Christmas is almost here!

This week was another fun, busy and crazy Christmas week.
We went downtown to see the lights at Temple Square with our friends The Halls, for FHE. It was a fun, cold night. The lights are always so beautiful and it's the perfect activity to get you in the mood for Christmas!

Here's our house all decorated for the holidays. I love getting Christmas cards from friends and family.

We hosted Lizzie's preschool at our house this week. We read Frosty the Snowman and made snowman crafts. The kids played and had fun too!

Taylor had an orchestra concert at school on Thursday. He plays the violin at school. He did great and they sounded good. It was fun to see him play, they don't bring their instruments home to practice so this was the first time I'd heard him play.
He is great at music! Taylor plays the Ukelele, piano and violin. He really enjoys music and seems to learn to quickly!

We had some snow storms this week. The kids love to go outside and play in the snow.

They made two snow walls and made lots of snowballs too, then they had a giant snowball fight, boys vs. girls. They loved it!

The snow really makes it feel like Christmas!

This is the cutest card Isaac made for Taylor. He made him a gift at school and on the card wrote "to my Talyor family, from Isaac W." It was so sweet, and he was very proud of his gift and card.



On Friday night the older kids had their annual Christmas cousin sleepover and G & G Shields house.
They love this sleepover and really look forward to it!



They have tons of activities planned; games, dinner, going to get gelato, hot tubbing, opening gifts, crafts, decorating cookies, watch a movie, and sleep under the Christmas tree. They all had a blast and came home tired and happy!

Thanks to G & G Shields for having such a fabulous party for all the kids!

Saturday night was the Shields Family extended Christmas Party in Midway, UT. We had dinner, a talent show and visited with cousins, aunts, uncles etc... It was a fun night and an entertaining party.

We love all these Christmas festivities, they really get us in the mood for Christmas! 
Merry Christmas!!
