The Latest and Greatest - December Moments

We are so excited that Jarekah has finally entered the world of walking. She has been walking along furniture and with toys for several months, but would not walk without assistance. Eric finally figured out that if we bribe her with something she wants, she will walk!

Eric bribed her with little pieces of a ham I cooked for dinner.

She is really walking now! We didn't even have to bribe her to walk.

Here are some fun photos to capture the month:

We took Jarekah to the picture studio...our little Santa Baby!

Our three girls at home on Christmas morning. Eric and I were so excited we had all of them together.

Taylor and Madison goofing around on Christmas morning.

Jarekah loved unwrapping her gifts. She was so careful and cute about it. She averaged about 10 minutes per present opening them, until Eric "helped" her.

We went to Eric's Dad and Stepmother's house first...Taylor got playing cards among other things.

Eric's Dad and Stepmother found the cutest dinnerwear sets for the girls. The plates have children saying "Merry Christmas" in different languages from around the world.

Madison is showing Jarekah the plate with all the children and the different languages.

Next we went to Eric's Mom, Carol's, house. Carol bought the girls so many things!

Carol has a room dedicated to grandchildren that is full of toys. Jarekah loves the kitchen the most.

Jarekah loves to ride the horsey at Gramma Carol's house.

Next we went to Uncle Jarek's house. Jarekah loves her best buddy, Uncle Jarek! It was so cute...she was so excited to see him.

Next we went to my parents' house in Astoria. Jarekah loves opening presents!

Jarekah can pretty much feed herself now. This is Christmas dinner in Astoria.

More unwrapping at Grampa Ron and Gramma Michelle's house. Scouty was there too!

Finn and Judah are opening presents that Gramma Michelle is handing out.

Kendra, Matt and baby Paisley are surrounded!

This picture was taken when the snow first hit. We got Jarekah all dressed for the snow and adventured out. As you can see from the picture, Jarekah was a little annoyed with us!

Our snow baby!


Taylor loved playing in the snow
