December Activities

Here in Utah every Christmas you have to go see the lights at temple square. It is tradition, and pretty much every one does it! It is always beautiful. Olivia took a nap on the way over this year and if you know Livie, you know she turns into a BIG crab if she takes a nap. It takes her about an hour to snap out it. So- pretty much the whole time we were walking around looking at lights Olivia was a crab. She was pushing her sister, giving people crusty looks, and complaining all the way. Other then that, the trip was nice ;) The weather was perfect that night and Claire was sweet as a peach. We've had quite a lot of snow the past few days. We had a couple feet to shovel off the drive way. It is beautiful, but cold and wet!

Merry Christmas

This is a thank you letter to Mary, Joseph, and Jesus. It was Olivia's idea to write them a letter to say than kyou for what they did. The pictures are of Mary on a donkey, Jesus in the hay, and Joseph just standing there. I love her art work! She is just so sweet.

Cindy... WHO?

We were told Olivia looks like Cindy Lou Who from the Grinch... What do you think? I say of all the who's I would definitely want to look like Cindy Lou!!

So cute

The girls are so funny. Most days they put on clothes they find around the house. The other day Claire put on my big warm socks ;) Other days it is undies on the head and they call them hats!

Let there be light!

We finally did it! We have lights on our house! And they actually look good! We have had bad bad luck when it comes to lights. I mean this is our 6th Christmas together and we have finally done it right. We hired a professional!!

Every year we have tried to get lights up and every year we have failed. Our first year (pictured below) we accidentally purchased indoor lights and they looked terrible. I think we put them up again the 2nd year anyway. The 3rd year we purchased outdoor lights but the were "cool"white and they made our house look like a creepy halloween house. They were also not very straight and we had lights in places they shouldn't be. We couldn't figure out how in the world you put lights in only the spots you wanted them. Then last year we tried again, but we just couldn't find lights ANYWHERE like what we wanted. So this year- we hired a professional. Now we have a set of lights that will fit our house perfectly every year. And they are pretty colors. ;)
wow- it looked really awful....sad!
