Sk8r Grrrl

M's work had a Christmas Party for the kids at the local skate rink. They rented the rink for 2 hours and brought in pizza for everyone to eat. Santa even came and handed out gift certificates to Fred Meyers. It took us a while to convince K to put on skates, but once I told her I would put them on too, she was more willing to try. Here is a video of her after she had the skates on for 20 minutes. I think she was getting the hang of moving her feet by this time. If I can get M to go with us again, I don't think it would take long for her to skate on her own.

O Christmas Tree, O Christmas Tree...

We went to the Christmas tree farm Saturday to pick out our tree. We decided to get a smaller one and put it up on a table so L wouldn't pull it down or break ornaments. We have high ceilings so we were able to still get a 6 foot tree. On Monday we decorated the tree for Family Home Evening. K did a wonderful job placing ornaments this year. She clumped them a little bit, but she did it in different places on the tree instead of in one spot. She also helped me put the lights on the tree and did a pretty good job.

The Real Deal

She did it! She took several deliberate steps to get to Daddy.

Family Portrait

Every year we get a family portrait done at Christmas so we can send updated pictures to our extended families. We also got a very cute picture of the girls together. They did a great job.

Ten Months Already...

I can't believe my little baby is already 10 months old. Where has the time gone?
