December!

December has been a busy month for the Elwell's. I'm sure your has too. It's catch up time of just a few of the things we did.

Brooke is being silly by the newly decorated tree.
Shaylyn(my niece) was baptized on December 11th. She was excited and well prepared for the day!

We got our Christmas tree a little late since we were in San Diego and believe it or not, it is still up as of today.(the 27th) I usually take it down the day after. Maybe because we didn't get it the day after Thanksgiving like normal so I am not tired of it yet....or I just don't have the energy to pack everything up. Such a pain!

We all went over to the Grendell's for our 5th annual cookie decorating party. It was fun for the kids and they made some great cookies.(except Connor..he made a cookie that looked liked it had been puked on.)

Brooke and Andrew. I told Andrew to put his arm around Brooke and he blushed. It was so cute!:)

We went ice skating with the Todd family. It was fun but a lot of work. It was hard to keep myself up and Brooke need help staying up too.

Kaylee and her BFF Ashley!

Cierra and Fawnie

Jessica and Fawnie

Kaylee had an orchestra concert at Stahl. She did very well. It is amazing how good she is getting and she really enjoys it too. What a beautiful girl she is.

Grandma and Grandpa came to watch too along with her dad and Stacy.

Sean and I went to Bellevue for a night and it was simply amazing. It really was the best time we have had in a long time. I loved EVERY minute of it! Happy Anniversary to us!:)

We went to Gold Cinemas where you can watch a movie in comfort. The food was great and I was so comfy watching the movie. We saw the Little Fockers. It was cute.

Christmas Eve in new jammies. The kids were all excited and ready for Santa to come. We spent the night at Grandma and Grandpas like always and enjoyed yummy food, great company and lots and lots of presents.

Waiting for Santa! (The believers)

coming downstairs to check out the loot!

and plenty of loot there was!

If you don't already know, Kaylee is a major Justin Beiber fan and she loved this of course. I hate it! It has already scared my about 10 times as I go into her room. Will I ever get use to it? probably not. (it is a full size cardboard cut out and it looks surprisingly real)

Hope you all had a Merry Christmas! I am looking forward to the new year where I have already set some pretty big New Years resolutions and I am excited to accomplish them. Bring on 2011!
