Here comes Santa Clause
On Thursday Dan played Santa Clause for Kimberley's preschool the kids thought it was really cool that Santa came to see them at school. I know Dan got a kick out of it. Every year he and I play Mr and Ms Clause for our Christmas party's. I know he really enjoys it and loves see how the kids react to him and what they ask for. It would not surprise me if he played a Santa at the mall when he is old and dose not need to work anymore.
Temple Lights
Last Monday we went to the Temple for family night we meet Dan's mom and Dad and his sister there and walked the grounds with hot coco. I did not get that greatest of pictures because my camera died. Let just say I have not been having the best of luck with the camera lately. But any ways I love going to the Temple you get such a great peaceful feeling when you walk the grounds. The Salt Lake Temple is one of my Favorite it's been a little over a year seance our family was sealed there. I'm so grateful for the saver and the sacrifice he gave so we can have all the wonderful opponents we have on this earth in this time and day.
Christmas update
Well we had a great weekend full of family party's. We went to Dan's moms side on Saturday afternoon were we feasted on home made soup and bread with Grandmas homemade chocolates. It was nice to see everyone. All the kids in the family are getting so big not to say that the family it's self is getting so big.
On Sunday night we went to Dan's dads side for a ham diner with the famous funeral potato's. It's nice to share the Holidays with family and see people you don't really see any other time. I was un able to get picture of the party's we did not stay to long Brigham has been sick so we just stayed to eat and drop off the gifts. But we had a great time seeing the family. Thanks to our family for there love and support we love you all!!!

GINGERBREAD HOUSE
Well today we made a Gingerbread House it was the first this family has ever made. The kids had a great time helping put the candy on the house and eating it to. I think this is going to become a thing we do every year. I love having my own family to start our own traditions. It's starting to feel like Christmas with the snow and the cold. The kids were so happy to wake up to it snowing. I hope everyone has a great week before Christmas!!!!

On Monday night me and Dan went to The forgotten Carol with our friends Kelly and Wilson. we had a great time It was such a wonderful way to bring in the spirit for the holiday season. Some times we forget what Christmas is really about and this preferment's was such a great reminder of are saver and the true meaning of Christmas. A little over five years ago I lost my grandpa to Caner I miss him offend and wish he could be here, but I know he was sharing that moment with me. I felt him so strongly I am grateful for that. Thanks again for the invite Kelly we had a great time.
