Gingerbread house party

 We had the whole Wing family over to decorate Gingerbread houses and it was super fun. We decided to use rice krispies instead because lets face it, no one likes gingerbread and rice krispies are much much easier to shape.  People got really cleave with their shaping. We had a wreath, a snowman, an igloo, a house, the arch from France, and Holden's graham cracker teepee! We had a lot of fun and it was great to have everyone in our home. We missed Dan and Emily this time because they were in Disneyland again. poor them right?!

Snow Day

On Saturday December 15, we had enough snow to build snowmen and we decided that it was time to show Kesley the snow. We had a great time and I think for the most part, if we kept the snow out of her face, Kelsey loved the snow. However she was not really a fan of her coat and warm gear. We put her in the snow and she fell over and then tried to roll over, and then started crying and we couldn't help but laugh. It reminded of us Ralphie's little brother on a Christmas Story. It was hilarious

 

 Ralphie! RALPHIE!!!

Solids!!

 We started food on December 5th and she loves it!

 These are most of the babies Kesley's age in the ward! They will play like this for so long. Like 45 min

 Kelsey also loves no one more than herself :)

A Quarter Century

Yesterday was my birthday and I turned 25! I love my birthday and this year did not disappoint.
In the morning, Ethan stayed home from basketball so that I could go on a run WITHOUT the stroller. I never realized how easy running up hills was when you do not have to push 30 lbs!In the afternoon all my ward buddies came over and they brought their kids. There were about 7 babies all within 2 months of each other. We threw dominoes in the middle of the floor and sat them all around them. They all just talked and laughed at each other while they shared dominoes. It was so cute. That night Ethan and I went out to Red Robin while my friend watched Kelsey and then we had cake and presents. It was a great day. I received so many nice cards, calls, and texts from friends and family. I do have to say though, that I do not feel any olde, but when I say 25 it kinda scares me how that sounds! Over a great day and now we are that much closer to Christmas!

Nephi

 Ethan was asked to play Nephi in the ward primary activity. It was hilarious. The whole room had people dressed as Book of Mormon characters, the middle had Lehi's tent where breakfast was served, Samuel the Laminate was in one corner, Captain Moroni, Mormon abridging the plates, and then Nephi shooting his bow. I obviously thought Nephi was the cutest and so I got a lot of pictures of Nephi.

December

So far December has been everything that we would have wanted it to be. Cookie parties, Christmas movies, a little bit of snow (could do with some more) a tree festival, gift shopping and Christmas decorating. It is only the 11th, but it has been great so far! Slow down December!  You're going too fast!
