SLC

We had our annual downtown holiday trip with the Sundwalls and it was a blast. The kids were in heaven! They love out-of-the-ordinary special things and this definitely was that!

Pete and Michelle kept the kids so Peter and I could attend Music and the Spoken Word. It was so beautiful and peaceful!!

Christmas 2016

The kids and I went to Idaho to visit Grandma Davis and Grandpa Bryce. We had a great time!

We went out to breakfast! Grandpa Bryce helped Peter finish of someone's Mac n Cheese.

Coloring at Grandma Davis' house.

The Millar grandkids that came

Playing with Grandpa Bryce's train with Grandpa Millar

On Christmas eve Afton and I kept our tradition of making gingerbread cookies for Santa

Cookies, milk, and carrot all laid out and ready for Santa and his reindeer

Christmas morning! Afton got a vanity from Santa and makeup from Mom and Dad. Peter got a basketball hoop from Santa and some cars from Mom and Dad

Peter enjoyed playing with the vanity too!

Watching the kids give presents this year was so fun. They were so excited for Dad to see what they got him! A shower mirror and razors.

Our ward's nursery gave these cute gifts to the parents from the kids. We died laughing when we saw this picture of Peter. It perfectly depicts how he felt about nursery at the time.

Granny Cannon had a wonderful Christmas party we were able to attend. We always enjoy going to Granny's!

Christmas Eve we went to Mimi and Grandpa Sundwall's house and slept over! We did some singing and music before getting into our new jammies!

Matchy matchy boys

Peter hardly slept Christmas night which was a bit rough. He wasn't the happiest kid the next day. But thank goodness he had his Grandpa's to keep him somewhat happy.

Christmas afternoon we went over to the Millars and had a wonderful Christmas dinner and fun!

December Happenings

Having church with Boofie and Grandpa is just the best! I totally get something out of church!

We got quite a bit of snow to play in

We saw St. Nikolas at the Chriskindlmarkt and were brave enough to sit on his lap and ask for "butterfly slippers" this year

Making an "eagle's nest"

Entertaining us

Peter perfected the cheesy grin

Mom surprised Dad with tickets to see Jim Gaffigan

A new coat from Costco because it was a DEAL!

Visiting the "Tree of Life" in the Holladay Cemetery 

Just because I can't get enough of him!

We attended the ward Christmas party - Rocking Around the Christmas Tree (and had a little photo bomber for our family picture. Pippa Morgan)

Got rear-ended which totaled yet another mini van

Hosted "Christmas Around the World" preschool

Afton and Peter are so loving to each other. It's hugs and kisses all day long at our house :)

Afton's last day of nursery. Peter was on my lap for this photo still too afraid to participate in nursery

Afton sent her letter to Santa just in time

We got to have Millcreek St. Nick at our house for a day

Afton gave a gift to a patient of Dad's in the PICU.

We enjoyed a few family movie nights.

We participated in 25 days of Light the World
