December 2015

December is such a special time of the year for us.  We love the feeling it brings in our home.  The focus of the Savior's birth helps our family.  We also love celebrating Jake and Madelyn's Birthdays.  

We made a huge mess with our Christmas presents.

She was a tough girl!  She didn't hardly cry. 

Madelyn had a fun filled 2 days.  We had invited everyone for dinner and cake. Madelyn got really sick around 6 pm.  She all of the sudden started throwing up and was so sick.  It was really sad to watch her go from totally excited to totally sick. 

Poor Poor Birthday girl!

She wanted a purple cake for her birthday.  She actually didn't eat any ice cream or cake, because she was so sick.

For some reason I didn't get a picture of her when she took treats to her Kindergarten.  She had a new outfit that she loved.  She took some of Grandma Cinnamon Rolls.
