December Happenings

December my favorite month of the year... why you may ask... Because of the feelings and the things to do and see! I think my kids are loving this month the most as well. Belle and Cash are amazed at all the Christmas lights! Everytime we get in the car Belle is singing her lungs out to all the Christmas Carols. Especially Santa Clause is coming to town. Cash tries to sing along but he sounds like a turkey or a screeching bird!!! It's hilarious I will have to video tape it. This month has already been so fun we got to go to the light parade and at first Belle was having a heart attack cause all the loud cars and honking! But when we found our neighbor kids she lightened up a bit. Cash had no idea what was going on! After the parade we went and looked at Christmas lights and found the coolest house I have ever seen.... we pulled up to the house at there was a sign that asked us to turn the radio station to 96.7FM and the house lights were synced to the radio station music. Now this music was not cheesy Christmas music it was like hard core trans siberian orchestra music!!! It was awesome and we couldn't leave and more and more people came it was like we were having our own concert! It was RAD!

The next night we went to the ward Christmas party and I was so proud- Belle saw her friend Lilly eating all we food so Belle tried everything on her plate..... which never happens these days! I was happy! Then we all sang Jingle Bells and Belle got so excited she started clapping and dancing and she yelled so loud, "EVERYBODY DANCE!" haha everyone started cracking up laughing and we all had so much fun. Cash actually started crawling that night. I didn't see it of course but he did!!! Now he is trying to crawl everywhere! I can't believe it. They rest of this month so far has been spent inside mostly because it rains ALL December!!! Except if you look at the last picture it looks like summer and all green when it isn't raining. It is so odd to see GREEN on trees and the grass is Green in DECEMBER. Nothing is really dead here.... WEIRD. I am use to brown everything and lots of snow! Belle and Cash have enjoyed being home... They can't get enough of watching "How the Grinch Stole Christmas- cartoon!" Belle will run up to me and grab my hands and go around the Christmas tree singing da voo door est! as she calls it (the song welcome christmas from the movie)! I love it. Belle has really started to play by herself in her room lately. I catch her playing tea party with all her animals talking to them like they were her friends. I am lovin life right now. I am really also lovin life because the picture of the crib: fitted sheet, Blanket, Bumber, mattress, and the crib we just bought for 20 BUCKS!!! All of it, so I could care less what the design was but now our 10 month old Cash can finally get out of a pac n play!! I am so excited about it.

Oh hahaha and Monkey got his lens kit finally and he was all excited about it and know he keeps telling me all these optometry jokes and laughing really hard at himself.... He is turning into a dork hahaha I love it! This week he has been studying like crazy he has 3 finals this week and 9 next week!!! He is so burnt out but I am so proud of him because he is getting such great grades and trying his hardest to not stress out! He amazes me at how hard he works. I can't wait till next Friday DECEMBER 17TH he finally gets a break and we have him all to ourselves!!! YAY FOR CHRSITMAS!
