Jesus wants me for a Sunbeam!

Last Sunday was Grace's first Sunday in Primary. They call the class for the littlest kids the Sunbeams. (18 mo - 3 year olds go to nursery, in January of the year they turn 4 the kids start going to Primary until they turn 12 years old) She of course went with no tears and I think thoroughly enjoyed every minute of it. Her teachers are Brother and Sister Abbott, who were also Benson's Sunbeam teachers who we love and appreciate more than words can say! Grace is such a happy girl. Even when she is being disciplined it is really hard to upset her. She loves to have fun and make people laugh. Life is so much more fun with her around!
With the new year we now go to church from 1-4pm, which is a first for us since having children. We have moved at just the right times to avoid being on the afternoon schedule which falls during nap time. We really lucked out because Benson is done napping, Grace can handle going without a nap one day a week, and now instead of having to take Sabrina out in the hall during Sacrament Meeting she will "nuggle" with her mama and take a nap which is more enjoyable for everyone involved.
I had Grace get dressed up in her Sunday clothes again to take a picture right before bedtime, which she was very willing to do. She loved her new leopard print sweater from Aunt Chelsea!

She was also wearing black tights and shoes at church, but you get the idea.

Such a Daddy's girl...in looks and personality!

They love to be silly with Daddy

Easton was also so excited to go to primary last week...he had his fill of nursery. (His only concern was whether they would have snack.)

I always thought Grace looked like you...on you Christmas card it seems you have the exact same smile. Either way, your kids are adorable.
