Arabelle in a cute Christmas outfit:

I bought this garland scotty dog at a thrift store last year and imagined the kids thinking it was funny, but somehow I never pictured them deciding to ride it like a horse. I had it on the front porch, but eventually had to move it inside because Jeffrey kept getting upset that it was left out there.


He calls it "Bull's Eye" after Woody's horse in Toy Story.


We had a ton of Christmas presents to mail last week, and I had to get creative to figure out how to get a 3-year-old, a baby, and several trips worth of packages into the post office.

Ward Christmas Party: (Sadly, I didn't get a picture of Arabelle, who was also dressed for the occasion.)

Before the Christmas Parade:

I had high hopes for a cute picture of the two of them in front of the Christmas tree, but Arabelle was tired and Jeffrey wasn't cooperating, and this was the best we got:

Jeffrey hogging the spotlight:

Someone on a float gave Arabelle this bunny, but apparently it wasn't enough to lift her spirits. One can't help but notice the resemblance:

Eating candy from the parade:

Thanks for the bells, mom! Both kids have really been enjoying them.

And here are just some random pictures taken in the last couple of weeks:

Shortly after this picture was taken Jeffrey did of course say "baby out!" but it was cute while it lasted!
