It's The Most Wonderful Time Of The Year!

Every year we wait until the Saturdat after Thanksgiving to put up our Christmas Tree but this year we just could not wait. So we put on our favorite Christmas tunes and decorated the whole house for Christmas!






Of course the tree is the BEST part!

Family home evening

Tonight for Family home evening Brandon gave a lesson on The true meaning of Christmas and the importance of celebrating Jesus' birth.  Also about giving and not expecting so much. It was a really good reminder and lesson for all of us.

After our lesson we wrote letters to Santa! 

Averie told me exactly what to write in her letter, she was being so serious it was cute!

Next, we made a Ginger bread house!

just getting started...

Kaylie ate more candy then she actually put on the house!

working together...

All done! They were so proud, while decorating Averie kept saying "This little house sure looks cute, I'm so proud of it!"

We had a great night, and I'm so glad that Brandon was able to join us for FHE this week!
