a few happenings this december

 we started out this month by putting up our Christmas tree.
this year we put the breakable ornaments up high and then just let the kids have at it.
 we ran over to a church by our house and snapped this picture of the four of us for our Christmas card. And because i am so scattered brained i lost some of them.
so if you didn't get one don't feel bad. 
i can't find my copy either:(
 making our traditional Christmas ornaments that the littles make by themselves and hand out on Christmas. Check out my handsome man working on his ornament.
 in draper they have the most beautiful huge lighted tree that i believe they call the tree of life.
it was so beautiful.
we didn't dress warm enough however and froze just a little bit.
the kids had fun running around and daddy and grace taught emmet how to roll down the hill.
 mary jingles (merida) our elf on the shelf.
this was where we found her on her first day this month.
little e playing behind the christmas tree.
betty also enjoyed sleeping under the tree until she had her puppies.
There were plenty of leaves hanging around this december which lead to a fun afternoon of raking.
we were lucky enough to wake up to a beautiful white Christmas.
i was sleeping with grace and she woke up and immediately peeked out the window and in the most excited voice said, "mom it snowed!!!!"
best way to start Christmas day.
