Erika had another good year singing with her Tavaci group. Above is a picture at her Christmas performace this year. She sure loves to sing and really gets into it!
Kyle brought home this "ELF APPLICATION" one day from school and Aaron and I got a few laughs out of it! What a cute idea! He mentioned "we have an elf at home" because this year we DID have an elf come to our house. He came the night of December 6th, St. Nicholas day when the kids leave their shoes out and get yummy surprises left in them. Our elf appeared the next morning, straight from the North Pole to watch them and report nightly to Santa who was being naughty or nice. They had a lot of fun looking for him every morning as he would move to a new location in our house every night. It is so much fun to share the excitement the kids have for Christmas traditions!
Jordan's first time with Santa at the ward Christmas party |
We spent a few days before Christmas down at the Michel's. It was great for the kids to get the chance to play with their cousins and for siblings to spend time together, too. We went to grandma Schulz's Christmas party on Friday, Saturday we went on trax to Temple Square to see the Christmas lights. Sunday we had a big dinner and Christmas program and opened some presents. It was a really nice weekend!

We came home the morning of Christmas Eve (drove home in a blizzard). It was nice to spend Christmas at home with our own family. We had a little program that night with the traditional reading and acting out of the nativity and a lot of Christmas songs.
What an adorable little shepherd! |
What a great time of the year- when we can be reminded constantly of our Savior and the wonderful things he has done for us!
Christmas morning was nice, too. We enjoyed just staying home with our family, playing with some of the kids' new toys and being together.
HOOOOOOORAY!! I have been patiently waiting for updates!! These are darling. I LOVE THESE KIDS SOOOO MUCH. The parents are too bad either!
