Christmas Fun 2011

Like everyone else, December has flown by with lots of fun Holiday activities. These were some of our highlights so far.....

Abbie was in a very cute performance with her school choir for the Holiday. I can never seem to get to the school early enough to get a decent seat. She is always in the front row due to her height so we couldn't see her well, but it sounded wonderful.

We couldn't wait to make cookies.

We got flour EVERYWHERE!

Frosting them is just as fun as cutting them all out.

We went with our good friends to see the lights at Ethel M's Chocolate Factory. It was a beautiful night, and the lights were amazing. Who knew a cactus garden could be so beautiful.

The kids took turns fighting over Santa's big red chair. It's funny how cold it feels here in Vegas right now. I have really adjusted to the warmer weather, and can't imagine that most of our family has snow. Brrr

Abbie and Avery were able to perform in a solo recital, the ward Christmas party and also at the mall last weekend. They did fantastic every time they performed. The solo recital they both performed perfectly, and worked really hard. The ward party was funny because they called and asked us to play a piece. Abbie really didn't want to so Avery and I planned to play Joy to the World. At the last minute they were short on musical numbers and asked if we could do another one. Abbie stepped up to the plate at the last minute and did a beautiful job playing a solo. I think all their performances turned out nicely, and we are looking forward to a few weeks off from school and practice.

It's like a Where's Waldo at the Mall. Can you find Abbie and Avery. hehehe
