Our end of November and all of December was full of a lot of fun Christmas activities!
Zane got to start the Christmas season off by singing at our city's tree lighting with his school choir:
We put up and decorated the tree as a family the weekend after Thanksgiving:
The kids also opened their December 1st box, which had Christmas socks and advent calendars in them:
My cuties by the tree in their Christmas sweaters:
The tree looked so pretty all decorated and with the lights on:
We had our Grinch night, complete with Grinch-themed snacks and the oldest movie:
While Grandma and Grandpa Martin were in town, each kid got to open one present from them:
Hyrum got roller blades, Zane got a smoke breathing Bowser, Ivy got a Little Live Puppy, and Cora got an Alexa for her room:
The primary kids sang at our ward Christmas breakfast (one of Cora's last times to sing with the primary!):
We had Dallen and Cami over to make gingerbread houses one Sunday. Dallen made a pretty gruesome scene involving a giant and little gummy bear people. Cami made a colosseum replica with a gladiator scene inside:
Hyrum spent a long time carving this tiny cello out of a Hershey kiss:
I made some fun Christmas-themed food this year, including snowmen pizza, Santa pancakes, and a candy cane charcuterie:
Ryan and I got to attend the kids' Christmas sing at their elementary school, and it was so fun to see them perform! I also got to help at Ivy's and Cora's Christmas parties:
We donated at the Giving Machine, which is always a cool thing to do at Christmastime:
We went to the Riverwoods one night before Christmas, where they were supposed to be able to ride the merry-go-round for free, but it broke down while they were on it:
So we walked around and saw the lights and picture spots instead:
