Merry Christmas - Week 4 / The Best Time of The Year

We hope that everyone had a Merry Christmas. We had a wonderful Christmas filled with a lot of activities and fun stuff. Sunday started us off with the Christmas program at church. Rylee and I joined the ward choir for the Christmas Program. Rylee worked really hard to learn the words of each song and followed right along with the music. They also wore their new Christmas dresses and shoes. They twirled everywhere we went and sent the sparkles flying. Dave & I were covered before church was over.

Christmas break is now in full swing. We had last minute shopping and baking to finish. Finally, Christmas Eve was here and we spent the day at home playing games, reading stories, watching movies. We decided to visit the St George Temple Visitors Center and see the lights to make the night complete. Just before we were to leave it started to snow. This is the first time since we moved here 14 years ago that we have had snow for Christmas.

Ryder loves Frosty. Each night he has to go and check on him and say hi.

Here the kids are enjoying the displays at the visitors center. It was still snowing and really cold outside so we spent most of our time watching the different movies and visiting with the missionaries.

The movie of the night was "A Christmas Story". The kids loved to see Ralph & his brother.

Christmas morning came and not so bright and early. The kids didn't wake up until 7:30 which really suprised me since Reganne couldn't fall asleep. She kept talking and asking guestions.

The perfect ending to the Christmas Hustle and Bustle. Too many presents, candy, games, movies. They finally crashed on our way to Mesquite for lunch. Here are my three Christmas Angels. To bad it only lasted for 1/2 hour and they were on the run again.

Best Present:

Rylee - Digital Camera

Reganne - Leap Frog Books

Ryder - Kit Kat Candy Bars & Yo Yo's
