Christmas 2019

 Making mice cookies.  We didn't make as many cookies/sweets this year because we gave Jeffs pottery away to friends/neighors.  But we couldn't leave out the mice!

Peter loved this christmas book that has 5 different christmas stories.  He asked us to read it to him all the time and would sit still through multiple stories

These two are such fun brothers.  I love that they are so close in age, they are so cute!

Snow fun!  We have had a lot of snow already this year.  In fact Dallins school added 10 minutes to the end of the day in order to get enough learning in because of all the snow days they have had already.

Peter and Brea had each other for christmas and gave their presents early.  Brea gave Peter this fire truck puzzle and they had to put it together right then, no time to take off the snowpants!

Alyssa found these cute snowman cupcakes so we got all the stuff for them and made them one day while the other kids were at school.  They were yummy!

We saw the christmas lights and gingerbread train at the Broadmoore.

 

Alyssa is becoming quite the little baker/chef! She made this delicious chocolate cake with chocolate icing all my herself.  Honestly, it was so good!

 We took some of the family to the electric safari at the zoo.  We have never done this before. It was neat to see all the lights and walk around/get some exercise in the winter.  The animals were not doing much, and it was really crowded, but I am glad we did it.  We ran into the Pierces there and it was fun to visit with them.

I took the kids up to Denver and we were able to donate into the Giving Machine!

On Christmas Eve Jeff and I took Peter, Ephraim, and Alyssa to Santas Workshop - they had a great time!

 Christmas Eve with Sister Kaye, Ephraims face expresses well the love we all have for this sweet lady that has served our family so much over the years.

Sister Kaye was the cow - of her own free choice!

 Christmas Day - Star Wars chess!

The missionaries made sugar cookies with us!
