Christmas-time festivities

The Christmas season, as always, begins the day after Thanksgiving, as we search the christmas tree lot for the perfect tree. We had a nice day to go, found a good one, and Jared cut it down, and brought it home. We love having our tree decorated for the season.
 

The Precoa Christmas party was held this year downtown on the east side of the river. It was a beautiful night, and we love getting dressed up, enjoying some yummy food, and being with friends and co-workers.



The kids had multiple opportunities to visit Santa this year. First, at Sleighbells. Our kids have gotten so big for his sled!

Second, at our ward Christmas party. This time, we sent the kids up one at a time rather than having them all pile on Santa's lap!


The youngest kids also had multiple opportunities to partipicate in live nativities. At Valley Christian, Kate got to be Mary, and Liam was a shepherd. The show started with a rousing sing-along (including the ever-loved "Super Duper Christmas" - or as Liam sings it "Sooo-poh Dooo-poh Christmas")




Kate got to play Mary a second time with the Schaffers on Christmas Eve as the kids put on a production of the natavity.
