Christmas 2013

We had a lot of sickness in our house the whole month of December. Thankfully, we were all better by Christmas Eve. Here are some things we did to celebrate the season: 

 The elementary school's Jingle Jam.  This was Allison's first Jingle Jam!  (I didn't get a picture of Matthew singing, only a video which I can't get to load on Blogger): 



Fun in the snow:







The Sunday before Christmas:



On Christmas Eve, we had the family over for dinner, a cousins book exchange, and the traditional Nativity. Corinne and Sydney organized the kids, and then Sydney read from Luke chapter 2. Corinne directed the Nativity.






I usually take a picture of my children on Christmas Eve with their stockings. I forgot to do it until after Shane was in bed, so he isn't pictured.



Santa came! 

(I designed a new gym bag for Corinne that says "I (heart) gymnastics".  Santa brought Allison Rapunzel and Flynn Rider barbies.)

(Shane got a ball track.  Great call by Santa because Shane played with this ALL DAY LONG.)



(Santa brought Matthew a nerf football, a BYU football jersey, and a Monster's University poster.)

(Corinne got some new leo shorts and dowel grips for gym in her new gym bag.)





We had a nice Christmas and continue to feel grateful for all of our blessings, especially our wonderful families, healthy children, Tyson's job, and of course our Savior, Jesus Christ. We are excited for what the new year will bring!
