Christmas is Coming

Another week closer to Christmas and the kids are getting more and more excited. We have filled our time with lots of fun Christmas crafts and activities.


Last year the primary gave Hudson his first copy of the book of Mormon, with the challenge that we read it all by the end of the  next year. We have read a little with him almost every night. Sometimes he has loved it and sometimes not, but it has been a wonderful activity for our family.  This month we finished it, largely because he has made sure that we never forget. I'm really proud of him for accomplishing his goal this year and I hope he will continue to treasure his time with the scriptures.


We attended our ward Christmas party.  The theme was a "night in Bethlehem" and we had fun dressing up the kids.


I took the kids to the festival of trees. It sent them into a Christmas crazed frenzy.  I could hardly keep track of Ellie as she darted in between trees running like an elf on crack.  She turned the event into quite the treasure hunt for me. Every time I got close to her I discovered she had removed another ornament from one of the over 100 decorated trees. It was then my job to try and find the correct tree and return the missing ornament.
