We started out the month with the birth of my newest niece, Winnie. She was born on Skippy's birthday, the 3rd and weighed in at a hefty 10lbs, 12oz! Big fat cute baby! Thorey knows how to grow those big babies!
Then, we celebrated Skip's birthday at his parents' house. I made him the hershey's chocolate cake... SO GOOD! It's the recipe on the back of the cocoa powder- the best!
Grandma and Grandpa took the kids to ride ponies and pet goats
Thyssen's favorite part of the whole thing was the washing station.
Thyssen turned 3! He had his first real little kid birthday party.
I thought this was a cute pic of Mandy and Penny.. showing off thier cute hair clips.
All the party kids.
We celebarted on his actual birthday at ChuckECheeses. The Presleys came along, but I wasn't very good at getting pics that day!
We've (meaning Skippy) have been working on the backyard, getting it all pretty.
It was hot enough to go to the beach!
hung out with the Schulzes at Dland
got to be apart of lifting some spirits...
Gina fell asleep in the high chair for the first time.
Skippy tried his best at eating 5lbs of burger and fries...
Doing good in the beginning...
almost half way...
he did amazing! He said the grease from the meat was getting to him.
Some of the spectaters...
What was left over... had he finished all of this he would've gotten the glory of a pic on the wall, a tshirt, and his meal for free. Instead, he had to pay $17 to feel REALLY sick.

Daddies and boys in line for Buzz
Belen did her second month of ballet.... she wants to try tap next. 
Grandpa and Grandma came over and trimmed up the yard. You can see Grandpa way up in the tree.. he's got the tree climbing skills of a 13 year old- remarkable.
Belen fed her demonic baby alive some "food". That doll is seriously so disturbing.
Yes.. we did Dland for the 3rd time when Jill came to town. That little Hannah showed my kids a great time!
Gina started sitting in the stroller like a big girl.
We caught the tail end of snow day at the park with Shannon.
I got a really great laughing shot of Gina
And... the grand finale..... Gina is big enough for Belen to hold her in the tub so I can get all 3 of them at once!! Yay!... and I love how aweful this pic is... it's a new fav of mine!
We also went to Maggie's fabulous 1st Bday party... but of course I forgot my camera- you'll have to check Trena's blog for pics :)
Belen and Thyssen discovered our lemon tree in the backyard. We made lemonaid and of course Belen wanted to sell it. She made $2.70 from the neighbor across the street! 
Thyssen got a new hairdo ala Skippy
It rained and rained and rained! 
Thanks Julie and Regan for the fun rain gear!
Belen was a horse in the Nativiy scene for our ward party.. I made her headband- she was a pink flashy horse.
Gina was Blessed at the beginning of the month
The Gang at Buca
Ricky and Shannon had a personal invite from Belen...
Gina turned 3 mos. on Dec. 3rd
Nonni, Papa and Mama took Belen to see Suessical the Musical for her birthday
We went to our neighbor's Christmas Ice Skating Party.. Belen didn't get off the ice for 2 hours straight- not even for hot chocolate and cookies..
oops... sideways pic! At Dland in front of the big Christmas tree
At the school across the street from Skip's parents... I have no idea what they are talking about, but Gina and Skippy look cute.
