A Bit of Our December

We started the month off with "One night in Bethlehem," an amazing production our ward puts on on every year for the community. When you arrive, you sit in the chapel and listen to musical numbers performed by members of the church while you wait for a tour. The tour is takes you to different rooms in church telling the story of Christ's birth. First, the shepherds' room, Jesus. Hundreds of people from the community attend. It is always very neat. This year our Jared played the role of Jesus.

I am the room mom for Dallin's 1st grade class this year and get to plan and coordinate all the classroom parties, with the help of other parents. This video is a game we played - two teams. You have to put on the santa hat, gloves, unwrap the gum, put it in your mouth, take it all off again and put it in the bag and pass it to the other person to do. Which ever team finishes first wins. The kids were so hyper and excited, couldn't contain themselves, except for Dallin of course. I had to take this video because he was cracking me up. So calm, among all the chaos.



3-D Polar Express with friends (Landen wanted to wear glasses too, but we only had four pairs so he got stuck with the "Magnifying glasses" He didn't know the difference and looked hilarious!
And hot chocolate




Santa!
Dallin and Isaac got what they asked for. Landen didn't ask. He was very silent and careful not to look at anyone, especially Santa.


Christmas Morning - Santa presents
A marble race for Landen

Darth Vader Lego ship for Dallin

Lego tank bomber (or whatever it's called) for Isaac. I wish I would've videoed this. Isaac jumped up and down at least 30 times .

We had a wonderful Christmas. The only thing missing was family. We love you and miss you all so much!
