Lots of Skating

I took the girls ice skating for a church Activity Days celebration. They has a lot of fun spending time with church friends.

I also took the girls and met up with a few school friends to go skating for a few hours! Its always fun to be able to use your own skates!

It's Christmas, Merry Christmas!

Christmas Eve was fun. We had friends come over for dinner and played a few games.

The kids are wearing their new pajamas from Grandma and Grandpa Burton. They are ready for Christmas to come!

Christmas morning! We are so grateful for our Savior. We are grateful to know Him and to celebrate Him, and continue to learn how we can be more like Jesus Christ.

(The Elmo was a joke, because Jaren is always teasing and making fun of stuff... he thought it was pretty funny!)

Family gifts! We got a ping pong table, and a foosball table to play with!

Celebrations

Zoey was in a little reading group play about the Gingerbread Man. She had a cute party at school as well. Amelia Woodruff is her best friend, so she go a few pictures with her!

Audrey, with her best friend, Grace Josefiek.

We took the family for lunch at MOD Pizza, to celebrate Jaren getting his Eagle Scout Rank!

Friends, Traditions, Santa, and other December Happenings

December is always a busy time of year...

Jaren and Xander went bowling with their friend Silas, and a few more friends.

The young men at church went to a elderly group home to do Christmas crafts and sing carols.

We went caroling took treats to neighbors.

The kids had friends over one night before Christmas break and ate yummy food, did crafts, and just had a ton of fun!

Xander's robotics team (Vicious Volts #7252) went to state championships. They were finalists in their division. The rest of the kids came to see part of it before going over to the church for the ward Christmas party.
