturday morning.
Good work, team!
At the ward party, ready to sing their doll song.
We found some flooding in our toy room, so my hydrologist husband made sure all the water would all be directed to the drain in the laundry room.

Christmas Lights
The awesome tree we saw on our Christmas lights drive.
Alice got really sick as soon as we got home and threw up all night long.
She stayed home from school the next day.
She even took a nap. Charlie didn't want to be left out.
Poor little sicky.
Charlie didn't let Alice stop him from having fun out in the snowstorm.
Joy school J day.
All his letters up through J.
Once Alice was feeling better, they played with all the snow on the patio that slid off the garage roof.
McDonald's before Zoolights.
Zoolights!
Joy school K day: Kids in the Kitchen.
And Kings! King Charlie.
King Danny.
Just hanging out.
The girls saying their prayers before going to sleep in the office (while Mom and Dad were here).
Back in time, our Christmas lights and the snow.
Doctor check-ups for the boys.
The day of the big snowstorm.
Santa at Zoolights.
Carousel at the zoo.
With the fish tree, like the one on my mission in Dagupan, bangus (milkfish) capital of the Philippines.
My new dress for Cassidy's wedding.
Paul's award. So cool!
Proud of him:)
Finishing this blog up right!
