December Festivities

December was JAM PACKED! but so, so GREAT!
We started December off with a field trip with CJ's Preschool to Mooney's Grove.
I feel sad because I had some great pictures on my good camera but unfortunately they were destroyed.  Thankfully, I also had some iPhone pics too.

 On December 3rd we were invited to go with some friends to their church's Jingle Jam and Elsa and Ana were there!

 On December 5th we wrote and delivered letters to Santa's mail box in Macy's!

 Later that night at the girls school we went to Christmas Craft Night.
The Abbott's were there too, so we crafted and took pictures with them.

 This is the camel costume I made for CJ to wear in our live nativity at the ward party.

 On Saturday, December 13th we decorated for the ward party,

 The kids waiting in line to visit Santa!

  It was such a beautiful night and the kids did an amazing job on the live nativity.
Gracie was Mary and Jackson Haubert was Joseph.

We finally got some snow in our mountains

 On Monday, December 15th we made and decorated gingerbread houses and cookies.
The Behan's hosted and the Hawke's and McElmoyl's were there!

 On Tuesday, December 16th and Thursday, December 18th the girls had their dance recitals.

 The girls got Christmas haircuts

 and Allie's hair was finally long enough to donate (and still have long hair)

On Thursday, December 18th we went caroling with our Joy School Group.
We made cookies to take to those we caroled to and then we had a party and gift exchange back at our house afterward.

 On Friday, December 19th Gracie had her 1st Grade Christmas Singing Performance.
She was so cute!

 On Sunday, December 21st we (the Behans and McElmoyl's) went to the Grinch house to see the amazing light show!
