Loved being with the boys at school today. It's so fun to watch them interact with the kids and their teachers. I am so impressed with their behavior (as are their teachers) and am proud to be their mama.

Violin lessons turned into Music Mind Games this week for Dane! I love Will's profile and had to include it in the shot. He had just finished his lesson and was invited to play, but chose to watch.

Go Will!

He played beautifully at his Christmas Concert and so did Jessa!

We had a goodbye party for Addie the night before she left for her mission to Rancagua, Chile. We wanted to have her last night home be something special and full of love, so we made her favorite food (turkey chili!), decorated to the hilt (thanks mom!) and had her favorite people here. We are excited for her and know she will be a fantastic missionary.

Jonah was so brave getting a tooth pulled today at Uncle John's office. The best part was that Grandma Roselyn was also there getting her teeth taken care of! We got to see her and snuggle her for a minute. She is such a sweet and strong soul. I am so thankful for her influence on me and my children. What an amazing woman full of compassion and strength.

Will has always loved to decorate for every holiday. I can count on his help no matter the season. Here he is hanging the 5th of 7 stockings. He put them in order by age from Kevin all the way down to Sophie. Love his sweet little heart.

Since we were out of town over the holiday, we had a traditional Thanksgiving dinner on Sunday!
