So Far, So Good

We have a pretty mellow Christmas laid out this year, much to my enjoyment. We do have a party three Saturdays in a row, but that about covers all major events this season. Yay for simple.

Last Saturday, we went to the ward party at church.

We actually missed the annual Petty party because of it, but we did make it down to Draper for Grandpa Petty's 80th Birthday party.

Impressively, they managed to have all five of their children in attendance. I say impressive because one lives in Arkansas and another in Maryland--that's a ways to come.

Santa made an appearance at the ward party. Megan was quite excited.

Jane, on the other hand, was terrified. Ran and hid. Ben couldn't have cared less.

While we were in Draper, Jane was playing the backyard with a few other kids. Smart her, she wanted to show everyone how to walk on ice. And then the ice broke and she fell into the pond. Ha. Luckily, there wasn't much water and she managed to keep her footing, too, so she wasn't completely soaked, but she did lose the use of her shoes for the rest of the day.

P.S. Happy Birthday to my Mom!!
