December fun!

Ok, so I have a lot to catch up on if I am going to try and keep this blog up to date...I apologize..I am still fairly new to this whole thing, and I don't know how to make pretty pages yet...so I have ugly pages, but at least they will be up to date..for now! Well, the biggest news for us is we had our ultra sound on Monday, and found out we are having our third little girl! Yes, we were hoping for a boy, but we are SO happy to welcome a baby girl! I had two sisters close in age to me, and had a lot fo fun growing up..so I am happy that my kids will get to have the same experience. Cheyenne and Aurora have SO much fun playing together, I know they will each love to have a second sister. Now we just have to cough up another girl name...doesn't sound hard, but I had a family with eleven kids(who now have their own kids) and Joe had six kids in his..so most names are used up within the fam! Plus Joe and I are having a hard time agreeing on something we like. We have tons of time though!

This is Cheyenne and Aurora's little masterpiece! What a fun family night...they were not even tempted to eat it...all the candy and gingerbread were pretty groce (they were from a premade package), but they are still very proud of their masterpiece and show it to everyone that is around!

Next was Joe's Birthday...he turned 27 on the tenth! Wow, almost thirty.

We just hung out had had a quiet day at home. I attempted to make pesto(Joe's favorite dish) with Joe and it actually turned out..and it was yummy! It looks weird, so I never thought I would like it..I know I am picky!

On Sat the 13th, We had our ward Christmas party. Ward activity days are ALWAYS crazy for us because we are the activity chairs for the ward, and feel like we are running around non-stop. We decided to do a pancake breakfast this year, so I was up at 6:30 a.m. (Thatg is EARLY for me) making pancakes that no one even ate!! However, the turnout was great, and all the kids got to see Santa. I broke away from the kitchen for a bit to take my kids to see Santa..I waited over an hour because there are well over 100 kids in the ward. I was afraid I would wait that long and the kids would be too afraid to see him, however to my happiness and surprise, they LOVED it. Aurora couldn't get to Santa fast enough. They both asked for a my little pony...if only I had kept all of those from my childhood, I think I had like 50 of them! What a change from last year! It was fun!
