Sewing Projects/Random Pictures

Adelaide ready for church in a coat Grandma Jan made her two years ago- it was a 2T and it just fits her now.

Brandon and I before church- Adelaide wanted to play photographer.

Adelaide being a goof.

Davis hiding in his fort of pillows.

Emma with a macaroni and cheese face.

Blanket I made for Adelaide. It has the nubby fabric on the back so it is super cozy.

She picked out the fabric- so I can't help that it looks like a newborn blanket. She loves it so it doesn't matter.

A baby towel I made for Brandon's friend at school.

Baby toy that I made for our friend.

Chistmas/Birthday/New Year Celebration

Adelaide's cake the Aunt Tay made her. Such a cute purse cake- Adelaide loved it.

Great Grandma and Davis laughing at who knows what- I get a kick out of this picture.

Davis and Emma hanging out.

Adelaide taking a whack at the pinata.

The kids and cousin taking a bath.

Brandon trying to entertain the little kids. I don't know that they ever got the hang of the game.

Emma with her pony from Grandma.

Adelaide and her zoo zoo pet from "Red" Grandma.

All of the girls sporting the aprons I made them for Christmas- they turned out alright for my first attempt at sewing.

Christmas Eve/Temple Square

Emma and mom on the front runner. We had dinner at Emilie's house before we left- she made a yummy veggie cheese soup and Yao made a beef spicy soup.

All of us at Temple Square. It was cold so we went to the Joseph Smith Cafe and got hot chocolate to warm up.

Yao and Davis on the front runner. After we went to Temple Square we went to get chinese food at 10:30 p.m. It was really good food and we had a fun time.

The Nutcracker

We went to the Nutcracker again this year. Adelaide loved it so much last year that we had to go again. She talked about going again all year. Aunt Emi came and we had a fun time.

Mom and Addie before the show.

Emilie and Adelaide waiting for the show to start. Adelaide got restless towards the end and was trying to imitate the dancers in the aisle.

Christmas early in Alaska

Davis sporting his new sweater from Auntie Sarah. Santa got Davis a basketball hoop thing where you can race each other(it is in the background). He was pretty excited.

Brandon and Davis after opening all of his presents.

Emma got a tricycle. She doesn't know how to ride it but she wanted to try.

Adelaide in her new dress for the Nutcracker sitting in her chair from Santa. She was disappointed she didn't get Emma's santa present. Santa brought Emma a rocking horse that makes sounds and waggs its tail. We had a very nice Christmas before we went to Utah.

Adelaide's Christmas Dance Recital

Adelaide looks forward to her recitals all semester. She loves being on stage and performing. Which is funny because she is shy talking to people and interacting that way but I guess she feels at home on the stage.

Playing with her friend before the big show.

She was pretty funny to watch- she got out of line a bit and then was behind a girl so she shuved her way to the front where everyone could see her. She let me do her hair and she thought she looked like a ballerina. She sure is beautiful.

Thanksgiving/B-day Party

Craft that Davis made in school. Gobble Gobble.

Cousins eating dinner.

Adelaide trying to take a picture of the grown-ups.

Waiting for her friends to arrive at her pizza birthday party.

My attempt at a free-hand jewelry box cake. She loved it so why do I care?
