December 2012

December and Christmas time was fun filled. Here are a few snapshots of our activities.

The girls riding the Polar Express at the Elementary School Winter Wonderland

 

 Watching the Parade of Light in downtown Chandler. This was our first time going, which is silly because we lived 2 miles away from it before and now live about 15 miles.  We will plan to go in other years as well.

 

Nathan had his first ever band concert. He is a percussionist and he really enjoys playing.

The girls and I at the school Jingle Jog. Taylor was adamant on wearing sandals that day and towards the end her feet were wet and frozen. It was one of those "Mother knows best situations."

We went to see the Temple Christmas lights one night along with half the state of Arizona.

 Meeting Santa. Amanda was all but pleased with the encounter.

Family pictures in our Christmas Sunday Best.

Christmas Eve

Modeling their new pajamas.

 Posing with cookies, milk and thank you notes to Santa.

 Christmas morning.

Amanda loved her stocking candy the most.

The girl in their new Barbie Jeep.

It has already provided hours of entertainment and am certain many more hours to come in the future.

 Playing their new Disney Just Dance Wii game. It was the ideal Christmas day. Most of us stayed in our pajamas all day and just played with all our new things and hung out at home.  Loved it.
