Victoria was supposed to be in North Carolina, but her flight on Saturday was canceled due to the weather. We enjoyed having her at the party! Hopefully, she will make it home tomorrow.
We have pictures of the kids using their birthday hats in creative ways. We have birds...
beards...
an eye patch...
and a unicorn...
Such silly children!
We have pictures from our branch Christmas party that we went to Saturday night.
Zoe, Eleanor, and Zach were shepherds in the Nativity play. Emily was a donkey.
The scenery for the play was incredible and the gym was decorated so nice for our potluck dinner before the play. As Matt and I ate the salad that we brought, I came to the conclusion that we should have brought something more filling for us to eat! We were good though.
We have pictures of our Christmas tree!
We spent several family councils deciding if we were going to get a regular sized tree or a table top tree this year. Matt was strongly for the table top tree and Zoe was strongly for the regular sized tree. We've never had a couch before, so we really did wonder where we were going to fit a tree. We discussed moving things around and/or taking some things out of the living room, but then we didn't know where to move the stuff to. In the end, we moved the couch toward the wall a few inches and the chair toward the bookcase a few inches and made room for a regular sized tree (for our house anyway!). It fits perfectly!
We also have 1 picture of man camp.
The men claim it wasn't that bad this year. They went through A LOT of firewood and got very little sleep, but they are calling it a success! My mom, Victoria, and I had our own little adventure getting my mom out of the snowbank in our driveway after we played a game of Phase 10. We did it, though!
What is on your camera?
