Wow, I have not even thought about blogging for a while! Time to catch up. It's been a busy month so far, but fun. Here is Richard raking our leaves. We don't have any trees in our yard so they've blown over from somewhere. Isn't it a great pile? (I'm being sarcastic.) The kids still had fun!
We celebrated Ethan's 8th birthday with taking him and his friends to Jump On It (the day after his birthday) which they loved. And we had cake and ice cream at the house afterwards.
I held a Christmas recital on the 5th for my piano students which turned out really nice. But boy, it's been a while since I've actually played a solo in front of anyone. Slightly nerve racking! I think the actual recital hall was a bit intimidating for my students but definitely good experience, right? Ethan even played a few songs. I was so proud of him!
Ethan was baptized on the 6th, (after his birthday party with his friends). It's so strange to think Richard and I are old enough to have an 8 year old now! But, it was so special to see him baptized. He was excited and maybe a bit nervous. 
Ethan sure has had a big and busy month! In fact, the birthday, recital and baptism all happened in about a 24 hour period. It's starting to calm down a bit. At least for this week anyway. Now all the practicing and performing I've been doing with piano is done, I can actually focus on my house, kids and shopping! I helped out with a ward Christmas musical fireside on Sunday night and it was the first time I actually started to feel the Christmas spirit. Today, it hit me a bit more with the snow and the fact that I could go shopping. The kids and I decorated a gingerbread house tonight and listened to Christmas music. I do love this time of year!

Sounds like you've been busy. I was in shock when Madalyn turned eight last year too, but now nine sounds so old to me. I guess it's just kind of like that with your oldest child. I wish we lived closer so you could teach my kids piano too, piano teachers are hard to come by in these parts:)
I don 't believe that Ethan is 8. I really don't believe it! Wow.
Hey Kimberly, our address is 884 W. 1020 S. Provo 84601. You look like you've been busy, but what fun. We brought the game with us to Texas and are actually going to play it tonight. I'll let you know how it goes. Merry Christmas.
I love your children! What is your secret to having such good and gorgeous children?!
Hey there,
Thanks for the Christmas card! You're all so darned photogenic!
