James David McFarlane

     On November 14, 2013, James David McFarlane made his debut! He is so adorable and I can't wait to hold him!  Congratulations Tim and Amy on your handsome little guy!
 
This picture is so cute but I just wish it showed all his hair!

Ward Christmas Party

Mackenzie and some other kids also did a musical number at the ward Christmas party. Mackenzie sang "Mary Did You Know?" while a few other kids from the ward signed it. It was so beautiful!

Haylee's Guitar Recital

Haylee has been improving at the guitar by leaps and bounds! She is now learning how to pluck out individual notes. Her very first guitar recital she played "America the Beautiful." She played the chords and sang the melody. This recital, about a year and a half later, she played the same song but plucked the notes. I love listening to Haylee play the guitar and I am so proud of her hard work. She also played and sang "Away in a Manger" with Daren for the ward Christmas party.

WHAT?!?! Is This Genetic?

CAUGHT IN THE ACT!


He sure thought he was funny. I asked Daren and he said Nate has never seen him drink from the jug. I guess it's just an instinct males are born with. :)
