Merry Christmas

I'm still listening to Christmas music in case anyone was wondering:-) I'm not ready to Be done yet. I love the glow of the colored lights in the kitchen, and the the quiet reverent music in the morning. I have just really enjoyed this Christmas season. I love the snow, I even love driving in it.

We did some fun activities this year with the girls. We made it to see the lights at temple (even if we were all a little grumpy leaving) Nathan took me to the Kurt bestor Christmas concert, which is a tradition I love doing with him each year. We took the girls to The Grand America one night to look at their fun window displays. They also had free hot chocolate stations set up all over the place :) yum. We had hot chocolate at home just about every day. We did some sledding. My parents have a great little sledding hill in their back yard, which was perfect for the girls. We decorated gingerbread homes, took a ride on the Polor Express, had family parties...... But I think one of my favorite little memories from this season, was loading up in the car with the girls taking Beck to and from school and listening to Christmas music, and singing with them. The minute we got in the car Rachel or Beck would say "can we listen to the Christmas station please!?" I also loved hanging in our pjs and watching Christmas shows, with the munchkins.

Good by Christmas, I already can't wait to celebrate again next year....

Beccas school Christmas sing along.
Lord family Christmas party. Livy was baby Jesus, Rachel was Mary and Beck was an angel.

Christmas shopping with my mom and sister on a very snowing day :)

Riding on the polor express!

Bought our very first car after 8 years of being married! We were pretty excited about it :-)

At my parents house watching Rudolph the red nose reindeer with the cousins.

What a fun Christmas!! We still have our tree up! I don't want it to be over either! I miss being in Utah for the Holidays! Good times!

Okay, that post just about tricked me into loving winter! :) I have to assume you were being sarcastic about even loving to drive in the snow though - nobody can be that crazy! You're right though, there is definitely something cozy and magical about the holiday season. I think I will be less of a grinch when I have kids to help create the magic for. :)

even though we see you often, I still love to see your pictures & can't get enough of them (you know how I love pictures!)! And where did you get that headband wrap for Olivia's hair in the picture with the girls in front of the tree -- I want one for Emilia!
