Christmas is just around the corner and we have tried really hard to do all the things we can to get in the spirit of Christmas! We visited Santa and Cavin was so excited until he sat on his lap then he just looked at us like what am I doing on this crazy guys lap! he didn't cry but he didn't smile either!
we don't have a fireplace or a place to hang our stockings so we went into the canyon and found a branch to hang our stockings with.
Cavin helped me wrap presents, really he just unwrapped presents, until I found a box for him and told him I'm shipping him to papa's and grammy and he got right in!
Cavin and I made snow flakes for his room and we hung them up! he loves to look at them before his nap time!
We went to my parents ward Christmas party which Cavin loved watching the cute girls sing and dance!
We of course had to go tot he mall to see Santa!
We took a Family Drive to Willard Bay to see the Christmas lights, Cavin loved it! he couldn't stop looking at all the lights so much so that we drove those it twice!! it was a great night!
We goat little snow so we went out as a family and played in it!
I swear I do things with our family but I'm always behind the camera instead of in front on it! but I did pull Cavin and Marcus around on the sled! After I got too cold Marcus pulled the bike out and they rode around for a long time!
We do 25 Christmas books and read one every day! This is dad rocking and reading our sweet babies to sleep!
A few days before Christmas we got dumped with about a foot of snow and we built a snow man! Cavin thought is was pretty cool! * side note this was made before 8 AM! We where a little excited!
Christmas Sunday was a Special day, I always love Christmas but as I held Stella in my arms signing songs about Baby Jesus, I just got tears in my eyes, I'm so glad we can celebrate, Jesus Christ. As a mom I've been thinking a lot of how I can really teach my kids the true meaning of Christmas, I know it's fun to get gifts. Its fun to give but the true Christmas is to celebrate Jesus Christ. Marcus and I have been really trying to come up with traditions and ideas to remember Christ.
Colby and Stella 10 weeks apart! so cute and fun!!
