We soaked up as much of the Decemberness as we could.  

Even cleaning was more fun in December, due to Macey singing and dancing for me. 


Getting out the Christmas books is always exciting too and it is insane how many I have collected.  


I got to take the Activity Day girls from church to the Norman Rockwell exhibit at BYU.  It was very cool.  


We’ve been enjoying having 4 tickets to the BYU basketball games this season.  

We did our typical visit to the Riverwoods and to see Santa.  


And while this girl didn’t love Santa, she does love the snow.  


And I love it when she’s all dressed up in Macey’s old clothes.  

The highlight of the month though was Nana and Pop-Pop’s visit.  

We were non stop busy.  


Ruby was quite taken with both of them.  And pretty much wanted nothing to do with Paul and I the entire time.  
There were about a million games of “Go Fish” played.  

We had the christmas sing at school and they got to help me in both Macey and Miles’ class parties too.  

We of course decorated sugar cookies.  

Opened Christmas presents.  



We took a ride to the North Pole. 

Macey and Miles were in complete heaven.  Singing songs, playing games. visiting with the “elfs”, and of course getting to talk with Santa.  


Ruby proved to be a complete pain most of the ride, but it was worth seeing the other 3 have so much fun.  

We had plans to snowshoe, but decided to sled instead, as it seemed much less trouble. :)  

It was the right choice.  


Ruby pretty much wandered around in the snow the entire time and was as happy as could be to have complete freedom. 


Pop-Pop and Paul made us a jump.  

It was a pretty perfect afternoon.  

And visit.
