Who?

Our ward Christmas party was a day in Whosville. Almost everyone was dressed as a who. It was great! The Grinch even stopped by. Lydia's hair isn't long enough to do something like I did for Ali's hair, so I made her a hat with cupcakes and cookies on it. I thought they both looked adorable.

Lindon Elementary's choir concert

Lydia's choir concert this year was for the city tree lighting! The picture above appeared in the local newspaper! Lydia is very talented and I'm so proud of her. I love to watch her perform. Here is one of their songs.

Christmas Dance Concert

Ali and Lydia are both in dance this year. Their dance studio does a Christmas concert, and they keep it low cost using costumes they have at home. Ali danced to "Ay Ay Ay it's Christmas" in tap shoes. She has such a cute little shake-a shake-a. Here's her little dance.

She's in class with one of her best friends, Ava. Aren't they darling!


Lydia danced to "Rockin' Around the Christmas Tree." We had to come up with a rocker costume for her. I think it turned out really cute! Here she is is.

Lydia is also in class with her friend Kayla. They rock!

Merry Christmas, Lindon Elementary

Every year Lindon Elementary does a Christmas Sing on the last two days of school. It's very cute. Ali and Lydia were both in it this year. Bryant and I went to participate. The girls did a great job on their grade songs. The big hit though is a song that was written many years ago for the school. It's called "Merry Christmas, Lindon Elementary" and the kids absolutely scream it! What a fun tradition!

Mrs. Claus

Mrs. Claus always visits the Pleasant Grove library at the beginning of the season. We sing some carols, read some great stories, get some treats, and get to talk to her. Bryant is scared of Santa and won't sit on his lap, but Mrs. Claus has a softer look and she persuaded him to come talk to her. It was cute. Her visit is becomning one of my favorite holiday traditions.

Temple Square Lights

The Saturday after Thanksgiving, Kenlee (our niece) was still visiting from BYU-Idaho, so we took her to see the lights at Temple Square! It was very cold, and pretty crowded, but we had a blast. I think the kids liked riding the train the best. It's funny what kids end up liking. The lights were beautiful and we really loved spending the day with Kenlee.

Giving Thanks

Thanksgiving was bounteous in visiting family member this year! We had such a great time with everyone. The older kids and adults visited and played games. The children ran around and played. It was chaotic and oh, so wonderful! We felt truly blessed.
