O Holy Night

 We went to our ward Christmas party and it was so nice. I was amazed at how well it was decorated. The tables were all lite with candles and the manger scene was beautiful.They performed the Nativity Story and sang songs through out the telling.We have some talented people in our ward.

 They also prepared a nice dinner of ham, rolls, cheesy potatoes, green salads rolls and of course dessert.

We all had an enjoyable evening and we are so grateful to all who put in so much effort in preparing such a wonderful evening. It truly portrayed the true spirit of Christmas, being family and friends and remembering the birth of Christ.

 After the ward Christmas Party we decided to make some rice krispy treats. Lincoln is my little helper. He loves to help me make dinner and wash the dishes.

 Talan and I had a hard time keeping the marshmallows from sticking to our fingers, but we finally got them formed into balls.

 Enough sugar on that counter to kill us all.

 The boys and their ordainment.

Now it is time to snuggle up, watch Spiderman and enjoys our treats. Is there a better way to spend a cold, snowy winter night. I don't think so.

It was a cold and snowy day so Talan and I decided to do a craft project. We chose to make snowflakes out of Popsicle sticks.

We had a great time gluing and painting. Talan always wants to help me no matter what I am doing.

 

We hung it on our front door.I think that they turned out so cute.

It was time for our annual trip to see the Festival of Lights with Grandma and Grandpa Christensen. Talan is ready with his binoculars and his snuggie.

Lincoln having fun wearing cousin Brayden's hat.

All three boys were so excited to see the lights.

 

It is such a fun tradition to all pile in Grandma and Grandpa's car and listen to Christmas Music while driving through the lights.

 Who was more excited, Jason or the boys. Lol

 The lights were so pretty shining through the snow. We have not had snow for the last couple of years so it was so pretty to see them shining through it.

 Lincoln was back and forth over the seat. He couldn't decided if it was better with mom and dad or the boys.

 

Tons of lights, we always drive through twice.

 Jason and Lincoln giving me their best growl.

 We even got to see the big guy.

 Every year we stop and get ice cream. Most people would stop for hot chocolate but not us.

 Kady and Malena.

 Brayden and Talan trying to decide what kind of ice cream to choose.

 Love the face Talan.

 Of course the boys had to sit with their favorite cousin Malena.

All the boys wanted to sit on Malena's lap. They sure do love her.
I love this time of year because there are so many fun activities to do with your friends and family. We never get done all the things that we want to but we still have a good time trying.
