Stitches take 2

Flashback almost 2 years ago, to Jan 9, 2009. William stumbled going up the stairs @ McDonald's play place and needed stitches.
Now Flash forward to today, December 15, 2010. William was running around during recess when he stumbled and hit his face on the stairs of the slide.

Yep, stitches. In the EXACT same spot! The poor kid needs to stay away from stairs while on a playground, or play area! The scars Meet at the exact same spot on his lip, making one long scar. Kinda funny and ironic. Luckily Brian was home for lunch and was able to take him back to the clinic and help get him all stitched up.

Talk about wild weather!?!

We had a blizzard in November.... and now it is December and we have green grass and sunshine......... lots of warm sunshine. I don't know what the official high was yesterday, but our van temp at noon said it was 56 degrees!
I enjoyed it...... the kids enjoyed it.............. and as you can see, the neighborhood enjoyed it.

Momo especially enjoyed it. No jacket! Morgan HATES having to wear coats and jackets and yetserday, it was okay.


And today it is pouring rain...... And we are ready for snow again.

Santa

Santa stopped by our ward party and the kids were thrilled. I thought for sure Mo would bail but the jingle bells and the prospect of getting a candy cane were too hard to resist.

Trip to see the lights

Even though we have moved away, it has still been a tradition to go down and see the lights on Temple Square. This year it was a blast. We listened to Christmas music the whole way and the kids sang along. It was about 40 degrees in SLC so it was such a pleasant night to be out. The kids were so excited and were running to see the different lights. My Parents and Sister Katie and her family came down with us and it was a great weekend.

Princess

Morgan was so excited to wear this dress, and my butterfly headband (which she broke :) and go to church and "no cry nursery." She looked so darling. And today, she didn't cry. I think it was the dress.

I thought it was so cute that William wanted to have a pic with his sis. I am glad they are friends.

Sledding

The day after Thanksgiving we went sledding. Good times.

Morgan didn't even want to sled. She just wanted to hit the playground with Papa.


PJ loved being outside. Cold Schmold
Grey chose rolling as his favored method of getting down the hill

I Love Turkey on Thanksgiving!

I can't say enough, how wonderful Thanksgiving was. Most of the Merrill's crammed into my Mom & Dad's house, tons of cousins, tons of Merrill girls, and tons of laughs. I am so thankful for this guy right here. I know, I know.....but I am. He is the best.
Let's just analyze this picture. I had one of them all smiling, but I thought this one waaay better. William is being mr. cool, Mo is cheesing, PJ could care less, Grey is....I have no idea what he is, but it's funny. And I just Love my Mom and Dad. So thankful for them....
Grey and William wanted their pics with dinner. They are so funny. I am thankful for them too.

Thanksgiving was a blast.
