Signs of Christmas are all around our house! Our Elfie is under the tree in the nativity set, isaac getting a hot compress on his ets. Buddy the rabbit having some Christmas spirit and this adorable polar bear from Lizzie! 

Taylor saw Santa with his friends.
Lizzie made us an adorable lantern from School for Christmas along with the BEST card! I love her cards so much! We enjoy getting Christmas cards from lots of friends and family. It's a joy to see their faces and read about their families.
We had the Shields Family Christmas "Surprise" dinner at our house on Saturday night. We had dinner, gift exchanges and a talent show, also we had a reading of the Nativity. Taylor and Emily played "silent Night" and it was amazing! They played at church today too! 

Lots of fun!!!

The kids had fun exchanging gifts with all of their cousins! 

Sunday we only had one hour of church. Taylor and Emily played beautifully in church and then we went home for a rest. Later that afternoon we headed to PC for a Wall Family Christmas Party! We had dinner, games, Dodge Ball, catching up with cousins etc.. and the SANTA Came! It was super fun and we all had a blast! We love Seeing Jennifer, Chandler and their adorable girls!  We even got to meet their new baby, Millie! She is so sweet! 

Tomorrow is Christmas Eve, we are ready!  

We had Indian Food at a yummy restaurant this weekend! The kids loved it! 

Isaac and Emily both had holiday performances this week! Isaac rocked it on his trumpet and Emily did awesome on her dance songs!
We had a fun party at the Hawkins Family Christmas party too! 

The big cousin sleepover was at our house this year it was a blast! We had dinner, walked to Harmons to get a Gelato, did crafts, played games, saw Santa, made Christmas trees etc.. and then watched a movie!! What a fun night! 

Saturday we headed to Alta to ski all day. The ski was so pretty and blue and it was a fun day! The kids are doing great on their skis and it's a blast!

December!

My 41st birthday was this week! I had a nice, relaxing day full of fun and food memories. I went to brunch earlier in the week with some friends. On my birthday I went to lunch with Danny at Mazza and the we had dinner and cake with the kids that night. The kids all showered me with notes, back rubs, and Taylor posted  pic of me on his IG. I even got an amazing delivery of Chip Cookies at my door and it was so good! 

We had a very festive weekend. On Friday Lizzie and her cousins were in the Christkinglemarket at This is The place. She had so much fun! We shopped around eating Brats, hot cocoa, fries and Swedish Pancakes. We even saw Elder Uchdorf there, which was super cool!
Saturday we put our our Christmas Tree, decorated the house, made our Christmas Advent calendars, saw the New Grinch movie and Danny and I went to a work party that night in Park City.
December is here!
