Merry Christmas

With house hunting, moving, and juggling work and family, we didn't get to send out Christmas cards this year. Still, I hope you all know how much we love and appreciate having you in our lives! Thank you for sharing your lives with us. We feel fortunate to be surrounded by wonderful people.

Love from our family to yours, and we hope you have a very Merry Christmas.

Phoenician Christmas

I've loved the posts on many of your blogs that say: "here is the view from our house right now" and usually depict feet of white, fluffy snow and buried cars. At first glance I think: wow, that looks gorgeous! and Christmasy! And then I remember that it's cold. And you have to shovel your car out everyday.

My view seems better and better everyday.


Scotty hangs out in the cul-de-sac with his big kid friends. Today they showed him how to use a walky-talky.

He can actually pedal from time to time but mostly walks his bike around. He usually wears his firefighter helmet so he matches the big kids with their helmets.

Doesn't seem like Christmas time to you? What more do you want? Christmas colored toe nails?


At least here you can actually see them... besides, we took Scotty to see the temple lights the other week and it was cold enough that we actually got hot chocolate.

Transportation Man



My mom commented that I hadn't updated the blog in awhile. So here you go mom, pictures I took in your hall bathroom! You would think she doesn't get to see this kid everyday ;o)

He's still Mr. Transportation, so I often walk into the bathroom in the morning to discover a demolition derby in the sink or a parking lot on top of the toilet seat.

You can always tell when he's up to something...

It's Christmastime in Larsenland

In case the makeover didn't give you the hint, it is Christmastime in Larsenland! We are celebrating the winter wonderland by riding our bikes in the cul-de-sac and visiting the heated community pool.


Scotty loved picking out a Christmas tree and he brought home that little branch. I had to hook into his toddler bed--he wouldn't sleep without it.


While the big boys were out working, Scotty, Nana, and I decorated the tree. He picked out his own appropriately festive attire. He has permanently borrowed this hat from his Papa becuase it makes him look so cool. Scotty particularly loves the bicycle and tricycle ornaments and often takes them off the tree to store in the back of his bike.


He also likes to play the decorative Christmas horn...

Hoppy Toppin



I'm not sure where this came from but it makes us laugh every time.
I had to catch it on video before he outgrew it...
