Let the Christmas Season Begin!

Let the Christmas Season Begin!  Bring all of the Christmas decorations out!  (Early this year!)  Since it is crazy during the holiday season with my job - I was pretty excited to set up our decorations mid November this year.  Pretty early for what we normally do - but I love it!












We love that our little Stonegate neighborhood likes to kick off the Christmas season with a visit from                   Santa and his reindeers.  








When Santa asked what the kids wanted for Christmas:
Lily - Dog
Boston - BB Gun
Crew - Drivers License
Presley - Cat







Hot chocolate at the food truck 

 We try to do 25 days of Christ every year for the month of December.  It was sweet to watch Lily be in charge one night. She had all of her siblings help her read some scriptures.

My parents are here right now and then Christina's mother and sister will be coming next week. We feel blessed to always have their support. Here are some pictures from the last couple of days. Here is a very proud grandpa spending time with his little grand daughter. He does such a good job with her and it is neat to see how proud he is. Also, here is one of the funniest little videos. So far, her eyes have been very perceptive, but here, I think she got a little overwhelmed. I think her hands mess with her eyes. We have to keep them covered cause she always is scratching her face. But the video just makes us laugh. She is such a cute little girl!!! As you can see, we are very pro...
