First week of December

I have soooo many pictures from this month that in order for me to get motivated to post them all I decided to divide it up into weeks. So here's some happenings from the first week of December...

Evan loves to get into the colored pencils, markers and crayon drawers and chuck them out of the drawer and all over the floor. I find it amusing and don't even mind putting them all away when he's done- and he will actually help me most of the time.
Another favorite playing place his inside the fridge. He loves taking the items from the door and putting them on the ground. Sometimes he spends so much time in there that he needs to sit down and take a rest...!
 
He likes playing with grandpa and especially likes to visit him at work and try and play with everything on his desk. 
Kylee went to Seattle for the weekend to house hunt with Brody, so we got Evan all to ourselves for 2 1/2 days. The following pictures were taken that weekend...

All ready for church and looking so handsome!
 He's always happy when sitting on Grammie's lap...
 
Sometimes we forget to lock the ice and water so he gets a surprise in his face when he pushes the buttons...
 I took him to Ann's one afternoon to play with her fun toys.




Just hanging out w/ his pal Sal. It looks like he's just been reprimanded or something but no, this is just him making one of his many funny faces.
Mike, Carol and I attended the American Festival Chorus and Orchestra Christmas concert after a tasty meal at Olive Garden. It was fun to go with Carol since she had only been one other time. We had great seats in the middle of the 7th row, and I absolutely loved the concert with the three special guests- Jenny Oaks Baker, Jenny Jordan Frogley and Kurt Bestor. It's such a great way to start the month every year.

Since this was the least busy week of the month, I'll add some pictures of Cam with this post. He continues to do great things in Chicago and it's such a joy to hear from him each week and to be on the countdown to when we got to Skype w/ him on Christmas.

He got to attend the temple with his zone which always makes him happy.
About once a month his district gets permission to go out of their area and spend their Pday in downtown Chicago. Of course a visit to the bean is a must...
Even though it was cold, they took their bikes so they could get around the city easier.

 He was asked to baptize a woman that the Hermana's had been teaching, which he was more than happy to do!

He was able to attend the baptism of Ricio-a woman he had taught last year in his first area. He was so happy when he found out she was getting baptized!
