Doesn't she look adorable?

Happy Birthday L!

A week after his birthday, Loofa is already working on his list for next year.  At least he can write it himself.  J was trying to tell him that it is not worth it to write it now since his likes will have changed in a year, but he can't be dissuaded.

I have to confess that I almost spaced getting birthday presents this year, I was so wrapped up in getting ready for Christmas.  Thankfully, Loofa's list was long enough for about 10 children's wishes so it wasn't hard to find stuff he'd like and quickly.  The green machine was a big hit, except for the fact that Loofa appears to be taking after the short side of the family.  Hopefully he will be big enough for it this summer.  Till then, Brother B has been enjoying using it.  So much so, that he has decided to save up his money for his own green machine.

The outfit is for Taekwon do.  The boys have been taking it for about a month.

Loofa chose Chuck E Cheese for his bday party.  He loves his best friend too.

Christmas 2011

We went straight from getting settled in the new home to the very busy Christmas season.  For all it's craziness it was definitely filled with some priceless gems.

Doesn't get much better than preschool performances.

The boys had varying degrees of excitement about their performance.  I will say, it was very refreshing to experience Christmas at a school that could care less about being politically correct.

 The annual Nelson White Elephant party is always a blast. J definitely shines.

Fefe was a sheep in our ward Nativity play this year.  My friend did an amazing job on the costumes!

Santa is telling Fefe to be careful, she is very close to being on the naughty list.

Loofa had a very long list to tell Santa.

In order from left to right: Ephant, Loofa, Fefe, and Brother B.

Christmas morning was a success!
