The kids had a great time decorating the Christmas tree. We didn't have a lot of ornaments, but John was so creative. The brown wrapping that goes around our tree came from a gift that John ordered for me online(I think all my presents got ordered online this year). It was a very long strip of paper. John cut it into thinner strips and scrunched it up. It may sound interesting, but the outcome was very beautiful.
They love putting the ornaments on so much, I swear they take them off once a day and move them around.
Deeken especially liked the ornament that Noah made in Kindergarten last year.Other things that have been said or happened:
Josie went in for a late four month well child exam, and Deeken went in for an even later 2 year old exam. So on the 11 of December, there stats were as follows:
Deeken weight: 26 lbs 8 oz (28%)
Height: 35 inches (60%)
Head Circumference: 19 1/2 (67%)
Josie
Weight: 12 lbs 12 oz (23%)
Length: 24 1/4 (41%)
Head Circumference: 15 3/4 (17%)
Last night we had FHE. Ever since the kids had their primary program where the kids walked onto the stage saying in a microphone, first their name and then "I am a Child of God," we have started our family Home Evening this way. So John went first then me, then Micah, then Deeken says,"I Deeken, I Child of God." I can not tell you how strong the Spirit was. For a two year old to know who he truly is....It was amazing!
Deeken can also sing 'Jesus wants me for a sunbeam,' and 'I am a Child of God.' I LOVE hearing him sing it.
So when we were having FHE and the kids asked about treats, we reminded them that they had lost their treats, because of bad behavior. John reminded them that they need to try hard to listen and obey, or Santa might not bring them presents. Micah pipes up," We are on the good list, so were gonna get presents." John begins to tell her how your name can easily move from the good list to the bad list. Noah chimes in, "if you write in pencil it is. If you write in pen it's not. Unless your magic."

I love hearing all funny things your kids say. And I am amazed Josie was only 12lbs 12 oz at 4 months...she must be tiny cause Josh was over 15 lbs and he is only 50%ile. I can't wait to see her in person.
I love funny comments from children. They are so innocent! We all need to take lessons from the little ones...:)
I think your tree looks better then mine. I love your kids. They say the cutest things.
It's fun to have a tree, I am impressed that you guys got one. Our little one is dead, we will have to take it down this weekend. Love the things your kids say, it would sure be nice to see you guys. Wish you would make a trip down to Portland soon.
I cried when the kids got up in sacrament that is such a great thing to do as a family. Can you believe this weather! Good luck and I hope you all have an Awesome Christmas!
That's hillarious. Noah might just be a stand up comedian some day.
What a talented bunch. The tree is beautiful.
We can't wait to see all those smiles in person.
