December Happenings

The first Monday night of December we went down to see the temple lights for family night. Grandma and Grandpa came down with us. It was great to have them with us. The lights were beautiful as always. We went in to the visiting center and listened to the sister missionaries sing Christmas songs. I love walking around the temple drinking hot chocolate looking at the lights it's such a peaceful feeling.




Love this little snuggle bear!!!


We invited some of our good friends over to make gram cracker ginger bread houses. It was a lot of fun watching the girls get sticky. Making a mess decorating their houses. I think the kids got as much candy in there tummy's that the house got on them.




Trip to the mall to see Santa. We did not buy a picture with him because they were way to pricey. For just one pitcher so they let me take one with my camera but it did not turn out. So we do not have a picture with the big guy. Brayden was not a fan he cried the minute we put him on his lab. Poor little guy!





The only way to get him to stop crying was to give him Dan's phone

I got to go help with Kimberley's Christmas party this year. It was a lot of fun meeting all her friends and helping them make Christmas tree cookies. They did a program for the parents after the party. She did such a great job. She is a performer at heart loves to sing and dance.



On Christmas Eve we have the traditions of having a nice sit down meal with our little family. We get out the good Christmas table wear. After dinner was cleaned up and the kids were bathed we opened up our new Christmas pj's and our new Christmas movie. Dan always reads out of the bible about the night Jesus was born and we rein-acted it with the kids nativity set. After that we watched our new movie ate cookies and drank hot chocolate. Before we went to bed we set out cookies and milk for Santa. And don't forget the carrots for the reindeer. We read the night before Christmas. Then off to bed the kids went.
