December

We started out our December by participating in our Ward's live Nativity Scene. Drew and I were Mary and Joseph and Kate was the baby Jesus. We were asked to tell the story of Mary and Joseph in our own words and we both got to bear our testimonies of Christ. It really brought the true meaning of Christmas into our hearts as we studied the scripture accounts of the birth of Jesus and were able to testify of him. Here is a picture. We took a little vacation and went up to the Harris family cabin for a few days. It was great to just go up and relax. It had not snowed yet so we got to go out and take a little nature hike. We had a fun Christmas Potluck dinner with some of our friends and had yummy food and a fun time playing Catch Phrase. The girlfriends- Kate, Parker and Eliza The kids got to see Santa at the bank, or the Piggy Bank as Isabelle calls it. Christmas Eve we went out to eat with Drew's family and after Christmas morning we had a delicious Prime Rib dinner at Drew's parents house. Will was really excited for Santa to come. Both Will and Isabelle went right to bed on Christmas Eve because we told them that Santa would not come to our house until they were asleep. They slept in until 8:45 then we went out and saw what Santa bought us. Will loved his Bumblebee Transformer and Hot Wheels track and Isabelle was really excited to get a Sleeping Beauty Barbie and Little People pet salon. Kate just loved all of the excitement and her fun new toys. After Christmas we went up to the cabin again but this time there was lots of snow. We were there for six days. We spent the first few days with my brothers Roger and David and their families. Then Drews family came up and we spent New Years eve playing games and eating lots of treats. Sledding with Uncle David Here are two great video's from December. The first is of Kate. She is a little crazy, she loves it when Drew throws her in the air. Listen to her laugh. The second movie is of the kids taking a bath at the cabin. I guess Kate was hungry.
