Early in December, we got a surprise visit from Santa Clause.
While we were visiting with him, Kate whispered to me, “I’ve never met the REAL Santa before.”
We visited Temple Square with Grandma Jean and Grandpa Gramps.
It was pretty cold, but so beautiful.
Kate was determined not to let go of Grandma and Grandpa’s hands – even when people got in the way.
We had our annual Christmas program
complete with Joseph, Mary, the donkey,
the angel,
and Baby Jesus. Mary was nice enough to give up her spot on the donkey when Joseph got tired.
Christmas morning led to some fun surprises!
Simon spent all morning playing at that kitchen while the rest of us opened presents.
He broke away long enough to line up some new cars.
Scott and I (mostly Scott) made this awesome car town. Scott added some Texas flare by putting a Rudy’s and an HEB on it.
After Christmas, we headed up to Brad and Chanda’s to have some fun on the wii, eat tons of good food (Brad is the best cook ever!), and get super addicted to American Ninja Warrior. So awesome!
Then, we headed to Jodi’s to celebrate Grandma Baldwin’s birthday.
Everyone had fun with the cousins.
Audrey and Lily had some fun getting pulled on a sled behind the snowmobile.
Okay, by “nutshell” I meant lots of things combined in one really long post.
The end.
