Some Pictures, finally. :)

Halli got to celebrate her birthday at school. Can you tell she is proud of her birthday crown?

Halli schools program. Her and Ian walking up to the stage.

Halli did such a good job singing. Her favorite song was "Happy Birthday Jesus". We sang that all the time in the car. She was standing at the end of the stage and we sat on the right side to see her. She was so happy to see us. My little girl is growing up so fast.

Halli likes to make little hiding places. This was one of her favorites at Christmas.

It was next to the Christmas tree and heater vent.

She takes all the blankets, pillows and stuffed animals she can find and makes her own area.

It's pretty cute.

Ond day she fell asleep in her hidey hole.


Matt and Heather came over for dinner and Halli really liked Heather. Halli and I were going to make brownies, but she quietly asked me if Heather could do it instead. It was very cute.

It made Halli's day to spend time with her.

Halli's Sunday school class got to sing at church. Halli was more interested in her costume and watching herself on the big screen. She didn't seem to bothered by all the people.

We made sure we sat in front so she could see us.

Halli went to the Christmas Eve service with us. She didn't care for the singing (it was too loud). But she really wanted to hold the candle at the end of the service. She did very good holding it still and not spilling any wax. Most importantly, she didn't catch anything on fire!

Baptized!

On Sunday we went to both services. The second service was a special class for the parents then the kids got to join us later. The story in Halli's class was about John the Baptist baptizing Jesus. When she got to join us we went over the same story in the new bible the church gave us. I didn't think she was paying attention to the story when we were going through the bible and I hoped she had paid better attention in Sunday school. Well, I think she was paying attention. :)

Later that night she wanted to sit on the bathroom counter and wash her hands then her feet in the sink. After she had scrubbed up, rinsed and was drying off, she looked at me and said, "I'm baptized!"

Nice to know she was paying attention. :)
