Its begining to look alot like Christmas...


It is beginning to look alot like Christmas at our house! We put up our tree the other day. Dan tried to make me decorate it by myself but eventually he gave into helping. Lana "helped" too. (and by "helped"... I mean watched and interrupted)

Dan and I both like to leave the tree up as long as possible. Although, I think he is a bit extreme..he thinks March is OK....I think if it is February it's time to go.


Life is a little crazy right now. I am fighting for time to do anything (including this). Honestly, I feel a little overwhelmed. There is just so much to do. I have to take care of Lana (and try to make sure I am still paying attention to her outside of when she is demanding it) and try and get this apartment manager thing figured out. I think it will be OK when we get everything to how it is suppose to be. Right now there is just so much that is run down and there are so many apartments I have to get ready for new tenants.

I am getting excited to go to Virginia for Christmas! We get to be with Daniel's family and go to New York! I am so excited for that. My brother Michael is on his mission in New Jersey and his mission president said we could take him out for dinner! yea! I haven't seen him in about a year and half. He is a wonderful missionary. I am so proud of him. I guess he wouldn't really know that since I am not a very consistent writer....gosh, I'm a bad sister.
Make sure you notice who is on the ornament in the pic above!


I am in the stake Christmas chior. We are singing some basic Christmas songs and then lots of songs from Handel's Messiah. So, the chior sounds really good....on most parts. One of my pet peeves about chior directors is when they choose music too hard for the chior. It would be so much better if we just sang a cantata written for the "stake chior level". I think that people would be able to feel the spirit much more easily.
Lana is so dang cute these days. She has just started, in the last week, to army crawl. She can basically get whatever she wants....slowly. She also sits up really well. She has been sitting up for a while now but she was really unsteady. Now she's a super sitter!
Thats all I have time for now. I think everyone should pray for more hours in the day. That would make my life easier.

I think you REALLY need to go into photography. I would drive the way to Seattle to have you take pictures of my babies.(that is where you are, right? only 5 hours away from me, by the way)
