Tis the Season

What a wonderful time of year! I love Christmas and all that comes with it. Crafts and cooking and parties and so and so on and so on. We decided to make our own ordaments and let Ashley paint them and she loved it.

 

It snowed last night and Ashley finnally got to play in the snow. We got something like 5inches and it is still snowing but we are really enjoying it so far. It is cold but not too too bad yet. Ashley is loving the snow more and more each day.

First thing she did was lay in the snow

First snow angel

 

We went downtown SLC to walk around the temple to see the Christmas lights. Ashley loved to be there and see the pretty temple and all the lights. It was really busy but we still enjoyed ourselves.

Tonight we had our ward Christmas party which was really nice. We got to know more people in our ward a little more and enjoyed some really good food and of course Santa.

We told Ashley Santa was going to come and she said she was going to sit on his lap this time. (We went to the mall and she refused to sit on his lap only wanted to tell him hi)

Santa came into the room and Ashley got really excited and looked at me and Said "mom Santa is here he is here." She waiting in line and was every excited walked up to santa and sat on his lap and was very excited about it the whole time. I don't think she said a word to him the whole time but she sat on his lap so it is an improvement.

I like how they are both looking at each other!

 

 We do have a good ward we came out to guys cleaning the snow off our van and helping us out. I am thankful for people that are willing to serve and help us in the snow.
