December activities

 The construction on our new house is going really well (and fast).  We will probably be moving in by March!
 We had a really fun Christmas party at our house with some Horseshoe Bend friends.  The best part was the white elephant gift exchange.  Someone brought a deer mount and the Caziers ended up with it. I'm sure they will be putting it up in their living room soon!
Joel got an awesome Chuck Norris weather forecast T-shirt that says, "Cloudy with a 90% chance of pain".  He loves it!  Then we played a good game of big booty.  Some were more skilled at it than others.
Ammon had his 13th Birthday party on Saturday.  I can't believe that we have a teenager!  He is a wonderful son who helps out a ton.  He is an excellent baby tender, great on the piano and drums, and an avid reader.  We sure love him and feel blessed that he is part of our family!

Caroline's Blessing

 Last Sunday we finally blessed our darling little Caroline Rae.  She was a perfect angel and slept through her blessing.  She also got to wear the most darling dress ever made for a baby. 
 My good friend from high school makes dresses, so I asked her to make Caroline's (she also made one for Savannah).  She came up with this idea and spent about 12 hours sewing all of the layers (they are made of five different kinds of fabric).  Joel called it her tiny wedding dress.
I love being a mother again. It is one of the best blessings the Lord has given me in my life, seven times!
