December review...

I just didn't have enough time to post all the pictures from December. December is such a busy month and I often found myself feeling stressed and grinchy. I am so glad I overcame those feelings and enjoyed the season. I Welcome January and say goodbye to all that craziness for another year!

Visiting Santa (Grand kids)All the grandchildren at my Grandpa's would be 100th birthday party. When my Grandpa turned 80 a birthday party was held at the Lion House. To celebrate his 100th birthday we all met and recreated the party. It was a very special night where we shared memories, good food. The most amazing part was that all of us attended, every child and Grandchild. I plan to share some of the very special things I learned about him (that I did not know) from that party later.


Hailey and I
Christmas Parties


Dessert at a fancy restaurant (La Caille)
Kids all dressed up for dessert...
Night in bethlehem, we all dressed up...
Alan and Jacob were the wise men in the live nativity. Jacob was so reverent.
Christmas dresses (they were promised a big treat if they smiled big and so they did)

LOVE the pictures! I know I say this all the time, but your kids are absolutely adorable! I'm glad you found time to share atleast a few pictures, they really are great! Thanks for the advice on my blog, I really hope to use some of them. I also love the idea below this post about spending one on one time with each child. I am sad to say that I often treat Latoya the same as you do Lindsey. Isn't it so hard, ughhh. She's the one I'm most worried about. Anyway, I hope you have a great week!

I used to love going to that production of the Nutcracker each winter. We'd also go to Handel's Messiah at the tabernacle too.

Haven't ever been to La Caille though . . .

As crazy as the month of December usually gets, there sure is alot of love and fun that gets thrown into everything which makes it all worth it in the end! Always lots of memories.

p.s. I tagged you for a game. Check my blog for details.
