Christmas Festivities

I really wish I would have taken the time to post these pictures as they happened, but December is just busy. Here are some of the fun things we did during the month of December.

We went to see the Tree of Life.

It was so pretty, but super cold that night, so we didn't stay long to enjoy it.

The girls had their choir concert. We learned that night that even though Ashley has a really low voice, she can sing right on pitch. Alyssa did great with her solo, as well. We were excited that Daddy was able to slip away from work on the busiest day of the year in order to attend the concert. 

And Alyssa was excited that her best friend was there.

Santa was kind enough to send us an Elf on the Shelf this year(thanks to Alyssa's early letter to him requesting an Elf). We named him Peter and the kids sure loved finding him each day. We had a sneak peak at his date night on this specific day. Who knew that Ladybug Girl was his girlfriend. Ashley added the other friends in later that day.

Camden mastered sitting up this month. I thought this picture was cute.

The kids got new jammies and the girls got new robes on Christmas Eve.

I thought this picture was funny. I guess Tyler was a little too close to Camden.

We woke up on Christmas morning to the most snow we had seen in one storm since we have lived here. We're guessing about 15 inches.

After presents, Danny finally got to break in his snow blower that we got for him almost 2 years ago.

Here is our modified version of the Miner Family stair picture. We didn't trust Tyler to hold Camden in the usual pose.

And here are the kids in front of the loot.

Alyssa got to go to a party at her friends house on New Years Eve. The party ended at 10, but she wanted to stay up until midnight anyways. Danny was nice enough to wait it out with her. I went to bed at 10 and didn't even hear the fireworks going off at midnight. We are looking forward to the upcoming year and the fun things we have planned. The first big thing being Ashley's Baptism in early Feb.
