Christmas 2013

December was a whirlwind of fun.  We started off the first day of December by putting up the tree.  This year we decided to buy an artificial tree.  It was so nice!  I didn't have to worry about the kids knocking it over or not giving it enough water.  It was also really nice not to put lights on the tree.

Jackson is in the language Immersion program they just started this year and is learning Spanish.  He got to ride on a float for the Midnight Madness parade in Rigby.

Then of course we had a ward party.  It was really fun!  The kids wore pajamas, had breakfast for dinner and saw Santa.  Probably the best party we've been to.

Grandma and Grandpa came up on Christmas Eve and we had Brocolli Cheese Soup and Ham.  Christmas Eve is always so fun.

Christmas morning we tried something different.  We got up and made a breakfast of crepes with chocolate pudding and strawberries.  We were able to talk a little bit about Christ during breakfast to remember what we are actually celebrating.  Then we got dressed (most of us) and opened presents.  It was great to make the excitement last a little while longer.

Bo is such a morning person! :)

It was my family's turn to spend Christmas together so most of them made it and there was enough snow to pull the kids around the neighborhood.  It was fun spending time with everyone.  The holidays are so fun!
