December Fun

We have a busy month.  Here is a few shots of what's going on.

We started the month off with decorating our gingerbread house.  This year, we just made one -- which was much more fun for me than trying to help everyone make their own! 

 We are all getting excited about Christmas around here!

 I had some fun Young Women activities to help bring in the Christmas Spirit too.  We trekked to temple square one week, and decorated cookies another.  Felice made the cutest cookie if I do say so myself!

 Then we took the whole family to see the lights at the temple.  It was fun because Heather's family and Kirk's family came too.  We wanted to try out the Front Runner... and we rode the train to and from Temple Square.  The kids loved it and it was actually cheaper than driving.  15 bucks for our whole family.

 The best part of seeing the lights is going ice skating at the Galavan Center.  We look forward to it every year.

 

 Seeing the big cousins help the little ones just makes my day!  Love all these kids.

 Felice's first time on skates.  She is excited to learn how to get better, but she was really nervous. :)

 There were some cool candy displays at the Macy's in City Creek.

 Love my people!!!

 A big group shot of us all!

Of course, if there is snow we have to build a snowman.  Sam and Laura made a pretty cute one if I do say so myself.

 Here is their "selfie" with the cute little carrot man!

I don't think my kids will ever get sick of snow and sledding in it.  Here is Sam and Nate below being pulled behind the 4-wheeler.

 And... when the 4-wheeler isn't available (aka dad's at work), they use their own brute force to have some fun.

It's cold, but it's always fun to play in the snow.
