Seth's Christmas program at church

My little angel

Are we almost finished?

What is going on?

Why am I not by Calvin?

Seth was in a little Christmas program at church last Sunday. He was not too thrilled about it because of where he was standing. He told me before we went to church that he wanted to stand "next to my Calvin and Alexandra or I will not be happy." As you can tell from the pictures he was not. He was so funny because when he saw Grandpa Odie he yelled "Grandpa, Grandpa!" Then he saw Debbie and announced to the whole church "Hey, hey Grandmother is here!" Then while they were singing he spotted my dad and yells above all of the other singing children "Pops, hey Pops, can I ride in your truck to breakfast at Hometown?" It was too funny and a little embarrassing at the same time, but what can you do. He is so cute and has such a mind of his own.

Pops' Birthday

We had Pop's birthday party at our house this year. Seth was so excited to have the family over.

The best nephew ever!

Emmit is the sweetest nephew any auntie could ask for. On December 20 Emmit came over to help with the Christmas cookies that Seth and I were baking for the neighbors. It also happened to be the day of our daughter's birth and I was feeling sort of sad. When Emmit came to the door he had flowers for me. (I just love him so much) Joy told me that he had picked them out and said that he wanted to get yellow and they had to be carnations because "they are Auntie Taunya's favorite." I thought it was so sweet that he remembered my favorite flower. I had told him that while we were on a walk in Elk Grove back in September. This is a picture of the flowers he got for me.

Seth visited the dentist!

Seth's pretty teeth

Seth visited the dentist today. He did so well. Meg, the hygienist, said his teeth look awesome and he has no cavities. Yesss! Meg showed Seth how the instruments worked and he was not scared at all. This was the first time he had the dental instruments for his cleaning. I was so proud of him. The fluoride did make him throw up though. Poor baby! It was reminiscent of my own childhood dental visits. Seth got to pick two prizes out of the prize box because he was so good. He said he will go back in June for his next six month check up. I am glad that he is not afraid to go back since he puked. On to another cute thing Seth said today. He told me that Grandpa Willie needed to shower after he got back from Willie Creek (which should be Willow Creek). I thought it was funny and sweet. He is such a nut sometimes.

Christmas Season 2008

Here are some pictures of what our family has been doing this Christmas season. It is just a random assortment of pictures. Seth has been full of so much wonder. Christmas seems so magical for him this year. It is really neat to watch him. He has had so much fun decorating and wrapping presents. He is in charge of putting the tags on the gifts and he thinks it is the best job ever. Seth has also helped all the family put up their decorations too. He even tried to charge Great-Grandpa $100 for helping. What can I say he is a funny kid. The great grandparents came over the night we put up our tree and played with the kids. They all had such a great time and Great-Grandma even learned how to use my digital camera! We actually have lights on our house this year that Eric put up. Seth thinks they are great!

Family Photos

We had our annual family photos done on Monday. They turned out great and the boys were so good (all three of them!).

Our family Thanksgiving

Make a Smilebox scrapbook

This year we spent Thanksgiving at Auntie and Uncle Frank's house. The kids all had such a great time together and it was fun watching them all interact. The food was so good too, especially the mashed potatoes. Even Cara said the potatoes were good and that is unusual for her. It was nice to spend time with our family and make memories. I feel blessed by my family and am glad that we were able to take part in the festivities...now on to Christmas!
