| Reading Christmas stories with the kids by the fireplace is one of my favorite traditions. We just started it a couple of years ago and I love it. This year I was only able to read one story before rushing off to choir, but Suz took my place when I left. |
 |
| I love this cute preschool gift Luke made at school. It lives by my bed. |
 |
| Note to self: whenever you explain to a child that the ornament they are holding is one that's very special to you, go ahead and remove it from their hand. Immediately. |
 |
| We made ornaments and other trinkets using pipe cleaners and plastic beads. This is another activity we started shortly before I left for choir and I was surpsied to find out the next day that Eliza enjoyed this so much that she used up all of the beads making stuff. |
 |
| I was so, so, so thankful for a little choir break on Saturday morning so I could just relax with the family. We watched Elf, ate chocolate chip cookies, made hot honey-lemon-water for my throat, and took pictures with BB-8. |

| Bethlehem dinner the Monday before Christmas - |

| followed by reading/singing/acting out the Christmas story. |
 |
| The kids just grabbed whatever they wanted out of the scripture dress-up box, which includes things that are more Book of Mormon-ish, and things that are more Bible-ish. I think Joseph's headdress is the best. |

| Luke: Look! It's a nut-soldier! |
The night before we left on our trip, I took the kids to see this cool light
display about 15 minutes from our house. We sat in the car and watched
the show and listened to the designated radio station for about 20 minutes
before heading back to Orem to get Cat to YW. The next day, our travel
adventure began!
Beautiful!
