December Daily: Day 7

Literally, within the past week or so, Little Miss Attitude has come to stay at our house. Sabrina has always been a fairly easy going (but very stubborn) little girl. She has shown plenty of independence and other typical two-year-old behavior since she turned two in May, but lately she's decided to take things up a notch or two - just to make life a little more exciting around here, of course.

December Daily: Day 6

I love how this nativity set gets so much love from little hands every year. It seems like this year they are enjoying it more than ever. Both Grant and Ryleigh love acting out the Christmas story with the little people and animals. In fact, Ryleigh has promised us a "show" (telling her version of the Christmas story using this set) soon and has been "practicing" for it. It's going to be interesting I'm sure! :-)

December Daily: Day 5

We had our annual church Christmas banquet tonight. As usual, our kids thoroughly enjoyed greeting people as they came in the door with a "Merry Christmas!" and a candy cane for everyone. They all looked so cute that I got my camera out to take a picture of them in action, only to find out that my camera battery was dead. So. Annoying. There were quite a few candy canes left over, so Ryleigh and Grant insisted on decorating the small tree that stands in my dining room with them. It looks cute, but I'm not sure if I like the idea of having candy within such easy reach of little hands. Guess we'll have to see how it goes....

December Daily - Day 8

This boy is obsessed with musical instruments these days. His favorites? Piano, guitar, drum, trumpet, trombone & cymbals.

Santa Baby

Finally got Ryleigh to sit still long enough for me to take a picture of her in her Santa hat.
