Christmas Fun

Juliet has been having a lot of fun with Christmas decorating and other Christmas festivities. When we pulled out the decorations she was very helpful in untangling the lights and unwrapping all the ornaments and putting them on the tree. Every day since our initial tree decorating she has rearranged or simply removed the ornaments on the lower part of the tree. Luckily, they are mostly pine cones we found on the playground and put glitter on last Christmas. She also had fun wearing the tree skirt as a cape. She twirled and ran around the living room with it before we put it under the tree.

We tried making gingerbread houses with peaked roofs, but our frosting was not working with us, so we ended up making pueblos instead :)

Once Juliet discovered we could eat the graham crackers and the frosting, she went to town with the red frosting.

We also made some sugar cookies. Juliet loved using the cookie cutters. She has been practicing for months with her playdoh.

Juliet met Santa! She was very excited to see Santa.

Before Aunt Kendahl went into the MTC we took her to Temple Square to see the lights.

Celeste

Celeste will be 1 month old tomorrow. It is hard to believe a month has already passed! Celeste is growing tons, and Juliet is still as happy as can be being a big sister. Juliet does a great job with Celeste, and she is always quick to help. She likes to get a diaper and wipes whenever I mention Celeste needs a diaper change, and she also likes to choose outfits for Celeste. My favorite is when Juliet asks if she can give Celeste a kiss on her head, because then I get to watch my cute little 2 year old tenderly kiss her little sister. How blessed we are to have two wonderful girls!

Celeste - 4 wks old!
