| Love this pic of Larkyn admiring herself in her new Christmas dress! |
The kids made snowmen ornaments with "sock" hats to give to family this Christmas. Larkyn helped paint the balls white and the older two helped with the faces.
The older two went all over our street handing out invitations to our Christmas program at church :). We were so excited that our neighbor Mr. Ken came!

| Colton and Summer were a big help putting the stamps on our Christmas postcards. |

| Baking |
We baked a lot throughout the holiday season and stock piled our goodies in the deep freezer. We made little plates of cookies to pass out with our Christmas card to the neighbors when our family went caroling.

| Bundled up for neighborhood caroling! |
We did the Jesse tree advent calendar as we anticipated Christmas, reading Scriptures at dinner together that foreshadowed/lead up to Christ's birth, as well as this felt advent calendar from my Grandma Kirkwood.
We all loved getting Christmas cards and this year made a Christmas card wall. The kids loved looking at the wall and finding pictures of their family and friends.
We had a fair amount of snow! Colton took his little snowplow out in the snow to plow the picnic table...I had to take a picture!
Can you find the mini snowplow in this picture?!? It's on the bench....;)
December is perfect for snuggles and reading!
Oh this munchkin ;)
Colton has been busy building lots of legos he got from Grandma and Grandpa T and Auntie Sarah and Uncle Ty
Summer's dollhouse is now in Larkyn's room, which is really fun for her!
Summer gets to keep the new Barbie house that the girls got from Grandma and Grandpa T in her room :).

Big Bro and Lil Sis in the snow...
Larkyn is a Lil' Climber just like her mom....
We made lots of visits to this indoor park to burn off energy when it was too cold to be outside.
Grandma and Grandpa K visited Summer for lunch at school and got to see her class!
Larkyn has been loving a duplo lego set she got from Aunt Nancy and Uncle Paul and asks almost daily to put it together again!
Larkyn vacuuming with her new vacuum from Grandma and Grandpa K :)
There was a special exhibit at the Minnesota Institute of Art about Martin Luther so we went as a family over winter break.
I got to go cross country skiing with my cousin Jenna, Uncle Scott, and my dad. It was SO fun and makes me want to get skiis!

| My best high school friend and college roommate, Megan, got married. I got to be personal attendant and Paul was super dad with the three kids while I was busy all day with wedding stuff. This picture was taken post-9pm and its not the best, but it documents it anyway. It was a fun wedding and I enjoyed seeing high school and college friends! |

| We got to babysit Teddy for a day! |

| Sweet boy! |
Well, I think that wraps my December catch-all post! On to more adventures in 2017!
