Christmas Festivities


 Matthew being Santa Claus and bringing gifts to Daniel.  photo below: riding on his sleigh (aka couch).









10 Year Anniversary celebrated in Sedona (that is Daniel under Matthew's jacket) thanks to my parents for watching the kids.











Gingerbread House Decorating







Santa Lucia
Chrissie brought Rick a nice hot cup of cider and sang him some songs.  We then had a special breakfast.






Advent Baking: every Sunday morning we'd make Christmas cookies.





 Daniel's Baby Blessing









Playing with Zinn cousins






Candy Making


Tree Decorating



Chrissie's school Nativity Program
Chrissie's grade sang a song.  I wished I had a better shot of her.  She sang with such emotion.  It was so cute. My heart melted.






Making gifts: favorite Christmas tradition
Dinner with the adults (and Daniel of course)

Christmas Package: sending a Christmas package to my nephew Elder Kyle Bergeson who is on a mission in Costa Rica. The kids drew him lots of pictures.  My favorite was a picture Chrissie drew of Kyle walking in the rainforest eating a banana. And we filled it with lots of American goodies.
