On Sunday morning we all got dressed up in our Sunday/Christmas best and headed off to church! I can't believe we actually got a couple of good shots of the kids. (I admit, I was being a little, okay a lot, psycho as I was trying to take these in a hurry before running off to choir! I hope Santa will still come and visit me!)
Behind those beautiful smiles they're saying, "Please Mom, can we be done?!"
My friend, Erika, and her husband invited us over for a fun party. Santa came and Dallin finally got to tell him that he wanted a "dinosaur underwater sea diving guy." Man, it's amazing that Santa gets it right every time, even with a description like that! 
The boys and I spent some quality bonding time making gingerbread cookies for Santa to eat. 
They were YUMMY! We did manage to save a few for Santa though! Hmm, for some reason I really don't think Santa really needs them. 
Jenna is so excited for Christmas and loves her little reindeer that one of my past students gave me.
Yeah! We did it! We actually made a gingerbread house this year. (Okay, so I cheated a little and bought a kit, but at least I made time to do it!) Mom, I will never know how you had the patience to do several, made from scratch, each year! 
Okay, I look so stoned in this picture, (Hmm, could it be all the frosting and candy I ate?!) but I just think Brett is so dang handsome, so I had to post this!
Wait! Santa has aged a lot since the above picture with Dallin! (I just had to explain to Dallin that Santa can't be everywhere and sometimes has elves help him out! Whew! That was a close one!) Jared wasn't too sure about the whole Santa thing. He chatted with him from a distance, but wouldn't sit on his knee. I can't say I blame him! He asked for a cargo addition for his train set.
Jenna loved this first encounter with Santa. (The second one didn't quite go as well.) She asked him for princess clothes.
Look! It's Joseph and the Coat of Many Colors and Mary! Some of us had fun dressing up for our ward party and some of us didn't. And no, there will not be a baby filling that manger any time soon!
Once there was a snowman! Dallin and Jared built this cool dude all by themselves! Don't you love the leaf eyes? We still have a few inches of leaves under our snow!
We had a fun playgroup party at our house! The kids exchanged gifts, ate lunch and had a great time!

Yay! I finally made the time to check out your blog and your Christmas! I'm so glad I did. YOu guys look like it was super fun. Although we had a good Christmas the time building up to it was so busy it wasn't all that fun. And I totally tried to avoid that happening at all costs, but I honestly didn't know all that Primary would be keeping me busy with this time of year. Now that I know next year I'm starting in July! I hate busy Decembers and next year I intend to just play play play! Not to mention morning sickness hasn't helped any! love ya!
