The Night Before Christmas

We spent Christmas Eve with Adam's family...and we got an extremely rare photo of Lucy cuddling with Grandpa Joe. Actually, she looks a little worried, but I'm certain there are more cuddles to come!
And Aunt Alison got Uncle Josh some Batman pjs...just like Noah's. POW! KAZAM! Watch out Santa!

We had some cuddles with Lucy as well, and the girls loved standing right by Grandma as she zipped through about a dozen Christmas Carols. We had so much fun singing. And you can see the kids sporting their Christmas pjs.

We had such a great night... and loved reading about the birth of our Savior with the family. Christmas really could come more than once a year. I wouldn't mind at all.

Let it Snow, Let it Snow and Let it Snow Some More

Like most people in Utah, we got a ton of snow before and during Christmas. Spence went out and TRIED to clear the sidewalk. Adam shoveled the driveway three times in one day...and we decided it might be time to get a snowblower.

I was busy in the house doing something and Sophie asked if she could play in the snow.
"YeeEEEeeeS. Please play in the snow!"
Soon she came in looking for things for her snowman. I thought, "Oh, how cute, Sophie wants to build a little snowman..."
Little did I know it would be taller than she is, and planted right on our driveway. I said, "Sophie, did you build him all by yourself?" She nodded and said, "I've been practicing during recess at school."
I must say, I never built a snowman during recess...but maybe that's because I lived in California. Nice.

On the Second Day of Christmas My True Love Gave to Me...

TwO DaNcErS dancing.

Grace hip-hopped her way through Jingle Bell Rock.

And Sophie jazzed it up in Frosty the Snowman. Here she is warming up at home. Wow. Nice action shot.
Thanks for the fun Christmas Dance Concert girls.
