Almost Christmas!

The kids only had school Monday and Tuesday the week of Christmas, so once they were out of school it was all play for them!  On Tuesday, we had more snow and Carson was awesome and helped a ton over the break to shovel all the snow we got.  The kids also had a Christmas Carol Sing-a-long on Tuesday morning.  I played the piano for some of the songs and it was a blast to get to go and see them participate in it.  It sure helped put everyone in the Holiday mood.  I also added some cute selfies Alivia took of herself.  She is so funny!



 Alivia had a Christmas Program at Preschool on Tuesday and so Nick came home from work to go to that with her while I was at the elementary school.  I heard it was super cute (Sorry no pics).  That afternoon Alivia went to her Friend, Mercedez, Birthday party.  It was a tea party and she got to wear a dress and when she got home she looked even more adorable!
 We received a handful of neighbor gifts and it was so fun getting to visit with them when they stopped by.  We seriously love where we live and have such great neighbors!
 Alivia brought home a cute Elf on the Shelf of herself, so we added it to our own shelf.  It was adorable.  The last picture is of Preston doing his eyebrow since we were watching Tarzan and noticed the baby pulls kind of the same face when he first sees the mommy gorilla!  So funny!

On Thursday, Dawn brought her two kids up and we went tubing down our very own sledding hill the kids had made between our house and James' house.  It was a blast!




 On Christmas Eve, we had dinner with the McConkies and then watched "No Ordinary Shepherd" before going home and getting ready for the big night!!  We love the McConkies and feel so blessed to get to be their friends and neighbors!
