December

To sum up December is Christmas ... obviously. There are a few random pics in here, but overall, this post is just Christmas festivities.

Having a "pizza party" while dad puts up the tree.

Brody demonstrating his latest trick.

Marley taking a stab at the splits.

Still putting the tree up.

The kids decorating Christmas cookies ... the tree is probably getting lit right about now.

Reading scriptures one evening ... I guess Dannon thought I looked pretty fluffy/comfortable.

Surprise visit from Santa one evening.

Riding on the Akers train in Dovewood Court for FHE.

We had our very own Christmas Eve dinner.

The settings on the camera got messed up some how, so this is the only picture that turned out at the Ripples house on Christmas Eve.

The kids got to open a present early. Brody said "I don't want it if it's pajamas."

Leaving treats for Santa ... in their new pajamas.

Christmas morning ... about ready to break through the wrapping paper wall.

The kids had so much fun buying each other presents this year.

That aftermath.

Woops ... we forgot to move Santa Christmas morning ... still it was shocking how quickly Santa moved along.

At Grandma & Grandpa's Christmas day ...

It was an exhausting couple of days.

We had a little photo shoot with Gage ... these are just a few of many.

Game time.
