December Goodness!!

 Caitlin and her friend, Kaitlyn Shaw....volunteering at Dick's Diner for the Salvation Army.  Merry Christmas!!

 Tommy saved up enough money to buy his own new ipod 4!!  He was so excited!!!

 We went caroling with the sister missionaries from our church one Sunday.  We went to a local Care center.  It was fun to sing by their bedroom doors.

                                                             Nathalie and me.

 Tommy's class Christmas party.  The games were so cute!!  Gift wrapping contest....who could wrap the fastest and then the nicest.

                                         White balloon's fanning them to certain lines.

 This one I loved!!  So clever!!!  They held their math books on their heads with a piece of paper on top.  Then they listened to directions and drew a snowman on the paper.  The kids loved this one!!!

 Our traditional homemade (thanks to mike) gingerbread houses!  Jordan's and Nathalie's above.

 On Christmas Eve we went to a Presbyterian service with our friend, Grandma Joan.  It was beautiful and they had these luminaries all around the outside.  It was so fun and beautiful music.  We love Grandma Joan very much!! 

                                                          Christmas morning.......

 Caitlin and Nathalie got these cool bracelets from Santa Mouse.  The bracelet is call Lokei. 

   Nathalie knitted Cate a scarf for Christmas...Below Grandma Snow made Jordan a Priesthood quilt.  Where he can write on it when he has been ordained the different ranks in the priesthood from our church.  He loves it!

                              Then she made Tommy a Tiger pillow.  He LOVES TIGERS!!!

                                 That Cheril Snow was a busy girl, she made Cate this bag....

                Mike and his new snow boots and Nathalie in her new scarf we got her.

          Caitlin finally go her North Face coat she has always wanted!!  It's soooooo SOFT!

 Jordan got a cool "build your own engine" set and Tommy got a remote control air glider from "dad"

             Mike and I made the kids fleece blankets that will actually fit their tall bodies.

 Christmas traditions.....a fruit braid with sprinkles of course and small boxes of cereal!!  Love it!!!

 Tommy got a bow tie!  He has wanted one for awhile now and he is excited to fly his plane with his dad!

 Got a little net for ping pong and used it on our old kitchen table.  It's not too big, but it's fun to play and try to keep it on the table.  We are so thankful for the Christmas season and so blessed to be together!
