Christmas

First and Second Picture: Sara got her own violin for Christmas. She has tried to sneak out the girls' violins hundreds of times the last couple of years. She asked Santa for one and loves it. She is a little different than the first three. She unwrapped the gifts in her stocking first this morning and was most excited by the orange. She tried to bounce it on the floor and then wanted to play catch with her Dad. Her favorite toys were a model car from Abby and some matchbox cars. She played with them the entire day. She still has some girl in her though because she was telling me that the big one is a mommy car like me and the little one is the baby car like her.

Third Picture: Six a.m. excitement. I don't think that they really wanted to pose for pictures before opening their gifts.
Last Picture: Rob wanted to have proof that I did make Christmas trees this year. Thanks Rob!

Time Out

I don't remember why, but Rob put the girls in time out yesterday. Then he took this picture of them sitting on their bench. I think that his message was really getting through to them....

Phoenix Zoo

On Tuesday, Elisa and I took the girls to the zoo after violin lessons. We had a great time. Elisa and the girls rode around the zoo as fast as they could on this bike thing and I chased them pushing an empty stroller. It was a lot of fun and great exercise. Hopefully you can see that Liz is now missing two front teeth. Rob pulled her other front tooth out Monday night. It was loose, and she just had to sing "All I want for Christmas is...." this year. Perfect timing. Thanks Elisa!

Christmas Dresses

I took these photos on Sunday of the girls in their Christmas Dresses. I took about 30 pictures trying to get them to look at me and smile at the same time, but these are as good as I can get. They are my beautiful little girls.

Sara and Will

Mom emailed me this photo of Sara and her new cousin Will. It looks like he is smiling, and he is only a few days old.

Ward Party

Elizabeth lost her first tooth last Saturday. She was pretty excited. These pictures were taken at the ward party that night. Abby is holding Matthew Wright, our friend's son.
