December Photo Dump

Outside the mall parking lot "Mom, take a picture of me!"

Snuggle time with baby Nellie.

Enjoying a nice long outdoor run in the 70 degree temps.

I went with my mom to her Texas Fit Chicks Boot Camp class while we were there and it was awesome! I love bonding with people through exercise. I was sore a lot.

We took family pictures for my mom's side of the family and the kiddos had fun rockin' out in the back of Pop's truck to some Disney tunes.

This was the kids gift exchange game later that night.

Brooklyn got a couple matching games for Christmas and she really likes playing and it's a game I don't mind playing as well so win/win.

It was so warm that the kids were out riding bikes and eating popsicles one day.

This was one of the dress up clothes I use to play in when I was Brooklyn's age at my Grandma Clement's house.

Bea took pics of the cousins in their cute Christmas outfits.

Love those dimples.  She's still my baby girl!

 I won an iFIT fitness tracker from Instagram! I just liked and commented on a post and won! So exciting because I've been wanting a step counter but not wanting to pay for one.  It's been so motivating to be more active throughout the day.

 This cute girl and her sister come over a few times a week after school while their mom works. They are so fun to have around.  It was her birthday so Brooklyn and I put up a sign, bought a little gift, and made some treats to celebrate with her.

 She loves her "gloss" as she calls them.

 Our ward had a Christmas breakfast and all the primary kids got up to sing and while they are singing I realize I can't find Brooklyn. Lo and behold she is up their singing with them (she wasn't in primary yet at the time).  She was pretty proud of herself.

 Brooklyn likes to snap pics of us from time to time.

 Brooklyn had lots of chances to sit on Santa's lap this year but was not interested and we were planning on waiting til she could go with her cousins in Texas. One day when picking up a prescription at Walmart Thomas and Brooklyn walked past the garden center where there was a Santa and no line of kids.  The Santa convinced her to come over and we were able to get a picture.  This is so her around adults.

 The Springville Art Museum did a fun Santa night where they had Christmas crafts and milk and cookies for free.

Top Golf

One of the fun activities we did with my family while in Texas was go to Top Golf.  It's a driving range where you can play on teams kind of like bowling and it keeps track of how many points based on where you hit the golf ball.  Super fun! We ordered lunch there and then afterwards got some frozen custard.

Temple Square Lights

This was Thomas and Brooklyn's first time seeing the Christmas lights at Temple Square.  It was cold and very crowded so we kind of did a quick run through and then went to find a nice hot supper someplace that wasn't packed and found a quiet little bistro where we were the only customers.

Snow Day

We have the perfect little sledding hill between our house and the neighbors and when most kids are in school we get the hill to ourselves during the day.

Santa Run

Thomas and I got to do the Santa Run in Provo.  Everyone is given a Santa costume to run in and at the end there are milk and cookies to enjoy.  It was so funny seeing all these people walk around the race area in the same suit.  Kind of like Where's Waldo, Santa version.
