Family pictures...

Now to go back a bit...we had family pictures taken in the Fall.  Brittney is amazingly talented as always and took some great photos.  It was fun to go right down the street from our house to take these pictures.  Some day that field won't be there any more but we were able to get some beautiful pictures of it before it's only a memory!  Love this family of mine.

Nutcracker and Senske...

 Eliza, Talia and I went and saw the Nutcracker.

 Then that night we stood out in the cold to see the lights at Senske and visit with Santa.

Dancer and Prancer...

Saturday morning (December 9) we went over to Beaver Bark to see two of Santa's reindeers.  Karisa was amazed!  Deer is one of the words we hear her say a lot!

Ward Christmas party...

Our ward had an "Ugly Christmas Party" dinner.

Eliza was appalled that anyone would choose to wear an ugly sweater!  We didn't have any so we all just wore sweaters!

Santa was there too!  Karisa is sitting on Talia's lap and Talia is on Santa's lap...it's as close as Karisa was willing to get!

Christmas pajamas!

 Time for Christmas Pajamas!

 Karisa is going to get this opening present thing down quick!

 Trying to stand up on her own!

 Tis the season to be jolly!

IWI Christmas party
