Pre Christmas December 2015

This year we celebrated our 2nd anniversary of being in this house which happens to be on the same day as the 8th anniversary of our temple sealing with Seth.  That's pretty crazy to me!  December is so fun.  I love all of the holiday festivities, and the spirit and excitement of the season.  We started the season off with a trip to find a Christmas tree.  Actually choosing a Christmas tree is always a struggle, but the sledding and adventure combined with a bucket 'o bagels and a trip to Big J's is always fun.  Ian's also showing off his first lost tooth.  We didn't even know it was loose and all of a sudden it was gone with a big tooth right behind it.

We took our annual trip to Salt Lake to see the lights, do some shopping, swim, and eat some brunch!  

We went to see Juanito Bandito at the Eccles Theater.  Everyone loved it.  Leah would have no part in a photo though.

School class Christmas parties.  Leah always lucks out and gets to come be my sidekick.

Leah's dance show off day.  Despite her look she actually danced so cute.  The one in the fall she refused to participate in, so that was a step in the right direction!  Luke and Seth have a new piano teacher this year, and they both rocked their Christmas recital.  Despite lots of complaining (and I mean lots) they are both getting better and despite the fact that it's often torture (for all of us) for them to practice we are sticking with it!

We had the Workmans over to make some gingerbread houses.  For some reason Ian is never pictured.

Jer and I escaped for a half day morning of powder followed by feverish wrapping of presents.  Great wintery day!
