My Girl is Seven!

Eliza turned seven on December 6th. She was so excited for her birthday. I made her a snowflake cake for Frozen, her favorite movie. She is just getting so big!

Big Brother

The littlest ones enjoy playing with Westley. He can be a lot of fun when he's not acting all moody.

Temple Square Lights

I took the kids to see the lights at Temple Square the first week of December. We decided to skip fighting traffic and finding parking and took the train. It was a fun adventure for everyone. We went on a Tuesday right after the kids got home from school, so we were able to get there (train takes almost an hour) right about when it was getting dark. It wasn't crowded at all and it was before the weather turned really cold. The lights were magically gorgeous, as always.

Mom/Daughter Dress

My mom brought me a few of my old dresses and this one was one of my favorites.  Eliza decided to try it on Sunday and she wore it to church.  I am pictured with three of my brothers wearing the same dress around the same age.  Well, I think I was about eight, and she is only seven.

Fellows Christmas Party

I hosted a Christmas party for the Fellows side of the family (my mom's side). I wanted to have one last hurrah before we moved. I was quite disappointed that very few people came. Only my cousin Beth, her brother Andy and some of his kids, my aunt Amy and uncle Larry, and John and Allison and their kids came. But it was really great to see the people who did come. These are pictures of the house all ready for the party. The kids and I decorated for Christmas even though we weren't going to be in the house for Christmas. Corey was already in Texas.

Jonah's Hands

I took this picture of Jonah's hand in mine to remember how small his hands once were.  He will probably have big hands like Corey and he is my baby boy.  He still naps most days on the bed with me during Annmarie's nap while the older kids are at school and this was taken when he was asleep but fell asleep holding my hand.

She insists on doing it herself, even when it's messy.

She loves to cuddle with her big sister's baby dolls.

She gets food on her face every time she eats--notice the Lucky Charms marshmallow stuck to her face.
