The kids playing with Christmas gifts. Do you see that little hiney crawling away?

This is what I do.
I take pictures. This blog is a way for me to capture the every day moments in this season of my life before it becomes too foggy in my memory for me to recall. This is a tangible reminder of what my life was like, what we did, what was important to us, how we spent our days. These are the every day matters, because to me, every day matters.

This is how Ansley likes to keep Avery entertained these days: pushing her around in this toy cart, with some toys and a pillow to keep her happy. The whole house is filled with giggling and squealing!

She is definitely on the move. She was a little behind, but once she figured it out she hasn't slowed down. Now she's crawling after the kids, the Mama, the kitty, or toys. It's cute, but it sure is busy!

A fun, comfy, relaxing day enjoying new gifts, being with family and celebrating together.
December 24, 2011 Part I
We continued our annual tradition of going ice skating in Market Square downtown. JonJon, Missy, Ansley, Christian and I all ice skated. Christian did better this year, and went around quite a few times. Ansley is getting really good, and the three of us would skate around the rink pretty well. It's a fun tradition!
December 24, 2011 Part II
The kids in their new pj's all ready for bed. When they were younger I could get away with cute Christmas pj's that I liked, but nowadays I have to go with what I know they will wear. Ansley got kitty cat pj's, Christian got Star Wars pj's and Avery did get cute Christmas pj's. Sweet!

This is what happens when the kids compete for Avery's attention. They were both trying to make her laugh!

Ansley lost her seventh tooth today. She is pretty much a pro now - she's been wiggling it for a few days, getting it just right, then her Daddy pulls it out, and she's happy and excited!

My kids love to bake cookies, what can I say? They have been asking and asking for me to make sugar cookies so they could decorate them, so that's what we did today. I thought they would lose steam after a few cookies, but they kept right on decorating until the very end!

I love getting Christmas cards and enjoying all the photos and letters. We display them in our kitchen so we can see them all the time.
(And yes, it's possible that I'm struggling in these last few days of 2011 to remember to take a picture. So then at the end of the day I'm scrambling.)
