Christmas

We had a great Christmas this year.  We actually spent a lot less this year but somehow Christmas morning turned into a lot of stuff again.  Emma got a Baby Alive, roller skates, a kareoke boom box, and a light bright.  Edison got a Mack truck that pulls Lightning McQueen, a bike, a Cars memory game, and a remote control tractor.  They both got pajamas, pillows and blankets, and BYU gear.  Kimball and I also got stocked on BYU gear and got games, books, shoes, and a new ipod clock radio.  Oh, and did I forget to mention the matching speedos!!

The Polar Express

We took the kids on the Polar Express to visit the North Pole the Saturday before Christmas.  The were served cookies and hot chocolate by some elves, saw some reindeer along the way, and got to meet Mrs. Clause and Santa Clause who gave them a bell to remember their trip.

Christmas Party

The Christmas party was a lively event as always.  We had a freak snowstorm that night right at party time so the turn out was not as big as last year.  We had dinner, the white elephant gift exchange, and an ugly sweater contest.  It was really hard to pick a winner.  Good thing we had multiple prizes.  The gift exchange brought back the kissing kittens.  Some new items were the inflatable husband, a karma sutra guide (both of which Rebecca's parents picked!), a chia head, and some great decorations for a wall or shelf!  This was the first year for the sweater contest and the first  year we didn't watch Christmas Vacation.  All in all, it turned out pretty good and will be back again next year.

Emma's Christmas Performances

Emma has been doing dance, gymnastics, and singing this past semester of school. She had two dance and two singing performances around Christmas. She had ballet performances in Sandy at the Festival of Trees and at Timpanogas High School. She performed with her singing group at the Scera Center for the Arts and at the Provo mall.  Here are some pictures of her at those performances.  She was very fun to watch.  She really gives it her all when she is on the stage!
