It's that time of year again... and I love it!!!

We took our annual trip to see the lights at Temple Square. This sure is becoming one of my kids favorite traditions.

Nobody would stay still long enough to get a good picture. Oh well.

This hotel has the funnest swimming pool and it even has a water slide.

This little rascal turned 9 months. she loves animals, daddy and playing peek a boo. Unfortunately she has had 4 ear infections in the past two months. So she will be getting tubes in Jan. She weighed 16.1 lbs at her 9 month check and was in the 8 percentile but I'm sure we'll catch up. Mine don't stay little for too long. She is an expert crawler now and pulls herself up to standing. It's hard to believe she will be walking soon.

And lastly my family has had a fun tradition since I was little. On New Year's Eve the kids leave out their Christmas socks and Jack Frost comes. He is one of Santa's tricky elves. He tries to trick them and fills their stockings with newspaper and other things like that and at the bottom is a treat or small toy. This year I made these because I thought they were so cute. It says ... You've been bad so here's the scoop all you get is snowman poop. I thought my kids would get a laugh out of that. Along with the fake candy coal we may leave them a couple dollars.
