Merry Christmas

There is snow on the ground, school is out, the class Christmas parties are over, most of the presents are wrapped or at least bought so now it is time to pack for Cheyenne. We are always excited to go home for Christmas!

Christmas Party

Friday night was our Ward Christmas party. The primary did a little play and Zach played a cold beggar that needed shoes. Natalie talked to Santa Clause for the first time and Madeline got a chance to talk to him as well. Zach as usual avoided Santa. I think that he has talked to Santa only once in his whole life (besides letter communication.) It was a fun night and the kids had fun with their friends.

The Nutcracker

Zach had his 4th grade performance of the Nutcracker yesterday. He was a dancing candy cane flute. He was pretty cute if I do say so myself!

O Christmas Tree, O Christmas Tree

The Christmas Tree is decorated! One of our Christmas traditions is that the kids get their new Christmas p.j.'s when we decorate the tree. Then we all decorate in our pajamas. Instead of P.J.'s Molly the dog received new antlers. Brig called her Hollidog. Then Zach played us some Christmas music on the piano and Madeline made some of her own ornaments. Maybe next week I will be posting pictures of the outside of the house with lights. We haven't put outside lights up in over 5 years. So maybe this year is the year!
