12 Days of Christmas

A tradition that we have carried on from Jake's childhood is the 12 days of Christmas. Every night we do an activity together as a family. It was Jake's idea this year for me to draw a picture of the day's activity and post it on the front door. Then when the kids came down in the morning they could figure out the activity based on the picture. Luke LOVED this.

Some of the things we did:
shopping and seeing Santa
Movie night-Princess and the Frog
Game night-New Yahtzee Jr.
Temple Square to see the lights

to name a few. Unfortunately I didn't take very many pictures...oops. But I did get some of us making candy trains with the Speredons.

Luke's train.


Ty REALLY enjoyed this. Surprisingly he didn't eat very much of it, but was intensely focused on making his train. He worked on his the longest and enjoyed every minute of it.
Notice all of us in our BYU stuff. The BYU bowl game was that night. Go BYU!
