Getting ready for Christmas

Getting ready for Christmas is a big deal at our house! It is tradition to go cut a tree in the mountains and we love to spend the day finding just the right one and sledding and getting stuck. Peter was particularly excited this year.






Santa always visits the ward Christmas party and though the kids have been scared of him in years past, they all put on brave faces and saw it through.







Peter asked for a new Christmas train







Caitlin asked for a dolly that can cry and open and close its eyes






Andrew asked for an iPad mini







Here's Mike trying to give the kids courage as they inched forward in line.
