The festivities have begun!

Here is what we have been up to...

Everett is a total cheesers (as you can tell from the pictures below), but he can also be totally shy.

It's pretty easy to get him to be a cheeser though.

 We had our ward Christmas party and after an hour we headed to the Esquire Jazz Orchestra concert.

My mom sings in the Esquire Quartet. 

I took multiple videos, but I won't post them without her permission. 

Let's just say she and the quartet and the orchestra did amazing!

 Dani and Jefferson

 Me, my dad and Dani

 Me and Mr. Handsome Face

 We were a little late in getting our Christmas decorations up, but we finally did it.

This year we bought a fake tree. It took us less than an hour to to put up and decorate. Bonus!

 Santa came early to our house and delivered this little guy.

Meet Chewy!

He's half mini Schnauzer - half terrier. Apparently this mixture of breeds is hypoallergenic? All I know is that he doesn't shed much which makes this girl happy. He is another child of mine, but for being a puppy he is pretty well behaved. We all adore him (including Everett).
