Lark's favorite spot this Christmas-knocking over the train tracks

Ward Christmas party!

I think this picture shows how green Lark's eyes can look

Getting into mischief...again

Standing-ish

Trying to figure out how to crawl.  Lark was often in this and other similar yoga positions as she was figuring out how to crawl!

This skirt Violet wore last winter at 25 months...too small for Lark.

At Autumn's dentist apointment

Another one of Lark's favorite spots to hang out-under the table, often getting trapped resulting in 

tears.

12 month clothes: size 3 diapers: learning to eat real food and some baby food:Still super happy go lucky gal

Ho Ho HO

I love visiting Santa at the Children's Village.

 Autumn drew him this elaborate picture of the two of them.  She asked Santa for a "camper van".  As in a real life RV to drive around town.

 This is as close as Maverick got, Violet didn't even make it that far.

 They had some cute crafts including writing a note to Santa and attaching it to a carrot so you could throw it on your roof for the reindeer to give to Santa.

No tears from sweet Lark

Getting in the spirit

The day after Thanksgiving we set up for Christmas

Our thankful tree

We took Noah to view some more of the boots around town.  I think next time he visits he can see the few remaining ones he hasn't seen.

(The store that houses this boot was closed...but I'm counting it as a visit)

That Saturday we went to the downtown Christmas parade.

Hanging out with the Tinnell family

Thanksgiving

Thanksgiving! Evan was originally scheduled to work so we didn't make plans to go anywhere.  Well there was a change in the schedule and he was home.  My brother Noah ended up coming for the weekend which was really fun.

Noah working on the traditional Thanksgiving day puzzle.

My favorite food at Thanksgiving is the relish tray...well since I had to bake/make most of the food this can of olives ended up being my relish tray this year.

Maverick and Violet "helping" in the kitchen

I had to snap a quick picture of Lark in her turkey outfit before I had to change her out of the outfit.

We had a resident and his family over for the meal as well.  It was calm-ish and enjoyable.

Autumn helping uncle Noah with the puzzle

Not only did I make my first turkey I also made my first rainbow Jello.
