The Perfect Day

Last weekend we had a great day! I felt like the Christmas season had officially begun at our house! We started with breakfast with Santa at Dallin's school.

There was a huge long train table set up, that was very cool!

Seeing Santa was great for dallin and Isaac, not so much for Landen

When we got home, mom was busy inside baking Christmas cookies

While dad was busy outside shoveling snow.

I wish I could say the boys were building a snowman in the backyard, but it wasn't quite so picture perfect. They were glued to the t.v. They discovered Harry Potter for the first time and thoroughly enjoyed it!

The highlight of the day was going to the church for the much anticipated and long awaited production of One Night in Bethlehem. Our ward put a lot of work and time and energy as they do every year to present this special night to the community. There was beautiful music and a tour led by a tour guide who took us first to a room where the shepards told of the night the angel came and told them of the birth of the Savior. Then we were led to the room where the wise men told their story, then an inn keeper, and finally a stable with the baby Jesus, Mary and Joseph. It was such a neat thing to be a part of. Hopefully I can post more pictures of it soon. The best part of that night was Dallin's friend from school and his family came!

They didn't want to be in the picture, but I put them in anyway!
