Christmas

We had a great Christmas! Tyler and Grace were more than sufficiently spoiled, as were Brian and I. Even Elsie was. We enjoyed the holidays, visiting with family, decorating, baking, eating, looking at lights, a trip to temple square, etc. This year I used my mother-in-law's gingerbread recipe and cookie cutter and made my own gingerbread. The end result was 30 individual gingerbread houses. Needless to say, the kids decorated a lot of houses. Every day we had someone else over to decorate. They thought it was great. The whole month of December my kids were on a sugar high. I asked Santa to substantially cut back on the stocking candy, and I was glad to see he came through.


Decorating gingerbread houses - a new family tradition (One of Brian's favorite's growing up)

The lights at temple square - Brian took the kids on trax with my family to see the lights at temple square. I stayed home with Elsie.

Grace fell asleep on the trax ride home in grandma's arms. She had so much fun it wore her out.

Christmas morning - what a mess.
