Baby Doll

My Mom made Ellie the most beautiful little baby doll for Christmas and she

just loves it. Here is Ellie with the doll she has named Pena.

9 Months

Our little man is not so little anymore he's 9 months now It's just amazing to me how fast they grow. He wears 12 month clothes we a few things in the 18 months sizing he is a big boy. He's going to out grow Ellie soon if he keeps up this pace he's a little over 23 lbs and 29 inches. He crawls everywhere and with the wood floors it's really funny to watch him when he's excited or mad because he slaps the floor as he crawls. He pulls up to stand all the time now and is standing by himself for a few seconds here and there before he hits the floor.



I was trying to get a nice picture of the kids the other day, but Ellie insisted it was too cold to participate so here is a cute one I got of the boys.

Nativity

When Bella moved to N.M she gave us a beautiful old Nativity that her mother painted. We set it up this week and we just love it. We're not doing a lot of decorating this year as I'm sure Mason would try to pull it over and take all the ornaments off and we're going to be in AZ for Christmas.

Lessons Learned and Thanksgiving

On our way to St. George for Thanksgiving we stopped in South Salt Lake to pick up a car that Mom and Dad bought to take it down to save them a trip up North. It ended up needing a new battery so we went over to the tire place and waited for the new one to be delivered. Dell went in with Daddy and started playing and swinging on the arms of the chairs well on one of his back swings the chair gave a little wiggle and down Dell went face first flat on the floor. He came out crying and ended up with a HUGE fat lip a bit if a red spot on his forehead and a little bloody nose. Needless to say I think he's learned his lesson about swinging on chairs.



We had a nice Thanksgiving with friends. I didn't really take any pictures other that the one of Mason enjoy the Blueberry cheese cake. He ate some stuffing, mashed potatoes and sweet potatoes and he enjoyed all of it. I did do a little black Friday shopping but I didn't go out super early. I was able to get each of the kids $3 PJ's and a coat, sweatshirt and Lego Blocks for Mason for under $35 I didn't think that was to bad at all and really there wasn't to many people.
