Our busy December...

We have had a busy month of December! We are excited for the Christmas season. There have been lots of fun activities. Here are a few of them...

My sister and her husband welcomed a new baby in June. They live in Michigan. We were anxious to meet little Kira. Cindi and Jeff decided to surprise the family for Christmas (I was in on the secret, so not much of a surprise for me). Josh loves spending time with his new cousin.

Josh's new favorite thing to do is play cowboy. He is constantly running around the house in all his western wear. Looks like it's a Cowboy Christmas for us...

For family night we decorated ginger bread houses. I think Josh and Ryan had more fun eating the candy. Sadly, the house was demolished by the next morning. Josh ate all of the candy, most of the frosting and some of the gingerbread...

We went down to see the lights at Temple Square. Not sure if we were going to make it. Josh got sick after we finished dinner. Luckily he started to feel better. As always, he was mesmerized by the fountains. We saw the "Big Jesus" - the Christus statue. I think Josh's favorite part was riding the front runner to Salt Lake.

I just couldn't resist this picture. Perhaps we have a future plumber?...

Riding on trax downtown...

Josh's preschool class took a field trip to see the Christmas Village. A few of us rode the front runner. Just as we got off, the trolley was ready and waiting. Mrs. Claus gave us a personal tour of the village...
