The Card, Festivities and Such


Thanks to RachaelTyler Photography for the AMAZING photos!
*if you didn't get a card that doesn't mean we don't love you it just mean I can't afford it*

Porter and I working on nativities pictures. I taped them down around the table so that as he got bored I could just move him.

Remember me mentioning Sugar Cookie dough well we put it to good use.



Can you see the little finger pokes in some of them.

We took some of the cookies to temple square to share with the Gelter family. We had SO much fun at the temple and Porter loved the lights. He was screaming with excitement; his little body could barely contain it all. I have a few pictures but I can't get them off my phone at the moment so you'll have to take my word for it.

Christmas Festival at the Children's Development Center

P getting his craft on.

Family picture with the Clauses
At least neither kid is crying. P was so excited to meet Santa until we got close that is.

Thanksgiving Point Holiday Lights
P's cousin's enjoyed the lights so we decided to check it out. It was lots of fun! We opted for the horse drawn wagon ride and sat right in the front by the driver. Porter was in HEAVEN! Horses and Christmas lights, what boy wouldn't be? Again, he couldn't contain his excitement and was loudly telling the world how cool it all was! "Horsie! Look! Look! OOO! WOW!!!" He's an enthusiastic child!
This morning we caught Porter in the act of opening the present our friends dropped off last night while he was asleep. This is why our gifts are down in the basement.

Merry Christmas!!!
or should I say Happy Festivus Eve!

We'll see ya after the Holidays. Enjoy this happy time my friends!
