Kirking Family Scoop: December

I also just posted November, so click the next page to see that!

December is always such a fun month. The girls were very into Christmas this year. Unfortunately they were NOT very into taking a Christmas card picture in late November. Due to cold and wet weather, we had to take the pic inside. Luckily there was one winner (out of about 60 shots), although Wyatt would not keep his hand out of his mouth.

Sweet sisters... looks easy, right?

but this is how it really went down. Love these crazies!!

We made a last minute trip to see Santa at 7pm, and there was not a line. This is the first visit with Santa without tears! Sydney asked for a princess doll and Jenna asked for a Dora doll.

The highlight of Sydney's fifth birthday in October was that she can now have gum! A long time ago we had told her she can have gum when she is five, and she definitely remembered it. Restaurant gumball machine- yes please! Good thing she got a pink one.

We got to see cousin Taylor dance in the Nutcracker! The girls loved it.

Sydney held the Walters' cat! This was a huge breakthrough since she has been very afraid of animals in person.

Family of five, now complete! We have had these stocking hangers since the year Sydney was born, and now we fill it up.

BJ's latest project- he had the roof over our patio extended and put in an outdoor fireplace. Wyatt loved watching it happen.

Sydney loves to take pictures.

We had lots of fun making gingerbread houses with the Prewitts. The girls lost interest after a while, and Sydney was most interested in eating the candy, but overall a success. Jenna stuck the gingerbread man to the front of her house.

Sydney loves to wear her holiday attire year round. She wore her Halloween outfit this day. Crazy girl!

Sydney made this list at school about a week and a half before Christmas. A cat?!?! We actually considered it for half a second then decided to get her a stuffed cat.
