Well, well...it is almost Christmas!

Missed the Thanksgiving update, and now it is almost Christmas!

We've been fully enjoying ourselves, the weather, the snow, the activities of the season...everything!  As always, we are keeping busy going to lots of events and making sure we take it all in.  Not even sure where to start. We will just post some pictures and some captions :-)

We wish EVERYONE great blessings this Season. It is such a joyous time to spend reflecting on all the great blessings, especially the birth of our Savior!!

Another attempt to see Santa and his reindeer!

Priceless!  She told Santa she wanted "baby Jesus" for Christmas. 
Then "Let me out, Santa scary!"  At least she knows the real reason for the Season!
