Christmas Time Fun!

I can't believe that Christmas is this week. We have had a very busy December, doing all sorts of fun Christmas activities! Gracelyn is very interested in all of our Christmas traditions this year and that has made this holiday season just that much more fun. Here are some of the fun things that we've been up to this month!

Decorating our Christmas Tree-
Gracelyn was a big help this year and had a very firm idea about where each ornament should go!


























Christmas Lights-
As always, we went to our special Christmas house to see the amazing lights. In addition to his entire front yard and house being filled with lights and decorations, this man lets you walk through the entire 1st floor of his house that is full of Christmas knick knacks, and then out into his back yard where there are thousands of more lights! We have been going to see this house as a family ever since Josh and I started dating. Gracelyn was especially thrilled with his "snow" this year (a little pond in his front yard filled with soapy bubbles :)

































Our Family Christmas Party-
We had a great time with the family, eating yummy snacks and desserts and watching all 11 grandkids dive into their presents! They were all so excited about opening each present and with so many kids you can imagine the anticipation that filled the room as each one waited for their turn!






















On Tuesday, we will be heading up to Utah for Christmas. We are all looking forward to seeing our family there and having a white Christmas. Gracelyn is so excited to see the snow and go sledding with Papa and Nana!
