Christmas Festivities

It's been so fun being Aliza's room mom this year. We had a "reindeer" party right before Christmas break that I thought was fun. They made a reindeer ornament, made a antler hat to be reindeer, played a few reindeer games (haha), and of course had lots of yummy food. I made these cute bags of reindeer food for them to take home. We were all so excited, and ready for Christmas break.



Avery had a violin recital, and did a fantastic job. She did a beautiful job of playing "Humoresque." We were invited to our friends home for a night of Christmas music for FHE. It was a lot of fun. They invited several families over to sing Christmas carols, and each family could perform if they wished. Avery got together with her friend Ellis and they played a violin/piano duet of Silent Night. It was so great that they were able to play it for Sacrament meeting the Sunday before Christmas. I could tell Avery really loved performing for Christmas.




I'm not sure this happened, but it was a nice thought. 


We took a trip to Sam's Town this year to watch the Christmas laser show. Other that the smoke smell, it was a fun show to see.


Everything was decorated for winter, and the best part of the show was that it actually snowed. They had snow machines on both sides of this massive cliff that the lazer show was on.


I loved these cool light up polar bears. I made the girls take one more quick picture with it.



Avery tried out this year to be the "host" for her school Christmas music concert. She go the part and did an outstanding job of introducing each piece for the program. My favorite part was when then tell all the parents to turn off their cell phones, and the rules of etiquette before the program.



Mrs. Canfield the choir director does a fantastic job every year. She always chooses some fun songs along with some fun more serious ones. They sang of not wanting socks for Christmas to Still Still Still which is one of my favorites.
