Ava and Alec had the opportunity to go see the beautiful Nutcracker with Uncle Lynn and Aunt Barbara...what a special night! Ava was so excited to where her "Nutcracker" dress! They had a blast and came home beautiful trinkets to remind them of the special night...thanks Lynn and Barbara for such a special memory.
The Ence family Christmas gathering...and what a gathering it is. All of the cousins reunite to be with Aunts and Uncles and our dear sweet Grandparents who are so fortunately still with us. Lots of catching up, some singing, and fun games for the kids...thanks Ence clan for keeping us all connected!
Dad's tradition of putting together a gingerbread house...Costco's version of course! The kids look forward to this every year and I always seem to be preoccupied doing something...thanks for taking one for the team Dad!
Temple Square...always a favorite memory. My kids have this little tradition they've started of their own where they pack their back packs to head to Temple Square. It started a few years ago when I told Alec to gather his warm things to head down to Temple Square and well, he took me literally...he packed hand warmers, water bottle, band aids...and plenty of other gadgets to "be prepared" so now Ava has joined in on the tradition, so let's just say we're prepared for anything that might hit us at the Square!
The kids decorating the "kid tree" as Zachary likes to call it. He's just sure I only do it so the kids won't have interest in touching my tree...well guess what, I let them help me with the big tree this year...look how "big" I'm becoming!
