Something good happens each day. Here's what happened in December 2011:
Thu 12/1/11: The Montgomerys flew in tonight to spend the weekend with us! I'm so happy they're here! Eric is such a cutie. Rachel and I had fun taking photos of the babies on my bed even though it was after 11:30 pm when they arrived. I love seeing our sons together.
Fri 12/2/11: We had a fun day with the Montgomerys today. Rachel and I picked up some pizza then picked up Scott from school. We taught Rachel and Craig how to play Forbidden Island while the babies were sleeping. In the evening we played Apples to Apples with Scott and Emma.
Sat 12/3/11: My parents arrived this morning and Grandma Whitcomb immediately began doing her job mothering the two babies, plus Lizzy. We had lunch at Iceberg, and Brad and I had some time to ourselves in the afternoon to get done some shopping. We played Catch Phrase with my dad and the Montgomerys in the evening.
Sun 12/4/11: Today was David's baby blessing! We had a house full of family this afternoon and lots of yummy food. The Clarks, the Harman's, the cousins, and Jared Loveless came to visit.
Mon 12/5/11: We watched "The Christmas Oranges" on DVD tonight for FHE while drinking orange smoothies. Yummy!
Tue 12/6/11: Brought back a huge stack of DVDs from the library today. Brad and I began watching the latest Pirates movie after the kids went to bed. Johnny Depp is fun to watch.
Wed 12/7/11: Tonight was our ward's Christmas party. Lizzy and David had their photos taken with Santa Claus. At first Lizzy was too scared, but Santa was so friendly that Lizzy eventually warmed up to him. She loved the candy cane he gave her and couldn't stop talking about him all the way home.
Thu 12/8/11: My baby is cooing up a storm now! He's so social and sweet. I love his smiles, too. I had so much fun singing to him and Lizzy. They were both a captivated audience.
Fri 12/9/11: Tonight was Del Sol's Christmas Party in Park City. We dropped off Lizzy at her aunt Marilyn's house and Brad and I went with Baby David up into the mountains. The party was fun and the food was great!
Sat 12/10/11: I bought David a jungle-themed play mat off of KSL.com. It's adorable! In the evening we watched "Meet Me In St. Luis." Lizzy loved it.
Sun 12/11/11: We attended a special Stake Conference today with Elder Tom Perry presiding. Elder Perry talked about the importance of reading the scriptures during the Christmas season.
Mon 12/12/11: We made paper snowflakes for Family Home Evening tonight and read the story of Samuel the Lamanite in the Book of Mormon.
Tue 12/13/11: We went to the library tonight and I brought home two DVDs, a book, and two Christmas CDs. Lizzy, as usual, loved saying hi to Draco the Lizard.
Wed 12/14/11: I enjoyed going to the Relief Society Christmas dinner in my pjs tonight. The theme was "Polar Express" so all the sisters were asked to wear their pajamas to church. We had breakfast for dinner, a Christmas message from the stake, and a yummy hot cocoa station at the end of the night.
Thu 12/15/11: I started out my day on a happy note, thanks to my husband. In the evening we picked up an exercising bike I found for sale at KSL.com. Brad will use it to help heal his knee. Hopefully, with therapy, his knee will regain it's strength and return to normal.
Fri 12/16/11: I'm in love with my husband today! I love him everyday, but some days I love him even more. It's nice having the older kids gone and spending one-on-one time with him. I love being his wife.
Sat 12/17/11: I was finally able to get out of the house and get some Christmas shopping done! YAY!
Sun 12/18/11: I love it when Brad tells me I'm "wonderful," "beautiful," and when he says he loves me. He made me feel very loved today.
Mon 12/19/11: Tonight for FHE we delivered Christmas cards and cookies to families in our neighborhood, and we also watched "Mr. Krueger's Christmas" and "The Nativity" together as a family. FUN!
Tue 12/20/11: We went to Abram Bernard's wedding reception at the Stake Center tonight. They decorated the room with beautiful purple paper crane mobiles, and served ice cream and brownies, which the kids loved.
Wed 12/21/11: I have a full heart tonight. I'm so very grateful for the Christmas gifts we received from friends, family, and neighbors this year. I was looking through them tonight and I couldn't help crying. I feel so very blessed.
Thu 12/22/11: Ran some errands today with Lizzy and David. Got one package delivered! YAY! After some last minute Christmas shopping, we got some lunch at In-n-Out and headed home. We ate our food while watching "White Christmas." Lizzy loved dancing to the music.
Fri 12/23/11: Brad coming home from work early made me very happy. I love the holidays!
Sat 12/24/11: I made a big turkey dinner this afternoon. Everything turned out well and yummy. Marilyn and James came over and we watched their Weird Al DVD.
Sun 12/25/11: Watching the children opening presents was my favorite moment today. Everyone was thrilled with what they got. It made me happy as a mother to see my children so excited and enthusiastic.
Mon 12/26/11: We Skped Susie and my parents for the first time. We did it as an entire family for Family Home Evening. Lizzy seemed to like it the most. She loved making faces and seeing herself in the little video window on the monitor.
Tue 12/27/11: I put together Baby David's new bouncer today. It's so dang cute! He loves it, too.
Wed 12/28/11: Brad and I thoroughly enjoyed watching "The Shop Around the Corner" tonight. Great movie! I'm so glad Santa gave it to us for Christmas.
Thu 12/29/11: David gave me his first laugh yesterday. It was very short, and I couldn't get him to do it a second time, but it was still very cute. Scott was in the room and heard him laugh as well.
Fri 12/30/11: The six of us went to "Planet Play" in Draper to play some indoor miniature golf. 'Twas fun! In the evening, Brad and I played "Settlers of Zarahemla" with Brad's dad. Brad won.
Sat 12/31/11: Brad and I got to go on a REAL date today! We went to the movies to watch "The Muppets." After the movie we headed over to Bruce and Loralee's house to celebrate New Year's Eve. On the way home, Brad asked Lizzy, "Lizzy, are you super cute?" Lizzy replied, "No. I'm tired."
