December 2011 Part 1

*I am making a goal to get caught up with my blog before the end of the year, and then to keep up on it.
So here we go!!
 
December was a busy month so we'll post in parts.
 
Jaina: she discovered how to open the cupboard and decided that she liked Mini-Wheats!
 
We made our traditional trek to the the Provo Towne Center Mall to meet Santa! 
 
 
Just a sweet pic of my little one.
Oh how she loves her blanket. 
 
We went with the whole Ramey Clan up to Temple Square in Salt Lake to see the Christmas Lights.
This statue is amazing!  I am so grateful to be able to see it during the Christmas season to remember WHY we celebrate it. I am thankful for my Savior and all he has done for me. 
 
 
 
 
 
Remember how I said she can open the cupboard??? 
Gotta love the Cheerios! 
 
Mana got Jaina and Finley matching jammies as early Christmas presents, they even matched Aunt Karri! 
 
My mom and I had been working on Book of Mormon Quilts! They turned out so cute!
I didn't finish mine fully until a few months later. 
 
Little Miss J, always sitting in ANYTHING that she can, even if it's too small.
