December? Nope.

Yes, this post has pictures from the busy month of December.  But, no, none of them about the festivities going on.  They are all because of THIS little girl. The one with the stinky face.  Who's sitting on the table and eating all the popcorn. She's not so innocent.

Farris was called to the Bishopric awhile ago and when he was called my first thought was "HOW am I going to be able to get through Sacrament meeting with Seth without a back-up parent?"  And I was justified in that, he was awful at first, but he's gotten better.  Most of the time, anyway.  And then that cute little girl in the picture up there decided to step into Seth's very noisy shoes. 

 What?  I'm too noisy?  Whatever.

So anyway.  One day in Sacrament meeting, or the weekly wrestling match as I sometimes call it, I was trying to get Abigail to look through these cute quiet books that my sister-in-law Cindi made for us.  They are little plastic photo albums with pictures and text from the Book of Mormon and other Church topics.  (By the way Cindi, I love those!)  Abby wasn't too into it, they really are made for Seth and Joseph's age level.  And then the idea (probably inspiration!) of taking pictures of some of Abigail's favorite people, her siblings, doing quiet, reverent, nice, Church approved activities and putting them in a photo book.  So as soon as we got home I stopped everyone before they ripped off their church clothes (the cyclone that happens before lunch) they all had to pose for me.  And I got a lot of cute shots, enough to mostly fill up one of those dollar store albums.

 Doesn't he look reverent?  Of course, if this was a video, you'd see that he was actually jumping up and down in place.  With a reverent face.

 Reading nicely from scriptures and being nice to each other, perfect!

 Reading other Church material.And cute Caleb in the background with his arms folded! Just remember to use your Church Voice. OR...

Hmmm.  Well, it's close.
