Christmas Time Festivities!

December is such a fun month and we did so many fun activities this month!  Starting with decorating the tree.  Then I told them each to show me their favorite ornament.  Love all their choices but Nixon and the blue sparkly ball😂






Then tradition is all the kids sleep under the Christmas tree the first night we put it up and watch a Christmas movie.

Cookies with Santa at their school and they brought in snow.



Me and Madix got to go on a special date.  We went and saw the Broadway show of Mama Mia.  Super fun hanging out with just my Madi Kai, and she loved the music!!


And Madix had a little Christmas musical at school that she did.



The kids love opening up the Christmas Calendar countdown each day.





Just doing some Easy Bake.  Mads and Tayte.



Ice Skating!!!  So fun, and everyone did great, even Nixon after he whined and complained for the first little bit.  But then he got the hang of it.





Friends night!  Ty and Morgan playing pool, Tayte and Gwen playing sorry and Madix and Kalissa playing in their favorite place to play, the shower!!😂


These two set up in the shower and I don't see them for hours and hours!!  Cute girls tea party in the shower😂









Temple Lights with Kacey's family and Omy and Gigi


Ty's four square dance at school.

We went and did the African experience.  It was really cool for the kids to see how kids live in Africa.  They put on headphones and walked through this house and it told them through each room how they lived in a tiny 1 bedroom, ate hardly nothing and had to go to work everyday.  So good for the kids to see and hopefully help them to appreciate things more!  We went with our good friends the Beckers.




The last night Markle was here he laid by all the kids and took a picture with them:)


Christmas Morning!  Mads got a HUGE catterpillar.  Laying by grandpa.












Fianally a family picture at the temple lights with Nixon looking and smiling!






School Christmas Concerts!!






Fuzball table for Christmas!  And Nix got a new bike!!



We went to St. George after Christmas for New Years Eve and stayed at Mels.
