December 2012


December was a busy month like usual.  But one of my favorite months.  Busy with all the crazy things that fill our calenders, the holiday prep and the Christmas festivities.  
Sydney and Tyler were in their Elementary school choir and performed Christmas carols at the mall, the school and the grocery store.  After one of the performances I took the three little boys to lunch after at Wingers.  
We tried our best to get family Christmas pics.  



 One of the crazy highlights was going to Temple Square to see the lights.  We also enjoyed going to City Creek. 


But by far, one of the BIGGEST highlights of the month was the Sunday before Christmas.  We had a wonderful Christmas dinner with Stacey and Kirk and their boys.  Shortly after dinner we were surprised by a giant knock on the door.  IT WAS SANTA!!  We were all shocked, like really shocked!  Santa gave each person a gift as well as discussed how "good" they have been all year.  It truly was magical.  Come to find out Santa knew where we were because he was a friend of Kirks (wink).  The entire evening was one we will never forget.
Chayce and Chandler were real thrilled with the entire night.  They didn't even want to share their gift of cars from Santa Clause.
Chad and I got a special gift.  A framed painted picture of the Timpanogos Temple.  A treasure for sure.  We were both touched not only by the gift but by the entire evening.



Christmas day was a good one.  The kids were all thrilled.  Lets just say it definitely was an "Electronic" Christmas this year.



We enjoyed a yummy Christmas dinner at Grandma's with Kirk's fajitas, Jeff and Sherri's Guacamole and Salsa and Tortillas from Cafe Rio.

The end of December means Nicholas Birthday.  He turned 3 years old and celebrated by going to McDonalds with his best buddie Traverse.  
The last few day we got dumped on with snow.  Nicholas enjoyed shoveling with his "Nicholas sized" shovel.
