Christmas Caroling

 On the night of Jake's work Christmas Party my mom had everyone over to our house including the Lawrence's to celebrate Christmas. We were able to be there for dinner and caroling. I don't like to Christmas Carole but it's so fun for the kids. Most of everything we do is for our kids, right?! They are so darling!

 After caroling and dinner Jake and I left and everyone stayed for our Christmas Tradition of the Nativity.

 Then brownies and icecream...yum!

 Tate made the perfect baby Jesus! :) Brenna, the perfect Mary. She's so beautiful!

Christmas with Grammy

Tonight we celebrated Christmas with my mom cause Sophi and Rich are leaving for Utah tomorrow to spend Christmas with Rich's family. We enjoyed each other, great yummy food, singing songs together, we went caroling to Grannie's neighbors together (that was a scary sounding sight!) :) Jake was so much fun, singing super loud, the missionaries were with us and I heard them say when they were walking behind me to the next house, "that guy is nuts! But, so awesome!" haha Oh, so much fun just being together!

 Lucy loved her puppets Grammy got her, she was eating them, they were so very soft! SO CUTE! :)

 The chaos begins, opening presents!

We are SO grateful for our mom, for our Grammy!

Christmas Cheer!

Tonight me and the kids went with Jake and the cubscout pack to sing Christmas Carols to some elderly people. I had a really stinky attitude and didn't want to go, Jake wanted us to so I was going for him and I'm so glad we did. What a great way to bring the spirit of Christmas to your heart. The scouts and Jake did a skit, that was put together by Kirby and was so cute. So fun singing carols with Kirby's guitar. Seeing the smiles on all the faces made it all worth it to me and I just love my husband, he was great in the skit and he is so much fun, he was yelling out the fun words when we were singing Rudolph. :)

Caroling with the Scouts!

(Thanks Heather D. for the picture!)

About a week ago, the cubscouts went caroling to the elderly and we got to join Jake. We loved singing and loved watching all the grandma's and grandpa's enjoy the music and even sing along. Brother Heyborne played the guitar and it was such a nice touch. The kids went caroling down the halls afterwards and then they got to eat donuts in the parking lot! A fun filled evening!
