Christmas

Christmas was with Chad's family this year. I love going to visit his family. We always have such a good time! This year we went bowling. I was the high score on our lane! Then we had Christmas dinner at the church, and ending with a mean game of panic (I think that is what they called it). I love this time of year! I love being with family, no school, the lights, music, people's kindness, and remembering what Christmas is all about and the reason we have it!

Christmas Eve

Christmas Eve was a little busy this year. Chad wanted to get certified for scuba diving so that we can go and do it on our cruise in January.  A couple weeks ago we went to Scuba with Santa and tried it out to see if we wanted to pursue it. Chad was totally on board, but I was not so sure I could do it. He ended up convincing me that I could do it with him and we took our last test on Christmas Eve at the Crater in Midway, so luckily my mom was willing to come and be with the kids so we could go to that. I am so nervous but he needs a buddy to go with so I guess I get to volunteer! Brynlee and Dallin both lost a tooth so the tooth fairy and Santa get to visit tonight, and we can't go to sleep unless we get the traditional PJ's! It didn't feel like it was Christmas Eve because I think we were so busy, but it is okay to do different things too!

Christmas concert

This year we had three little cuties in the Christmas concert at school. It was Dallin's first year and he did awesome! Now we can move on to class parties and then Christmas Break!

Gingerbread Houses

This year for our gingerbread house, I found a box of small individual houses instead of the one big one we usually get. The kids really liked doing their own. Christmas traditions are so fun!

Christmas Choir Concert

We got into the Christmas Spirit with Brynlee's Christmas Choir Concert! It was so fun to see her perform. 

Christmas Tree Hunting

The annual Christmas tree picking! Home Depot always seems where we end up. This year I put the lights on and the kids did the rest of the decorating. (I didn't even fix it when they went to bed, I am so proud of myself!) They did a great job and had fun doing it so that is what matters!
