It's CHRSTMAS!!!

Christmas was Sunday this year. Luckily our church was at 1 so we got to enjoy our morning and then go to church. We facetimed the whole time the girls opened gifts so we didn't really take a ton of pictures. But we had a wonderful day. We love our family and we are so eternally grateful for our Savior. 

 So much more snow today! It just keeps coming! When we have nowhere to go I say, Let it snow! 

 AJ got a guitar from mom and dad. Dad and AJ are starting to learn together. 

Christmas is coming!

It's almost Christmas! Time for traditions and more fun! 

 The Mehls came to play. We love it when they come. They were able to watch AJ do her first Jazz Band performance as the solo singer! She did awesome!!!

 Hot chocolate, crafts and cookies with the Malms and Allens. We love our friends! 

 First time sledding for the year! Fun group of kiddos!

 Who doesn't want free ice cream from DQ??

 Brylee at the TaVaci party 

 We had such a fun night. We went to the midnight light parade in Rigby. Saw Santa and had yummy food. Then we went to Journey back to Bethlehem. It was so neat! We had food like they would have, made older style crafts and we walked through the nativity story. It was very well done and very worth it.
