The month of December sure flew by! This year we did an advent calendar with a daily family activity. The kids loved checking each morning to see what the activity was. Sometimes it was simply reading a Christmas book and other times it was a fun-filled outing. Here is a recap of the month:
Started off with our traditional trip to Bass Pro Shop:
Neither Devin or Owen liked Santa on this day!
"Ho Ho Ho!" Owen would go around the house saying.
Dad had lots of helpers this year with the outside lights.
Visiting the Mesa Temple lights
I always love to see the kids playing with our Fisher Price Nativity
Buddy the Elf came back this year to make sure the kids were well behaved.
Gingerbread House time!
One night we made snowflakes out of tortillas and they got a little toasty, with smoke everywhere. The kids were being human fans!
Maya's school performance - she is on the front row in the purple dress with the gray cardigan (I stayed home with sick kids and Dad doesn't go up front to get a good shot :).
Owen discovering his love for fry sauce on our "family date night"
Maya's Hip Hop Recital - not a great shot, but she was so cute and hip to the hop up there!
Candy Cane Lane
Kenyon's school performance - he is second row from the top in the center
Riding the quad and swimming on Christmas Eve
Decorating cookies for Santa
Playing games at Grandma's Christmas Eve Party
To be continued with Christmas Morning...
