December Mash up

Why is it that everything is scheduled in December?  Every concert, performance and party gets crammed into a few short weeks.  At least it's a fun kind of energy!  We took the youth up to Temple Square to see the lights and we had a great group.

Tornado stole the show in his kindergarten Christmas music concert...

... and Sunshine wrote a very ironic poem about Wilbur the pig.

We rode the new Frontrunner train for the first time!  Very cool.

Tornado excelled on his basketball team, scoring in nearly every game.

We visited a live nativity put on in Alpine.  There were live animals, Roman soldiers and long lines.  We didn't make it til the end, due to the long hours in the cold.

Thunder had a great birthday!

He loved his presents from the kids the most.

We took our trip to see the lights on his birthday, so some of the leaders surprised him with cupcakes.

The boys really loved the choir-side our youth sang in.

A little bored one day...

... and a sweet project on another day.

Sunrise's preschool class got to visit the post office.  How fun!  I had never visited there before either.

The cabin has the best sledding.

We went down to Provo for their huge New Year's Eve party! The whole mall was transformed into kid fun stations and demonstrations.  We had a great time.  But we were still home by 9:00  :-)
