December

First of all, here are two random pictures of Corinne.  One of her being a goof, the other of her preschool friends all trying to sit on the teacher's lap at story time.
    

   
Ryan and I celebrated our 38th birthdays!  We made a very wise decision to get an Oreo ice cream cake.  It didn't last very long, unfortunately.
   

   
We did the proper thing this year, and went out and bought a real Christmas tree.  After a short debate about whether we should drive an hour to a tree farm or go five minutes away to the hardware store, we chose the hardware store.  It was still a good tree, though!  Afterwards we went out for frozen yogurt.
    

  
We finally got back the photos from Picture Day at taekwondo.  We're very well protected around here!
  

  

Our Primary was asked to do the Nativity play again this year for the ward Christmas Party.  It took several rehearsals and tons of work, especially by my theater-expert friend Danni, but it turned out so great.  Connor got to be a wise man, Elise an angel, and Evan a sheep.

Waiting for the Big Kids to Finish

Thanks to Nana and Al for the Christmas Party Dress!

   

I was surprised nobody died cleaning up.

  
The kids put together their own short Nativity program in the garage one afternoon.  I think it was when they were supposed to be working on schoolwork, but whatever.  It was very cute.
