Terrible what? . . . and pictures

So I really think that the fever Andi had with this last ear infection has melted her brain a little, or that whoever came up with the "terrible two's" seriously misspoke just to coin a phrase. Since we have been back she has started doing all kinds of weird things. First off she screams, and not in the "check out this cool new noise I can make" way either. It's a banshee wailing scream that is accompanied by flailing and rolling around on the ground. She has done this twice in the last week and the first time she did it I was actually afraid there was something wrong with her. Then I realized it was a tantrum and laughed at her. She is such a drama queen!
Secondly she makes these weird faces all the time. And will make them on command. If you make them at, her she will do it right back. And she knows it's funny because she laughs while she's doing it. Also she has discovered chocolate in all it's fabulous varieties. We had to put the candy dish away because she would yell and point at it whenever she caught a glimpse. I made brownies the other night and when they were sitting on top of the stove she yelled and pounded on the oven till we gave her some brownie. At lease we know where she gets this ;)
While she still doesn't say anything but daddy she has learned to point at whatever she wants, or wherever she wants to go, so she is communicating with us pretty effectively these days.
As for Thad and I we mostly just sit and laugh at her. Thad started school today. I know he wasn't looking forward to classes today, but I woke up in the best mood because it is his last semester. I have been very cheerful all day and just keep thinking how quickly the semester will go by and how soon we might be done with Provo! Of course now that I've said it out loud the semester will drag by and he will get a job in Provo and we'll be stuck here forever, just watch.
Anyway I promised Christmas pictures so here are a few.
