December, Part 1

Because Charlie missed his last day of school before Thanksgiving, he didn't get to bring his cute turkey home until December. We still loved it!
On December 2nd, Elle Girl turned 7! She and Charlie are the best of friends!
The Wyatt household has no shortage of beautiful girls. Emma is one of our faves!
I'm always a little bit disappointed when Charlie does great art work on his magna doodle. There's no way to keep it, so I took a picture. He's quite the artist.

The first weekend of December we went to Las Vegas for Christian, Ken, and Michele to run in the Rock 'n Roll half marathon. Unfortunately, on Friday morning before we were set to leave, Christian and Adam were at the instacare being tested for strep. They were both positive. Christian still wanted to go, although he was very sick. The doctor gave him anti-biotics and a steroid to heal him more quickly. Adam went to my parents' house for the weekend where the only person he infected was my Dad. My Dad only infected my nephew Kaden who infected most of his family, and coming full circle, I ended up with strep a couple of weeks later. Yuck!

I wasn't sure if Christian would be able to run, but he did. He finished in one hour, thirty-two minutes (an average of 7 minute miles). He continues to amaze us!
Michele and Ken also did awesome (Michele above in green)! They have my respect, and Vicki and I were happy to be cheering from the side lines.

Ken and Vicki spent the rest of the week in St George. We were happy to have them come to our house for a couple of days at the end of their trip.
Adam is a percocious two year old. You can't leave him alone with a marker or a baby. He loves both! With the marker he will turn himself into a piece of art. With one of his little cousins, like Garrett below, he's likely to love them to death!
