Dillan's Birthday Present

Happy Birthday to Dillan today! What did Dillan do when I came into the room with his wrapped present? Turn and watch the TV! We had to turn off the TV and take away the toy he was playing with before he would even pay any attention to his present. Then he ripped off a little piece of wrapping paper and walked away with it, totally satisfied. With a little help he finally ripped off a long strip of the wrapping paper.

He was more interested once he figured out there was a ball inside.

Tada! He finally got it. After less than 5 minutes he was done playing with his new toy and back to playing with the original one we had taken away. Turning 1 didn't make him anymore grown-up.

Our Christmas Tree

For Family Home Evening we made our Christmas Tree. First we got out different green scrapbook pages, ripped them up, and collaged them together to make the tree.
Getting it on the wall was easy compared to keeping it on the wall once we added the lights. A lot of tape and that sticky gooey moldable stuff was used to keep it all in place!
The finished product! You can't really see, but there are some angel ornaments on it too. Merry Christmas to us!

Happy Thanksgiving

For Thanksgiving we went down to St. George and had a little vacation and a big feast with my grandparents, aunts and uncles, the whole shebang. Dillan's best moments were outside, away from the crowd of the family members. He especially loved crunching the fall leaves.

My Little Trouble Maker

Here he is little (same size as Teddy Bear).

Here he is a Trouble Maker!

And how do I ever get him to stop making trouble? Hypnotism!
