December activities

Pictures came in backwards so here we go. 

Another advent calendar activity was dinner by candlelight. This is always a highlight.

Hannah had her piano recital and played silent night a duet with her teacher.

Eli came out one morning wearing all this clothes because he wanted to be chubby. 

Hannah was so excited to go to her first Valiant Activity in the 10th ward. They made little manger scenes like gingerbread houses. So cleaver and cute! It did fall apart on the way home but she was excited to put it back together the next day.

Dress up boy.

Also this 2 year old boy. He changes his mind and can't decide about anything. One Sunday morning he ended up with this many bowls in hopes something would satisfy him. 

We put together our neighbor gift poppouri bags. We did quite a few more this year but the kids love this activity!

Another loved activity is Christmas sugar cookies!

We also had Paytin at our house for a day and he came upstairs wearing his reunion shirt so naturally all the kids had to dress to match him. 

Steve took my birthday off of work so we decided to capitalize on it and go to see the temple square lights. We also hit up the Church history museum and meet my parents and Paytin and ate dinner at the blue iguana. I am so grateful for all the love I felt!

We also randomly ran into Graci and Laini at temple square. It was one of those God's hand moments. So glad we got to see them!
