Christmas Stuff

 Always a busy time of year, this year was no exception: 

• We went to the living nativity in Alpine. The weather was super warm and we got there right as it started. There were tons of animals this year to pet. It was perhaps the most pleasant year we've had there yet. 
• We did our Fisher-Price nativity 12 Days of Christmas this year with the Sincich's. It's getting to the end with them, though. This year, just Cam and Mindy came to make the bags. 
• The Teachers went through the Christmas lights at Ary Dye park. Chad had paid for an extra car, so Cass took the younger boys through 
• We went to the Kay party in Nephi. It's really amazing that it's still going on, but the numbers are getting smaller each year. Andrea and the kids came up for it, so after the party, we hung out in a pavilion and exchanged Christmas gifts by the light of our cell phones. 
• Shelly Elementary had its Christmas pageant. Cass and I got to go listen to all of the songs. The 4th grade sang. The 1st grade sang 'All I want for Christmas is my 2 front teeth, which was great since Quaid is missing 5 teeth in the front of his mouth right now!
• We had our Jerusalem dinner on the 22nd this year. It was awesome as always and is one of our favorite traditions. 
• The last picture is every Christmas card we've ever done. Pretty awesome that Cass makes them each year,and we can see them all in one place to see how our family has changed over the last 20 years.
