Check out her black light bath, bentos, and light table. I didn't look closely at experimenting with color but at first glance, that looks pretty cool too! For those who try her ideas with your little ones (heck, or big ones, I'm thinking I might have to try some myself) have fun with the creativity and photos that I'm sure will follow.

Return of the Prodigal Blogger-Part 2
My goal is to get to sleep early tonight so I'll see how much I get posted before it's time to call it a night.
December began with our ward Christmas party. Dan and I were asked to be the chairs of the committee so the ideas began. As we contemplated what to do and how to do it I felt very strongly that our ward needed to be together celebrating and not some of us serving while others were celebrating. We contacted another ward to see if they would serve at our dinner in return for us serving at theirs. After several people commented on how nice it was to all be together and I was pleased that the inspiration came together as it did.
Each of the auxiliaries were in charge of part of the night. The YW helped with Santa and took pictures. The YM helped usher and set up the tables and chairs. The Relief Society decorated, the Primary worked with the Bishopric on a gift to the families, the Elder Quorum picked up the food, and the High Priests gave a presentation. Everyone helped with the clean up.
Santa came at the beginning of the event and he was in a room other than where we served dinner. We had everyone sing the 12 Days of Christmas and broke up the group by days. Each group selected a person or two to go to the front and read part of "Twas the Night Before Christmas." The High Priests took the book I Believe in Santa Claus by Diane G. Adamson and shared its message with those in attendance.
The whole evening went well and we came away very pleased with the end result and how it all came together.
I've often passed The Pastry Perfection when running errands or driving various places around town. It's only a few miles from our place and every time I drive by I think I'll stop in someday. Well, someday finally came. As we headed home from work I decided that I'd splurge some of my allowance money for Home Evening treats at Pastry Perfection. A smart and yet dangerous decision at the same time.
A good portion of the month was spent getting Christmas ready; purchasing gifts, wrapping, shipping, decorating the house, etc.
There much more to come but I'd better stop here before I don't get it posted and I'm more months behind...

Hey Four Eyes!
Dan needed to fill a new prescription for his glasses. I asked him if he wanted to change his frames again or go with the same he had before. He elected for new frames. In the spirit of March Madness, and in no particular order, here are the final four...(Don't let his facial expressions affect your vote he was just goofing off.)

Return of the Prodigal Blogger
I've decided that I NEED to get some catching up done here so I swiped the computer from Dan after dinner and will do my best to get as much posted as I can tonight. So...
Do do Do do Do do Do Dooooooo (think Twilight Zone)
It's fall 2011. Date night and the camera came along to document the fun:
The autumn colors in our neighborhood were gorgeous. Every time I'd drive home from work I'd think about taking picture. Finally, I did. 2-3 days later, the leaves had all dropped off the trees.
Amanda & Jake came over for a quick weekend visit in October and a few days after they left Dan & I watched Harry Potter 7 Part 2 for the 2nd time, but this time in 3D:
The Horrocks Family Thanksgiving gathering was in Boise this year. Andy & Angela hosted and we gathered for good food, puzzles, visiting, games, new released movies, and Black Friday shopping. We began (yes, I participated this year for my first time ever) at midnight and around 3:00 AM Amanda was finished for the night. I was spent sooner but since I was driving she and Jake, I did my best to not be a wet rag to their adventure. Also, while Amanda was with us, we celebrated her 26th birthday. A very festive, fun, and family-filled weekend!
Lots more to come but this is a good start for tonight. So until the prodigal blogger returns...

We know you are jealous of all our date night creativity, it's ok, you can admit it. :)
The Boise Temple is closed for remodeling so we have to travel to the Twin Falls Temple for awhile. We went for the first time to our temporary temple in October.

Amanda was reading the photo book she made for Sid to Jake. Wish I'd caught it on video but by the time I had that thought, she was finished.
