Days 16-20

Day 16: wrap presents for each other (Molly and Stockton wrapped a present for Brynn, Molly and Brynn for Stockton, and Stockton and Brynn for Molly)

I was worried that the kids wouldn't keep the gifts a secret but they did!  And it was so fun to see how excited they were for Christmas morning so they could give the gift.

Day 17: paper plate tree garland
We painted paper plates green, cut them into eights, glued pom-poms on them, then strung them on some yarn.  Ours was really long...with three plates that made 24 trees!

Day 18: get new Christmas socks
Day 19: Festival of Lights
Brynn really loved the lights, but just as much she loved going wherever she wanted in the car.  She is a monkey.
Day 20: decorate sugar cookies

Dad wrapped the kids up like a Christmas tree, much to their delight.  They giggled and giggled and then had even more fun getting out of it.
 
Here's a video of Molly's class at the elementary school's Christmas sing-along.  It's in two pieces because I'm a dork and stopped recording for one second right in the middle.

And you know you have an awesome Daddy when he makes you a Thor hammer out of a dowel, green floral foam, and duct tape.

Brynn @ 18 months

Yes, you read that right.  Brynn is 18 months old!!  She is so fun to have around the house and I haven't done a post devoted just to her for a while, so I thought it was about time. -She loves books!  She was never really that interested until sometime in the past couple months and now she can't get enough.  Sacrament meeting went from impossible to we can make it through...as long as I pack enough books for her.  This is how I often find her at night or during nap time. -She also loves blankets and towels, although she is not particular about which blanket.  She just wants something soft. She wants to walk around all over with them wrapped around her...they don't stay very well and she gets frustrated.  For that reason, I try to keep her blankets out of sight during the day. They come out when it's time to sleep. -Like my other kids, she loves her warm milk!  Actually, she'll drink it cold too. -She is a quiet one, always has ...

Christmas Advent 2012

Okay, here goes... Day 1: paint clay ornaments When we cut down trees this year there were a bunch of tops already cut down just lying on the ground so we took a couple home...one for Molly and Stockton's room and one for Brynn's room.  When the ornaments were dry I hung them on their little trees. Day 2: watch the Christmas Devotional (And eat Christmas corn!) Day 3: library story time Stockton was pretty nervous to see Santa but I think he was even more scared of not telling him what he wanted for Christmas.  He's smiling but it's a nervous smile!   Brynn had no reaction.   Day 4: Santa face craft   Day 5: Festival of Lights   Day 6: write letters to Santa Stockton: "Captain America" Molly: "an easy bake oven" & "a car for Molly"    Day 7: go shopping for cousin exchange and wrap presents Day 8: North Pole Express with Moyes family           ...
