Hyrum's Favorite Toy

We're home! After a wonderful weekend away from the city visiting family, we are home. 

We pulled in around 7:30 last night. 

While I bathed the children, Mr. Stannix unloaded the car and cleaned up the house! 

Did I mention how much I love that man? Because I do.

Highlights from this weekend included a surprise 50th birthday party for my dear ol' Daddykins

(a nick name he acquired on one of my 7th grade outdoor ed trips).

We had the whole family home, which hasn't happened for a while.

We snapped some family pictures out in the fresh snowfall to send to my little brother in Chile.

Hyrum's favorite toy at Gramma and Grampa's is "The Backscratcher". 

It's quite hilarious really, he will play with that thing for hours!

A few of my favorite things from yesterday included Camilla sitting all by herself on the 

"big potty" singing "Twinkle Twinkle Little Star". 

I really wanted to change the lyrics to 'tinkle tinkle'.

I feel like my life has turned into a musical as Camilla will make up songs everywhere she goes.

"Sitting on my potttttty, sitting on my pottty" was one from yesterday.

I also enjoyed watching Hyrum play with his toes as he snuggled with Grampa before we left.
He is the most content little boy I've ever met. I love how goofy his personality is.
He was up a lot last night, I'm thinking tooth #2 will soon be making an appearance.

We all slept until 9:00 am, and I have had a rather lazy day.
We ran out to Wal-Mart this morning for milk and other necessities, and then home again. 

Camilla fell asleep on the couch watching "101 Dalmations"
cozied under a blanket while the snow began gently falling outside.

Hyrum just woke up, and is enjoying a bottle in his saucer.

He is looking out the window at the big snow flakes that have just arrived.

 

The falling snow always makes me extra excited for Christmas! 

Evergreen trees, baking, hot chocolate, the smells, lights...

I can't wait!
