All is Merry & Bright

It's truly the most wonderful time of the year, busy, but wonderful. 

We kept ourselves in the spirit of Christmas by going to the Christmas parade, decorating cookies, building gingerbread houses, crafting, & having school parties!

We even got our very first inflatable! It's a cute little penguin. 

Both the kids were in the choir, so they got to perform in their Christmas programs. They both did an excellent job. They had practiced for months and it showed. I was so very proud of them both. It was awesome as a parent to watch them worship our Savior during such a special time. 

Kinley just sang her little heart out.

This was actually at Dylan's dress rehearsal. 

We also got outside and did a lot of hiking these last couple months because the weather was so unseasonably warm!

And what December would be complete without a trip to see the big jolly guy himself? This time with Santa was magical! Kinley just kept staring at him. She was memorized. Dylan just joked around with him. :) 

And lastly, our 2015 Christmas card!
