We got hit with a beautiful snow storm. It is so fun to see our yard covered in snow for the first time!
Jordan had a blast playing in all of the snow. He got out a toy sword and was battling the snow off of the cedar trees branches.
Capturing the moment.
For Family Home Evening one night we bought a kit and build ginger bread houses. This was by Jordan's request. But instead of building a ginger bread house he decided last minute to build a robot. Funny guy.
Hillary loving the snow! I always say "Let it snow!"

Our yard is full of trees, too many in fact. We plan to thin them out and make the yard not so cluttered. It turns out that we happened to have a beautiful Evergreen tree that was far too close to the fence that would need to come out. So we decided to make it our Christmas tree this year. Talk about getting a Christmas tree close and for cheap. What a fun way to spend our first Christmas in our new home; with a Christmas tree from our very own yard!
Preston was also such a sweetie to put up Christmas lights on the house for me, even though our roof shingles are slick and it was cold. He knew it meant a lot to me to have lights on our house our first Christmas at our home. I love that man so much!
Decorating the Christmas tree. All the kids were a great help. When we got the tree we were surprised at how tall it was. It just barely missed touching the ceiling. It it just the right height and fit well in our front room.
Here are the kids dressed up for church in their Christmas best. We have the most adorable kids ever. Just saying...
Look at this picture perfect Christmas scene. It warms my heart just looking at it. To me we have the perfect front room for Christmas time: fire place for
stockings and cozy fire snuggling, mantle for decorating, bay window for extra tree room, and
big windows to watch the snow come down. I love it!
What's the Christmas holiday without making sugar cookies? It was lots of fun for the kids to do this with Grandma Suzie too. Plus they were delicious... Santa is a lucky guy.
I love sugar cookies... can you tell? Yummmmm.
Christmas Eve we read the story of Christ's birth and had the kids act out the scenes with this nativity scene I painted. Afterwards Natalie kept playing with it and I couldn't help but capture this sweet moment. It is such a sweet experience to teach our children about Christ our Savior.
A beautiful season of lights, traditions, and the babe in Bethlehem.
