A lot Like Christmas

              

             

We've had snow this week, Christmas music playing non-stop (I'm not joking), and have now frosted sugar cookies shaped like candy-canes, Christmas trees, gingerbread men, and stars. The highlight of it all would be Darla standing all by her self. No steps yet, but she is "furniture cruising" as some may call it. She has discovered the delight of unloading our canned goods cupboard. Amazing what will keep her entertained. She was also able to play with Dallin and Paige (her favorites). Lastly her FAVORITE word is "Hi". She probably says it over 100 times a day. Where ever we go, no matter who she sees - she will say it to everyone and will keep saying it until they look at her and acknowledge her. I think she already knows how cute she is. 

Quite the week and it isn't over yet - I believe we are going to make up a little homemade Cafe Rio (yes Erik and I are counting down until we can eat the real thing!) for some people that are coming over tomorrow. Erik is studying hard trying to wrap up all of his papers and assignments. This semester has gone so quickly. He has done an incredible job. I cannot believe we are where we are. 4 months has disappeared.
