We had a great month of December preparing for Christmas. We were able to take in some zoo lights with cousins, and hit up the Bass Pro Shop's Winter Wonderland with some friends. This made for two Santa visits. I was surprised how much Tanner loved Santa and was not scared of him at all, even with his stranger anxiety. Every man that has a long white beard is Santa to Tanner. He even called a man in the grocery store the other day Santa because his beard fit the profile. 
On Christmas eve we were lucky to go enjoy a wonderful Christmas program at our friends, the Yorks. All the boys dressed up in nativity clothes and put on a program with music and scripture. Even Tanner got into the all dressing up and was the fourth wise man. I am not sure exactly what Carter is doing in the picture, but I guess he thought that is what a wise face would look like. 
Christmas morning was spent on our own. The boys hid from Santa early Christmas morning and were able to watch him deliver their gifts. They were so excited for what he brought them. Below are the boys enjoying some of their gifts. It was a really nice and relaxing family day. 
It was good to have a relaxing Christmas because the early next morning we were off on a 8 hour drive to Utah. The drive was not too bad and the weather, for once, cooperated. Even though some illness plagued our week, we still had a great time. Below my Dad, Lamont, Carter, and McKay are enjoying building up their coin collections. 
Tanner enjoyed playing blocks with cousin Cameron.

Hey Melissa-
It was fun to catch up with your blog. You look like you had a great holiday season. Your boys are growing up too fast!! I also liked seeing your pictures of the ice skating. Kira is going to an ice skating party and I hope she'll have something to hold onto like that!
