It's Christmastime!

 Holidays are in full-swing.  It's fun and crazy.  Enjoy the photos!


The kids' ugly sweater party. 















Clark had a concert at BYU!  Wish we could have gone.  We were able to watch it online though!



My friend Megan has a bakery and makes the best things.  Look at these homemade chocolates!!!!

And the dessert platter....


Stake conference!  

Joy to the World practice after, with lunch!


Shanna wanted to straighten my hair, so...






Sunday nights...






Salvation Bell ringing at the mall!  Apparently people complained about the noise of the bell, so there wasn't one to ring. Lee downloaded a bell app on his phone and we used that. Oops! No one donated that night at all....





The kids had fun though. 

Haley went on an awesome trip for forensics class to the FBI building.  She has Jackie Woodall as a teacher and loves her and the class.  


It's been a few days, but Shanna's cut turned out so cute! 

Haley in DC!

It's fun seeing the "Love" sign being updated throughout the year and seasons. 

Got a fun package from Stephanie!  Spices from Penzeys.  So great!


We sang Christmas songs and hymns at a local nursing home.  

Ski day at school!

Fun seeing Haley's drawings. 

Haley joined in for ski day too. 

Lee and I attended a Christmas party for some ophthalmologists. I guess they do a small office party and then do a huge one later.  We went to the small one this year.  They had very fancy charcuterie boards and were shocked we didn't want any alcohol to drink.  

This is the invite for this years shin dig.  It will be fun to see what they do next year 'cause I want to go!

Time for some real skiing!  With Shanna and Haley's new jobs, they get to ski for free!

Ward Christmas party!






Had a young women welcome breakfast as well!  Emily, between Haley and Shanna, is the only new young women. There are four new deacons though!



Gun time.

One of our favorite things--the Bell's Christmas party! 


She also gets goodies for all the guests.  So fun. 


Hahaha, the parking!

Christmas piano recital! 


We enjoyed the Joy to the World concert as well.  It was a treat to be asked to offer the closing prayer. 

Elden and Liam suffered through it. 


A dusting of snow at Sylvia's!  She teaches the kids seminary. 

Too funny....we have hardly any at our house. 

Love Christmas card days!

Yummy goodies from awesome neighbors!

A little bit of snow....

Lee started working at the temple with me recently!  It's been great.  My friend at the temple, Jenny, hosted a holiday lunch for everyone on the shift. It was on a Wednesday when Lee and I don't work, but I was subbing for a friend, so was there anyway.  Loved being there!  Her house is so pretty too. 



The Daltons, our shift coordinators, gave these out to everyone-cute!

Fire burning for the young men!


Mike made this for me for our Christmas gift from them to us.  Can't wait to hang it up in the basement!
