December

Hannah's favorite thing is to pull all the Ziploc bags out of the box. one.by.one. Coincidentally, it's the only cabinet with no child locks. I can usually catch her in time, but sometimes I just let her do it so I can fix dinner. Got tooth #4. Started walking! Loves string cheese. Goes down for naps and bedtime without a sound! We read 2 books, sing 2 songs, then lay her down and she goes right to sleep. We're so happy! Shakes her head "no" when she knows she's not supposed to be doing something. Turned 13 months on Christmas. Would not sit on Santa's lap even though it was Grandpa. I got sick before Christmas and it lasted a good two weeks. I was negative for Strep and couldn't stop coughing. Something nasty was going around.

^^decorated gingerbread men at the library^

^^put together her 1st year-book. love how it turned out^^

^I won a nook at Ryan's work party and he got to drive a sweet car (perks of the job)^^

^It was very refreshing to visit the temple lights and not be freezing! We love it here^

^^Ryan was putting Hannah to bed and broke our chair. He texted me "Chair just broke! I'm stuck in the reclined position!"

Went to UT for Christmas. Went to Alyssa's bridal shower^^

^^she loved these zip ties^^

^^Christmas morning with the Everett's^^

^^my brother and his family were visiting from Seattle. It was so nice to spend a few days with them.^^

^^Alyssa and Garrett got married on the 28th in the Brigham City Temple. It was freezing, but she looked gorgeous! They had a luncheon at The Lodge afterwards. Amazing food!^^

^^Hannah surprised us all and slept for a good 30 minutes on the flight home^^

I can't believe the new year is already here, and I'm sure this year will fly by as well.

On New Year's Day we visited my sister who is due with boy #3 anytime. My dad got a hold of my phone while we were playing games and took these pictures.
