Catching up

I've kind of fallen out of the blogging world for a couple weeks. I think Christmas cards are to blame. So here are just a few things I'll want to remember:

1. A family bowling trip

2. A wonderful Thanksgiving with friends from church and the missionaries.

We made this cute little turkey basket at the library family story time.

I always love having the missionaries in our home. And it's fun to get them on a holiday 'cause they can be a little more relaxed. We've got a great duo here right now and they're super fun with the kids. This video is for their mommies.

3. The Holly Days Parade

We got to ride the float with Santa!

4. First Snow Fall, although we haven't seen any snow since and it's supposed to be in the 50s this week! That's fine with me!

Aaron had just put these babies on the night before (so I feel better about our 24 HOUR DRIVE to Idaho!)

5. Live Nativity

Dillon and Wesley were such cute shepherds. When Wesley came out in costume he spread his arms out to the side and yelled, "Ta da!" It was tricky to get pics of the actual performance, but you get the idea.

Caleb was so cute all bundled up.

Aaron and I sang in the nativity choir and also did a duet as part of the music performance. We did Sally Deford's What Child is This? It's a great arrangement.

We also sang as a family at an assisted living facility with some friends last week. It was so fun. Dillon was so great with the residents. They requested us come back for Easter!

I can't believe December is nearly half way over. Christmas is literally around the corner!!!
