The Christmas festivities!

The Christmas season flew by so fast as it always seems to but, we enjoyed our usual traditions along with some new ones!

Grace needed an ugly Christmas sweater for Young Women's so Dad just whipped up this little beauty on the sewing machine right before she left!

Making Gingerbread Houses with some of our Favorite people-The Newton Family.

Sleeping under the tree

Grace did not want to sit on Santa's lap this year but, knowing that her mom wanted a picture she obliged and even smiled for me!

Claire LOVED Santa! She couldn't stop hugging him!

                                      

Claire was an angel at her preschool's Nativity performance.

Logan won a huge duck from a contest he entered-he was so excited!

Our family picture this year!

The ward service project was collecting food in a local neighborhood. It was so fun! Santa Claus was there and we rode on the back of trailers and collected food. Then went back for hot chocolate and cookies.

Christmas school programs!

Silly girls....

Grace had her first voice recital. She was so nervous and excited! She did a great job!

Ski Season and The jungle jump a roo

Our annual ski season fitting session arrived and we were all so excited to ski again! It's quite the sight to have all 7 kids lined up getting fitted for all their ski gear! 

Nana and Papa gave all the grandkids a "jungle jump-a-roo" for Christmas and their birthdays for the year. It was the greatest gift! The kids were all so excited when it arrived and ran over to the Cain's to get Bridger and Sawyer (who were also anxiously awaiting the arrival of the new toy!) so they could jump on it.
