December

We have had a great month of December. The boys were busy with lots of fun things at school, and Spencer was my little helper with all the Christmas shopping.

Jaxson's class put on a production of the Christmas Carol, and he was Bob Cratchit. He did a great job! He has no fear and loves to perform. We may have an actor in the family.

Cameron had a Christmas sing-a-long at his school, and Spencer and I got to go see him. It was fun to see all the first graders singing "All I want for Christmas." Cameron has been without a tooth for a long time and we are hoping Santa will help it come in!

Dallin made some fun things at his preschool. They made the cutest gingerbread houses, complete with a fence and fancy windows! They learned lots of fun songs, and he even performed them for us on Christmas Eve.

Ever since we have been out on Christmas Break we have been bombarded with snow. The kids have had so much fun building forts and going sledding. They are becoming pretty efficient at shoveling too. (They do tend to leave a layer of ice, but at least it's something!) We had one day where we spent the whole day shoveling the driveway. It was so beautiful though. We felt like we were in a winter wonderland.

Dallin, Spencer and our neighbor Cody were cold after playing so hard in the snow, so we brought them inside to make sugar cookies. I think most of the frosting ended up in their mouths and not on the cookies.

Erik was able to take off work the week of Christmas, so we were able to do some fun things as a family. On Christmas Eve morning we took the boys bowling, and they had a great time. Every time Spencer rolled the ball, he would throw his arms up and jump up and down.
