Christmas Cheer

Brad found the most gorgeous real tree this year! Makes for a great background when I want to take pictures of my little ones!

 Afton dances to Christmas music in front of the tree.

Ready for a day full of parties and fun!

She asked for this picture...

 My handsome boy MC-ing for his Christmas party-in Mandarin! So proud.

 Breanna lighting up the stage. I can't believe that pretty thing is my daughter :) Sorry to brag but it's true.

Brad and I at his work Christmas Party

Breanna sending a letter to Santa after our annual Santa picture.

 Making snow angels on the way home from school.

And they asked for this one too (after Jesse's basketball). 

YAY! CHRISTMAS IS ALMOST HERE!!

Afton's 2

Little Afton,being pregnant with and delivering your chubby 10 pound 10 oz body was one of the hardest things I have ever done. But bundling your tiny hands and little precious head every day to pick up Breanna from preschool is easy. I patiently return stuffies that make their way upstairs daily and endlessly pick up books and pencil crayons you scatter all over the floor. I change your diaper 10 times a day and put you back into your bed 25 times a night before you finally close your eyes in exhaustion, and that's easy too. Because I just adore you.

My favorite is when you say "Oh goodness!"

And I love it when you steal stuff from your brother and sister so they will run after you.

When people do things you don't like you point at them and say "shoot! shoot!"

I love how you say thank-you for everything and that you cuddle me and still love your teddy bear.

You say the best prayers, and thank Heavenly Father for pumpkins every day.

You are funny, a good jumper, a good dancer and are especially good at spreading lotion all over the bathroom.

Luckily you have an older brother and sister who also adore you and put up with you pestering them! :)

Happy birthday my precious 2-year- old!!!
