my little photographer...

I allowed Audrey to explore her creative side by taking candid photos of family during the Christmas break. She enjoyed being a little photographer and she got almost everyone. These were all taken by Audrey...

my pretty christmas house

my first nutcracker

Audrey and I went to the Nutcracker ballet this year. Michael bought Audrey tickets for her b-day. It was actually suprisingly very good. The costumes and stage sets were pretty amazing. The dancing was wonderful. Both Audrey and I were mesmorized by the ballerinas. My favorite part with the Land of Snow. Audrey actually sat still and watched the whole thing. It was a little over 2 hours long. I think I might have nightmares about the Rat King. That costume was a little creepy.... but it was fun to spend time alone with audrey. She is turning into a little woman...

my funny baby

oh, this made me laugh out loud!

my kiddies sugar high

We had a really fun ward Christmas party. The kids got to talk to Santa and they really enjoyed all the goodies they got Audrey told Santa that she wanted an American Girl doll and Reese wanted a truck. Sadie was just mesmorized by her candy cane and could have cared less about Santa

. They are still jittery from all the sugar. I suppose we will need a detox plan.
