100 Things and more!

Merry (almost) Christmas, everyone!

There have been a few funs things in Larsenland this week...

First, Eric finished classes for the semester! Only a few finals left and we're taking a good two weeks in Colorado.

Second, Scotty got three new teeth this week! He's finally starting to seem happy again, so we're grateful.

Third, he was ridiculously adorable at church today. It's been a frustrating few months trying to get through church with an adventurous monkey and come home feeling like it was worth the trip, but the past few weeks have been a lot better. I guess he's finally old enough to somewhat entertain himself, and he thinks passing bread around and sharing a snack is brilliant! He claps everytime... Today during sacrament meeting everytime there was a prayer he would fold his arms :o) makes me feel like at least i'm doing one thing right as a parent, though it's probably a fluke. When he started getting a little ansy i leaned over and told him that sacrament is when we sit quietly and think about Jesus. I didn't expect that to sink in or mean anything, but he looked up at me with his big blue eyes and said, "Je-jus?" SO DANG CUTE!

Fourth, I got some amazing Christmas shoes--red high heels (yes April, I totally found them!) Eric tells me it's the best $15 i've ever spent. Pictures to come!
