Someday at Christmas...

To celebrate this most wonderful season we:
~Went to the Live Nativity at the Provo Tabernacle. This is always a favorite tradition of ours. This year was even better since they moved it indoors and we didn't have to freeze! It was such a good way to start the season off.







It was a lot of fun to get to go outside afterwards and see all of the fun animals of the Nativity.








~Had a visit with Mr. Santa Claus & the wife. The kids were convinced that this was the real one. He totally fit the bill. Some were more enthused than others to sit on his lap:~Celebrated my Grandma Henricksen's 95th Birthday and got a chance to catch up with my extended family. ~Celebrated St. Nick's Day with the kiddos putting their shoes out overnight. They got some Christmas books, a gingerbread house, and the LEGO Nativity which brought lots of fun to our house every day in December.
~Played in the snow a bit:







~Went to the Festival of Lights with our friends the Tongs and the Hoens and then had some fun at the Tongs afterwards.
















~Skylar and Ben went on a date to see the Nutcracker Ballet:
~Woke up to cinnamon rolls delivered by the oldest girl in the house on St. Lucia's Day:
~Went on a chilly, but very fun and beautiful Christmas Cruise on the Provo River where we got to see the big guy again. The kids pointed out that he was definitely not the real one:















~Watched our adorable Joy School kiddos put on our annual Nativity for one of our Joy School kid's Great-Grandma and then again at our Joy School family Christmas party:~Went to a Jordan Family Christmas Party with many in attendance, including Great-Grandma & Grandpa Jordan.
~Had a light scavenger hunt with our friends, the Coxs, and saw some cool light displays.~Had a wonderful, yet always too short Christmas season and loved just about every minute!
