December Photo Dump

We've been getting creative since it's been way too cold to go outside. 

This desk may not look like much, but I grew up with it. It was mine all through junior high and high school, it was there whenever I came home on college breaks, and then it was ours after we got married and Jon has been using it to study. We've recently been selling a few things off to make room for the new baby and to help pay for some unexpected bills and this one one of the things to go. I snapped this really quick right before Jon helped the buyer load it up into his car. It was very sad for me, which seems so dumb because it's just a desk, but at least I have this little picture to remember it by. 

My Oldest nephew, Kannon, was baptized at the beginning of December. My brother Bridger baptized him. 

My Dad confirmed him

This is a terribly unflattering photo of me, and Crew is not happy at all. But here is proof that we were there. 

Jon was working on his computer and Crew just climbed right up on his lap for a snuggle. 

We went to Temple Square to see the lights a few days before Christmas. I really wanted Crew to see all the pretty lights and colors and nativities and hoped he would feel something magical and happy but he was cranky as could be the whole evening. Oh well, maybe we will have better luck next year?

Just making messes in the playroom

I love when he stops playing toys to pick up a book and read to himself

More ways we've been getting creative with the miserable weather outside. We brought some sand inside from the playground. Now he gets to play with his trucks, and he and I aren't miserable in the cold!

Making cookies for Santa on Christmas Eve! It was a fun new tradition for us, even if Crew didn't really understand completely why we were doing it.

Santa Came!

On Christmas Eve, Crew and his cousin accidentally butted heads and his cousin's tooth hit his eye. It was all bruised up and cut for the next week. 

Another sleeping pic. Many times I will take these and text them to Jon and Jon will respond with what Crew was most likely thinking in that moment. I'm pretty sure for this one, Jon said something like "Everyone stop talking so I can get some sleep! You are too noisy!"

Doing the dishes with Daddy

More reading. I love how he loves books!

Last but not least, our new annual laser tag game around New Years. This was on New Years Eve. Such a fun tradition!
