delivering a plate to the Gaags. this photo was not staged. 
paisley and cado each drew on one plate, thats paisley's.
in the Gaag's apartment elevator.
cute baby doing her tummy workout on dirty sheets. it seems as soon as i wash them they get spit up or poo stains. thats life with a cute little newborn!
That's my blue eyed beauty !!!
this may be the most random and un-Christmas related album. This is just something i made recently and liked. its called Moroccan chicken and vegetable stew or something. I served this over couscous. here's the link: http://allrecipes.com/Recipe/Moroccan-Chicken-and-Whole-Grain-Couscous/Detail.aspx
It seems similar to the moroccan soup I make which is so good. It looks delicious and healthy. I will definately look it up
sad story. This is my attempt at making the traditional christmas braided breads my mom has always made. see my last year christmas blog for ones that worked. Funny thing is this exact same thing happened to my parents and we both realized we had bad yeast. don't they look yummy! 
I know how sad you were, you went to alot of work. We threw out the dough when it never rose. It truly didn't seem the same Christmas morning without our yummy breads.
Looks great, Harmony. I like it alot !
Love this picture. Looks like Christmas goodness.
It really does. I just love your stars. It is very twinkly and gives off a warm christmas glow.
paper angels made by friend and artist in our ward Ruth Muller, and graham cracker houses made by the kids.
I want to get back into paper cutting. I gave Jason and Katherine a paper cut nativity that I made and framed. I asked my nurse friend to give me any surgical scissors left over from surgeries for that is the best to use and she said she could get lots because they just throw them away after every procedure. No wonder health care costs so much, they could steralize them like other countries do. Oh well my gain.
being inspired by cado painting the inside of his shirt, i painted this green tree on this red pillow i usually have in our room. it was my favorite christmas decoration.
You did a great job with what you had bringing in the christmas spirit and decor into your home. It looks great.
aren't those cute! i think so. i made the circles and snow outline on the ground, but the kids did the rest of the painting, stuck on the balls, and made snow with their fingertips. we used stickers for the nose, and sequins for the mouth, ribbons for the scarves, string for the arms, buttons for the eyes, and scrunched tissue paper for the hats; all just stuff i already had.
This album is public for all to see.
this is from the night we took plates of goodies that we made to our home and visiting teaching families. Paisley's face here is funny. Spencer was 3 for 3 with his families and me 0 for 3! but I was able another day to deliver at least to one person. we just made chocolate chip (which are impossible to make here unless you get a few things from america or the american store), sugar cookies and no bake cookies.
