WHAAAT??!! No, no....stop it, stop it!!!

I tell Sierra to stop, but she does not listen! Why is the baby 6 MONTHS old already? Can anybody tell me how that happened? I'll tell you why. It's because she's our last. Man, I didn't think it would be so hard. It seriously makes me want to cry. A lot of my friends aren't done having kids or haven't started, so I seriously don't know how to deal with this. I am in uncharted waters here! Time goes by too fast now that we know we are done having kids. All you mommies who are done, how do you make it less hard to deal with? I guess I never thought I'd see this day, but it's here. Does anyone every really enjoy changing diapers, being spit up on, snot wiped all over the front of their shirt, etc? Well, I don't think so, but I am definitely enjoying every bit of her while I can. She IS my baby, and always will be. Now more than ever, when I rock her to sleep, I feel and understand what a miracle all 3 of my girls are. And I am thankful! My cup runneth over!

Sierra enjoys her binkie sideways a lot

loves grabbing her feet, doing sit-ups

rolling onto her tummy

taking baths

She is a joy and we are so glad she's our little honey bunny! She gets to spend her first Christmas and Grandma at Grandpa Heaton's next week and we are excited to watch her chew on the wrapping paper, instead of the toys we bought her! :)

I'm always going to be late on her stats now that I was late once. Can't have those immunizations too close together or they don't count. So we'll go to the doctors after we get back and have her all up to date.

Temple Square

Or, "Square Temple," as Autumn likes to call it!

A few weekends ago I decided it would be fun for us to go to temple square and see the lights as a family. The girls and I picked up something for us to eat for dinner in the car on the way up. Next stop, was picking up James from work, but we had to wait 20 minutes for him to get there from the Provo warehouse and unload the truck full of stuff he had just brought. Then he wanted to stop by Cabela's to possibly use his gift card he had won from his work Christmas party the night before. (Yes, it was burning a hole in his pocket!) Then we got stuck in major traffic for a Jazz game that I had no idea was going on. So after about 3 hours after leaving Payson, we arrived!! Only to find no parking in sight. We ended up parking a few block south by a bank and paying $5 for it. Oh well.

The lights were gorgeous and we caught the very last song of a Christmas Choir singing in that little building on the south west corner. Think it was the first tabernacle? The congregation sung along with the choir to "Silent Night". It was beautiful and the girls loved seeing the temple and the Nativity Scene set up outside the Visitors center. We also listened as the story of Jesus' birth was played over the speakers. Love this time of year! We are so grateful for our Savior and his birth, and we were so happy to go and make a fun memory as a family. We hope to be able to go see the lights every year! It was a late night, but well worth it. They were super easy to put to bed! Merry Christmas to all!!
