Christmas Celebrations

Today was the last day of school and I was able to go help with a Christmas craft. It was a lot of fun and a little exhausting. After school we quickly changed the boys into warm and comfy clothes and headed out for our surprise destination. 

It was thrilling to pull up to the train station for the Polar Express train. So much magic! We had golden tickets, hot chocolate, cookies, listened to the polar express story, saw Santa, and received our own bell. It was a late and wonderful night. Great memories.

Santa

Tonight at the ward party the boys sang and also sat on Santa's lap. This is probably the best year yet for their interaction with Santa. They both wanted to go and told him what they wanted.

Christmas Magic

I love the magic of Christmas with these cute boys! Tonight I turned on some classical Christmas music and enjoyed the happy dancing with only the Christmas lights to see.  The boys busted out some great moves. Sawyer has tons of energy and Crew has so much grace and natural talent. 

This first picture melts my heart!

Christmas Tree Lighting

The Christmas tree lighting was a bit more packed than it was 2 years ago when we went. It was considerably warmer, had some really bad singing of Christmas carols, and an awesome firework display. Crew and Sawyer enjoyed dancing and the foam "snow" as well.

Bits of Randomness

I remembered last minute that we were supposed to complete a family project the morning it was due. We grabbed all the craft supplies and busted this out in about 5 minutes.


I sent out another round of thank you notes. It really helps me reflect on the blessings I have been given. I wouldn't have been able to make it through this without everyone's help and blessings from heaven.


My Mom painted a picture of our family for my birthday. I was able to frame it and I also framed an adorable picture that Crew made at school. 


My floors are getting regular cleaning!

Sawyer boy keeps me on my toes and laughing. The twinkle in his eye brings a great amount of joy... and sometimes a little bit of worry!



We visited Grandma Delva and ate some of the leftover pie from Thanksgiving




Scattegories at Delva's


Bike rides and mud.



 I missed a wedding but I had some pictures texted to me. I love this picture of my Grandma and Grandpa


 Boys enjoyed legos at Grandma's

 Christmas tree decorations and general fun between these two buddies. Their tree allows them to play with and mess with whatever they want. I don't have the need to "fix" anything. Although, it does look like they need to pick up their room. . .



 Abe was published in the Nevada Farm Bureau journal. It was fun to have a two page spread about him and his business expansion. Oddly, it drives me nuts that they put the wrong college, but Abe didn't care.
