Final Montage for 2015

Some photos from the final weeks of 2015 that were too good to leave out:

Paula has been choosing entirely weather-inappropriate clothes to wear each day. She will have nothing to do with pants and long sleeves most of the time.

Rock Star Mika

Walking home from preschool with Mika is always a treat. She is smiley, sings to herself, and has a happy spring in her step.

 Paula likes the walk, too.

In early December, Forest took two of the girls to the Timnath Tree Lighting Festival. We were supposed to go as a whole family, but vomit got the best of me so I stayed home with Paula.

The girls did crafts, went on a carriage ride, and posed in a photo booth with Daddy.

We watched a lot of Star Wars and played with lots of Star Wars PEZ dispensers

An underwhelming photo with Santa (Paula wanted nothing to do with this guy):

This winter has been a snowy one

Paula's favorite outfit: Pink stripes and pink plaid

Mika's Preschool Party and book exchange:

"Jingle Bells"

Ramona's first grade party (I was in charge of Rudolf):

 "Gingerbread" polar express trains the girls got to bring home:

Mika had the best method for eating the candy off of them:

A little holiday cello party we hosted at our house:

Paca time:

I think this was the 17-week baby bump

Our family made it to the Denver Temple after Christmas, but the nativity display was still up:

More Paca time, + pizza:

Paula wouldn't take a single bite, but then started wolfing it down at the very end. It was probably her best meal in several days.

The girls playing restaurant with Paca:

New Years Eve (Thank you Windsor Library for the crafts and festivities!):

Balloon drop at noon:

Paula kept saying the sounds from the popping balloons were "scary."

At home, the girls got the rare privilege of making their own confetti and strewing it around the family room. Multiple times.

They also got to clink some glasses of sparkling cider, eat cake, and stay up until 10pm.

So long, 2015!
