We have been loving all the fun activities this time of year brings. This is Jade's first real Christmas experience and she is loving everything from Elvin the Elf, to visiting Santa at the North Pole. We had so much fun this week together as a family.

Grandma Joan gave us this cute FHE lesson to do with the kids this year. It's all about filling up baby Jesus manger with straw before Christmas comes. Every time you do a good deed for the family member you secretly are serving, you place a piece of straw in the manger. We have found candy canes on our pillows, beds made, dishes washed out, less fighting and more love from everyone. It's safe to say that it's working. They love the secret part of it and not getting caught. We draw new names every week.
I love what every straw represents. Thanks Grandma. We will be doing this every year.
Jade's first trip to see Santa at the North Pole.
The boys love this place.
Jade was big enough for the candy cane roller coaster!
We also made gingerbread houses this weekend.
Good job boys! Kael might have a slight sugar high here......
Yummy!
