A busy month!!!

We have had a very busy month. So busy that I haven't had time to post. I have had so much going on lately, sometimes I feel like I literally don't sit down until like 11:00 at night. We had a great time during the Christmas season, and got to see lots of family. Here are a few of the things that we have been up to.

The kids got a visit from Santa's elves, the elves brought 12 days of Christmas to our house. They loved it.

We went sledding with Uncle Ron, who came and had family night with us and helped us put up the nativity and tell the Story of Christ's birth. The kids adore him and are always so happy when he comes over to play.

We went to the BYU Utah game with my parents. The spolight is shining on me and I am covering Chuck so he is all dark. We had such a great time, but were very sad that BYU lost. Do you notice the huge cut Chuck has on his head.


Cayden and Emma went on a date with dad and went rock climbing. They loved it, and mommy really enjoyed a night out with her friends.


We went to temple square to see the lights. The kids loved the nativity that has talking. At the end there is a spotlight shining up to heaven and Cayden thought it was really an angel up in heaven shining down on us. It was so cute.



We went to the festival of tree's with our friends the Bradley's. the kids loved the tree's and had a blast doing crafts at the kids corner. But their favorite was watching the dancer's perform. Cayden and Riley are so cute together, they tell their teacher at school that they are goint to get married in the temple someday.


Emma and Avery, aren't they so dang cute.

Cayden had his school Christmas program. He did a great job, and remembered all the words' to the songs. Here he is with Ms. Michelle. I have been so impressed with his teacher and his school this year, he is really thriving.


We had my family Christmas party, it was so fun to see everyone. WE are really close with all my cousins and aunts and uncles, so it was so great to spend some time together. I only got pictures of Emma with people, and then forgot to take more of my family. OH WELL.



We decorated the tree. Cayden got to put the star on top. They loved doing it themselves this year and I resisted the urge to fix everything they had done. We also had hot cocoa and decorated our gingerbread house.
