Tylers christmas preschool concert

Tyler did a great job at his concert , he is so full of excitement and giggles. It was really fun to watch .
It was really cute how he stood up when santa came in the room and went up to him and gave him hugs.

Christmas lights at the temple

Carols at the temple was cancelled this year due to rain. We still had fun walking around the temple grounds looking at the lights..well not really walking more like running chasing the kids especially Eliza who was touching all the lights and picking the flowers. Fun night the temple grounds looked beautiful.

FHE AND CHRISTMAS IN OUR HOME THIS YEAR.

Family home evening this week we made snowflakes so we could add something to our tree that reminded us of our family in minnesota and Utah that we love so much. We have told the kids about all the snow you had in Mn and they have been pretty excited to see pics . We had fun making the snowflakes a little trouble getting those snowballs to stick, especially as we were in the heat outside :) but still fun. Then we finished off with rootbeer floats for our treats yum.
Our tree this year has more crafty decorations from the kids and i dont know if you can see but none of the good baubles are on the bottom as Eliza likes to pull them off and bowl them down the hallway.
Alicias tree topper is kinda different to what we are used to seeing her head at the top of the tree but she is proud of her craft and Tyler well he came home with this decoration from pre-school and i hung it as a stocking..but he told me it was a reindeer...oops.
Christmas just gets better and better as the kids get older and have so much excitement.
