December Fun



Decorating the Christmas tree

We bought this train when Noah was about 2 years old. Jake was so excited when we set it up and has loved playing with it.

We have had so much snow this month. The kids had 3 snow days in a row! They spent a lot of time playing in the snow and lounging around in their pajamas. I spent a lot of time dressing and undressing kids in snow clothes and watching them out the window!

We had a great night out on the town! We were able to go to dinner and then to the Omaha Symphony Christmas program. It was nice to see the lights downtown and to enjoy a fun and relaxing evening. We have had 3 extra kids living with us for the past month. Some families in our ward decided they wanted to give our family a special gift and so they arranged for this night. The Symphony gave us the tickets for free and the families paid for our dinner. It was a very thoughtful gift and we had a great time.

Hey girl. I love your Family picture. You kids are so big and you look as cute as ever. Are you going to the next Woman's Conference? Laurel is talking on going and so am I. Maybe we can see you there.

Holly, you are wonderful! Seven, elementary kids at home on 3 snow days! Not to mention the Christmas season itself! I'm glad that your friends gave you that night out. It looks like it was a great time.
