FELIZ NAVIDAD HAPPENINGS

Oh December! What a busy month you have been. I have been constantly on the go and I can not...I repeat...CAN NOT wait until Saturday when the R&R begins. Don't get me wrong I have loved (almost) every second of the craziness of "the season" and will most likely shed a tear or two when I un-decorate my house.


Busy month of December = no time for blogging.
With that here is what we have been up to...

1. Got the tree. It's a good one. Love the smell of pine. Looooove it!

2. Christmas Parties galore. This is the Edward Jones party. The girls got to rub Vaseline all over the guy's faces and then they had to roll their faces in Cotton balls to create the "perfect" Santa beard. Clayton WON! could also have something to do with the fact that the stubble on his face acted like velcro.

3. Oh Egg Nog. Some don't love you but we always will. Southern Comfort (the red carton) is the best and we have been drinking lots of it.

4. Dipping chocolates. lots of them. so many that I don't care if I dip another one for...well...at least 1 year. ps. If you are on the receiving end of these chocolates please note that yours will NOT look as nice as the ones below. Pretty sure they are still tasty though.

5. Drinking Hot Chocolate. With the lights off. With the Christmas Tree lights on. While watching a Christmas movie.

6. Lights at Temple Square. Perfect.

7. First Presidency Christmas Devotional. Again...perfect. It reminded me (again) that so many times I/we are so busy trying to make the season perfect that we forget why we even celebrate this season. Listen to it HERE.

8. Spencer Christmas Party. Can NOT officially start the holidays without it. As usual grams...you did a fabulous job. THANK YOU!

still waiting for McMurdie Christmas Party and 2 Andrew parties

9. Dinner at The Roof. over looking the lights. beautiful

10. Yogurt Stop. Not Christmasy at all, unless you count the peppermint flavor. Do not waste your time here. not good.

11. Forgotten Carols. 3rd time for me, 1st time for Clayton. I cried. Pretty sure Clayton cried too. Although if you ask him he might deny it.

12. Oh the Christmas movies. Elf (as usual LOVE IT), Scrooged (not a fan), Four Christmases, Fred Claus, 8 Hallmark shows and 16 more that are still on the DVR waiting to be watched.

13. Christmas shopping. Over and over and over again. Almost there.

14. Christmas Advent book. We have missed some days, but have loved the stories we have read. Special thanks to my mother-in-law for giving it to us!


Still looking forward to what is left to come...

MERRY CHRISTMAS EVERYONE!
