I was asked to be in charge of Decembers combined YW activity. We went to the Hoopernacle. We went for YW when I lived in Hooper and the Girls loved it. I think my South Weber girls loved it also...whats not to love. Hal Stoddard is the cutest old man ever. He kept us all entertained.
I couldn't bring myself to do the 25 days of Christmas this year. I felt way too overwhelmed. I planned the YW activity, both me and Mike had teach and we needed to plan my Bailey Family Christmas Party. It seemed like so much. Christmas snuck up on me this year. We did do a few Christams traditions.
We went to Christmas Village. The kids love it. It was pretty cold this year, but not as cold as last year.
The kids loved the houses that had the Grinch.
Bensen looked like this the whole time, I don't think he moved a muscle.
The kids made a gingerbread house along with some gingerbread men and trees.
As I said before, this year we were in charge of the Bailey Christmas party. There are way too many people in our family to have everyone in my house, so we had it at the church. Which was great, I didn't have to stress out about who was touching what or spend hours cleaning my house before and after the party.
We had fun. We played some Christmas games, Joy set up a photo booth, we ate food.
Wesley loved the props for the photo booth.
Then we ended the night with a couple rounds of thunder. Amber 5 months pregnant still beat everyone a couple of times.
On Christmas Eve we had our Borgstrom party. Sarah read a story about the symbols of Christmas.
Mike asked questions and did the nativity.
Of coarse there was a ton of food, then in it was present time.
Good times.
Bensen even got in on the action.
Wesley loves puzzles and was so excited to try this one out.
The kids slept in until after 8 on Christmas morning. We woke up to snow!
It's so fun to see how excited the kids get. Most years we go way overboard for Christmas. I think we did pretty good this year. Each kid got four thing, except Bensen he only got one, and that was from Santa. It was a great Christmas.
Bensen has started really cheesing it for pictures. He just needs to see the flash first. So the first picture is a practice, and then we get the big cheesy smile!
Could he be any cuter?
I think not!
On Christmas morning we usually go to my parents house for breakfast and more presents. Yum.
3 guys on a pretty small couch. :)
These were taken with in seconds of each other. He's even cute when he cries.
I love Christmas time! I love spending time with my family and celebrating my Savior Jesus Christ. I am so blessed to have the Gospel in my life. It bring me and my family so much happiness.
Merry Christmas!
