Here are some of the fun things we have been doing to get the Christmas spirit this year:
Haylee had her 2nd grade program. It was so cute! They did great! Haylee was singing "Deck the Halls" the day before her performance and she said, " Dawny now our day in peril, Fa La La La La La La La La"(it's supposed to say 'Dawn we now our gay apparel') it was so funny.
Some kind people in our ward is doing the 12 Days of Christmas to us. We are all having a blast opening up one present a night for the 12 days. We have already received a turkey, Glasses that turn the Christmas lights you look at into different shapes (they are awesome, we love them), a candle that smells like Gingerbread cookies, yum, this cool train, and a Mancala game. We can't wait to see what is next. Another nice family or person dropped off a box of food with a card and some Christmas money. Everyone is so nice, they have really made us feel welcome here in the ward.
Here are our Gingerbread houses we made (the day before the Gingerbread train was opened). We always make these and get creative with all of the left over candy from the year. We have heart suckers from Valentine's Day, green popcorn balls from St. Patrick's Day, candy corn from Halloween and other odds and ends. It is fun to see how creative everyone gets. Kiera put a lamp post out of a candy cane, Mason made a reindeer with chocolates, Haylee made a person on a bicycle.
Now that we are back in Utah I hope to make this a tradition again, going to see the lights at Temple Square in Salt Lake.
For our ward Christmas party the kids sang with their cousins the song "Parade of the Wooden Soldiers" It turned out really cute, Mason adn Kaden were soldiers and the girls were dollies.
This was actually the first Christmas thing we did this year but all my pictures went in the wrong order. Kaden got to put the angel on the top of the tree this year. He almost wouldn't let go of me enough to even reach the top. (We're in the basement, that is why the ducting is so close to our heads, Mark hits his head on it every now and then when he isn't paying attention.)
This didn't really start out as a pose for me, I was just handing out the decorations.
