Pre-Christmas Festivities

I love this picture of the Salt Lake Temple where Roger and I were sealed. We had a fun night right after Thanksgiving going and seeing the lights on Temple Square.
Addie and Colby were in California when we had our grand kids Christmas tree decorating party so they did their ornament contribution later. Each year I buy the grand kids a new ornament to put on our tree and they love it.
Addie is placing her ornament on the tree very carefully. I loved how most of my ornaments were on the lower half of our tree since that's where they can reach.
We took Makinely, Gentry, Easton and Presley to our ward Christmas party. They loved sitting on Santa's lap. It was quite funny because as soon as Makinley saw the Santa she said to me "That's not Santa, that's someone in your ward." I tried to tell her it was one of Santa's helpers but she wouldn't hear of it. Mr. and Mrs. Claus was played by our cute neighbors Chan and Jeanne Bates.
I loved this picture of Hadley and Makinley relaxing after they decorated Grandma's tree.
It's so funny trying to get a picture of all the grand kids together. Rarely do you get them all looking at the camera at the same time. But I loved this of Papa with his sweethearts.
Look how pretty our tree turned out!! I wish we could have had Adaline and Colby in this picture. My sweethearts are the cutest things alive. They make Christmas time so much fun.
They just finished our tree. They love getting to put their ornaments on that have their pictures from years past or their ornaments that are their initials. I've enjoyed having this tradition because I know how much fun the kids love decorating my tree. They make me smile seeing their cute little faces.
