You're a Mean One, Mr. Grinch

We are super excited for Christmas!

The weather has been pretty warm lately and we have been having lots of fun doing Christmas activities.

Maddie's teacher gave this lesson in her class about the first Thanksgiving and Maddie wanted to do it for our family night. She told the whole story and did a great job!

Kinley was very excited to get her letter from Aunt Kalie

Maddie ready for the parade!

I made her skirt

This was the first time we had ever been to the parade.

It was really close to our house, so we just walked over.

Maddie's dance group was one of the first to go by

They handed out tons of stuff!

They dance to "Santa Claus is Coming to Town" about a million times

A few classic cars went driving by, and one of them was handing out free HotWheels!

For Christmas I really wanted my ring cleaned since it hadn't really been cleaned in about 5 years and was starting to get a little yellow. While we were on a date, we dropped it off at the jeweler's and got it back an hour later, looking brand new!

Tanner gave the scripture in Primary!

Doing her one-handed cartwheel

Playing Shopkins

Making truffles!

Maddie asked if she could help and ended up dipping and decorating all of them for me. She did a great job and is a good helper in the kitchen.

The Creche Interfaith Nativity night

The Live Nativity outside.

It was pretty cold, but thankfully not windy at all.

Uncle Ryan and Uncle Kyle watched the kids for us so we could go on a date to the crèche.

This is the first year we have Christmas lights on our house!

Thanks to a heads up from Tracy, we got them on sale last year.
