We got our family an elf.  Scott named him Melvin.  
It's really a girl, but Scott decided that it should be a boy. 
Lyla really likes to find him when she wakes up.


The 1st day Melvin was eating Lyla's breakfast.


The 2nd day Melvin built a house for himself.
Building houses for her toys is one of Lyla's favorite things
to do with her toys.

Lyla's favorite Christmas song is "Rudolf the Red Nose Reindeer." 
She has me sing it all day long, but now she is helping and singing some of the words to the song.

We are signing on our house tonight. Can't wait! 
It's going to be great! I want to get my Christmas decorations up!   


We went to Utah this last weekend and Lyla finally saw her first snow of the season.
She had so much fun playing in the snow with Bella.


She also likes to help clean the snow off of the cars.
Someday we might get snow at our house...I am okay if we don't. ;-)

Making cookies!

Lyla loves to help me bake. She likes to climb up on her 'stairs' and pour everything in.
After each time she poured something in she'd look at me and said, 'Taste?'




 'COOKIES!'








'TASTE?'



Rolling out the dough.






She loves to frost and put sprinkles on.























Making cookies with Lyla is so much fun.
We are so excited for Christmas!
We can't wait to move into our NEW HOUSE in 2 weeks (hopefully sooner) 
and put all of our Christmas decorations up!
