Falling Behind

I am really falling behind on my blogging. I apologize! Here are some pictures of our family taken in December. Enjoy!

Keep checking back often for some more updates and some BIG news!

Christmas

I LOVE Christmas time! Here is a bunch of pictures from our Christmas. Christmas Eve, we got to Skype with my little brother who's on a mission for our church in Russia. (It was Christmas morning for him.) That was wonderful talking to him and seeing him. Then we came home and opened one gift, which were new church outfits for Celeste and Caleb. (That's what the first few pictures are of.) They got to wear them to church Christmas morning. After church, we came home, opened gifts, rested for a while, and then got to talk to my little sister who's on a mission in California! Being able to talk to my siblings make Christmas even that more special. I love it! Enjoy the pictures! :)

Christmas Party

Celeste had a Christmas party at school before the break. She loves preschool and we love having Grandma Harrison as her teacher!

Talking to Santa. She asked for a pair of boots!


Looking in her stocking she made at school.


Eating all the yummy Christmas snacks!


Opening her gift she got from the gift exchange. It's a hair accessory kit. She loved it and wanted me to put in every band in her hair when we got home!

Christmas Tree

I will have a few Christmas posts coming within the next few days, so be watching! Here are pictures of us putting up our Christmas Tree. it's a family tradition to go cut our tree down from the mountains. I LOVE doing it and LOVE having a real tree straight from the forest! These pictures are in no particular order and there's no captions because blogger is being weird. :) Enjoy!

Ouch!

I think this was the closest we've ever been to having a visit to the ER. On Sunday, Caleb fell and hit his head on the corner of one of my piano legs. It was so close to splitting open. Blood was beading out. We were so blessed that it didn't actually split open. Someone told me that evening, "he has a Harry Potter scar!" He definitely would have if it split open. I am so grateful for a Heavenly Father who watches over my family.



He wasn't still crying from the accident. I calmed him down before I took the pictures! :) He is crying because I was taking pictures instead of getting him more M&M's! See the red on his lips? That's from his M&M's!


This last picture was a few hours after it happened. Today, a day later, it's still got a big goose egg and a big bruise.
