Other Christmas activities

 Besides running around like crazy trying to get Christmas gifts, preparing for ward parties, not getting enough sleep, and trying to keep getting everything done that needs to be done we have been able to be a part of some fun activities. Here are some pictures of a few of them...

Well, it is a skirt, right? Ha ha!
Decorating for Christmas brings out
a whole new array of toys for S

Surprise party for Uncle John's 40th birthday

We visited the Living Nativity in Alpine. It was neat,
but not sure we want to be waiting in lines like that
in future, colder Decembers.

Mary, Joseph, and Baby Jesus at the Living Nativity--
definitely my favorite part. The camels were pretty
cool to see, too.

Making cookies with these cute girls

Staying with Aunt Cheryl (and then checking out her Nativity)
while Mommy and Daddy went to Daddy's work party.

I think we have a future mutton buster!

Dipping chocolates with my mom and sisters.
I haven't done this in a long time, but it was fun and
the fruits are delicious!

Each of us made different centers and split them all up
after they were dipped and set.

And, of course, we've been rockin' out
to Christmas music. S's favs are Michael Buble's
"Jingle Bells" and Bing Crosby's "Let it Snow!"
(Makes me proud =)
Here she's making some music all her own!
