Our December

December was a very busy months for us but we had so much fun! Here are a bunch of pictures and a run down of our December!(warning this is a long post)
Hope everyone had a very Merry Christmas and a great start to the New Year!

Skye helped us decorate the Christmas tree. By day #2 all the ornaments were hung at the top of the tree. Skye had too much fun throwing them all over the living room.

This is the closest we got to Santa this year. Maybe next year we will be on Santa's Lap.

A bunch of Eric's family traveled all the way from Utah to visit for the traditional Sunday before Christmas, Christmas eve party at his Grandparents. It was nice to visit all the family.

Our Christmas eve program consisted of Mary and Joseph-center and the two inn keepers on the ends. They did such a cute job.

This past year has been full of so many great memories for our family that I have loved sharing. In this coming year we are looking forward to a new little angel joining our family and many more great memories. May you all have a great start to this New Year!
Love, The Cottrell's

especially the pony ride.

Skye usually has pretty crazy hair when she wakes
up but this hairdo was picture worthy!!!

Trick or Treat

We took our little Tinkerbell to our wards Trunk or Treat. She surprisingly knew exactly what to do. She had a lot of fun and looked so cute!

Yum, I think this was her favorite part.

Pumpkins

We had fun with our tradition of carving pumpkins. Skye helped daddy spoon out the insides. She was not too fond of pulling the "insides" out with her hands, unlike last year. This year she would only use a spoon.
