December just flew by. Here are just a few of the many things that we did in the month of December. 
This is us at temple square. This was a really fun family trip. Both the kids loved looking at the lights.
There were two trips to the mall and one trip to Brian's work to sit on Santa's lap. This is a picture at Brian's work. She ate the Santa thing up. We would use the phrase, "Santa's elves are watching you," many times throughout the month. We caught her peeking out the window quite a few times trying to see the elves.
We took the kids sledding at John Adam's Park. It was a lot of fun. Adin hates being cold so I sat in the car with him for most of the time, but we had to bribe Meg to get her to go home.
The pictures are from Christmas. Meg was soooo excited. Adin was more concerned with climbing and exploring (as usual). The highlight of the day was Santa eating the cookies. We set a cookie and a glass of milk outside her door at night. We told her that Santa would check her to make sure she was sleeping and would probably be hungry too. I told her that if she woke up and cookie was gone then he had come and if not then he hadn't come. Bright and early at 6:30 she came running down to our room. "Santa at the cookie." She was screaming this over and over and jumping up and down. Her excited voice in engrained in my memory. She had to run upstairs and bring down the empty plate and glass to show everyone before she was willing to start opening presents. It was so cute. I think that this Christmas was the best Christmas that I have ever had. Meg's excitement was contagious and nothing makes me happier than seeing my family happy.
Now we are on to the new year. Right now our thoughts are completely focused on getting our Graduate School applications in. They all have to be in on the 15th. Yikes! Adin is such a ham right now. Anytime he sees me holding the camera he says cheese or "eeeese" and gives us this totaly cheeser. It is so cute. It is making for tons of really cute pictures of him. I guess now is the time that I should take him to get pictures done.

I'm so glad your christmas went well. WE missed seeing you guys! We need to visit. Meg and Adin are so cute. I could just eat Adin up- he reminds me a lot of Tyler and what a smiley, happy toddler he was at that age.
