christmas

Christmas season is always a whirlwind. I love the crazy and the hype. I love the excitement in the air. I love seeing my kids' eyes light up. We did a lot....

Ward Christmas party. 

Leo was not having it with Santa!

But I guess that kid will do anything for sugar, once he got a sucker, he was very compliant for the pictures

Avery was for sure creeped out 

We went to the annual CVRMC Christmas party at the casino. We usually win something every year, such as a raffle prize or even a hand in black jack, but we got cleaned out this year! No more beginners luck I guess!

Grandma Tam always send the 12 days of Christmas. We love this tradition! We read stories about the true meaning of Christmas and then do activities!

The Allan's have their annual hot chocolate/PJ party. Their photo booths are for sure my favorite!

Decorations and decorating the tree

We were invited to do the nativity scene with the Ellis family

Avery and Brooklyn were invited to sing in the church's Christmas Sing. They were the only kids and they did a great job. I was so nervous!

Then of course Christmas Eve with the Jolley's! We played games, decorated cookies, ate our fair share of sugar and laughed it up!

And then of course Christmas morning! My favorite thing this year was seeing my kids get excited to give their gifts this year.

And our annual Christmas morning cereal feast!

We sent the kids on a scavenger hunt to find a Disney land trip as their big present!

 And this guy is just as happy as ever!

Merry Christmas!
