December Joy

December was full of fun!

Here is Josh sitting on Santa's lap.

Sort of.

Hey.... It's an improvement from last year!

Last year, he wouldn't even stay in the

same room with Santa! :)

(He REALLY wanted that candy cane!)

And here...

we have our own personal Santa!

This girl LOVES to dress up!

This is the opening song in our Family Home Evening.
It's that same one every week.

Popcorn popping! So cute...

Paige made a gorgeous gingerbread house at Activity Days.

We went to Skyler's Christmas band concert.

It was so fun! He even had a solo.

(I'm not talking, "Was that him? Was that the solo?".

It was more like "This is Skyler on the saxophone

and here is this microphone right next to him.")

And he ROCKED it!

I was just a tiny bit proud. :)

Here are the kids at their annual

Christmas piano recital at the nursing home.

Adorable.

Just before Christmas, we

participated

in the live nativity.

This is my favorite tradition!

Christmas morning!

Trey got a vibrating football game.

Totally old school and he loves it.

Paige got a fun desk for her room.

Now she has a quiet place to draw all

her wonderful pictures!

Skyler got a Kindle.

I'm not sure if that one was

really for Skyler, or more for

Mom and Dad.

Good thing he shares!

Josh got lots and lots of things that GO!

He was really into it this year,

which makes it super fun for all of us.

He scattered reindeer food out, the night before,

like his life depended on it! :)

The boys got r/c helicoptors from grandma.

And this is Dad...

in yet another tree...

retrieving a helicoptor in trouble. :)

Too funny!

We had a wonderful December.

Much to be thankful for!

Merry Christmas!!! :)
