Christmas is in two weeks! I think our kids are the perfect ages for Christmas this year--Rhett is so into it and gets excited about everything, and there's just something magical about a baby's first Christmas. I sat down in November to schedule the month so we don't miss any festive fun, and we've been doing lots of fun things lately!
Building gingerbread houses at Home Depot. Rhett was very proud of his handiwork.
Meeting Santa and Mrs. Claus at the library. A fantastic event with no lines, crafts, and fun treats for the kids.
Rhett found us the perfect Christmas tree. In the King Soopers parking lot because we're classy like that.
This is our first year getting a real tree, and we love the smell and ambiance, but getting it to stand straight was a nightmare. And then the tree fell over after we decorated it and some of my favorite childhood ornaments broke. I'm still mourning. So now it's propped up with cardboard under the tree skirt and no one is allowed to touch it, but darn it, we have a real tree!
We've been getting more into #LighttheWorld this year, and Rhett has been awesome about it. Here he is dropping off a toy he picked out for the toy drive.
Preschool Christmas concert. Highly entertaining.
Santa's Village at Winterfest where it was 65 degrees and we were sweating. I watched so many kids try to climb into the little house.
Our Relief Society Christmas party with so much soup and bread and so many songs I had to play on the piano at the last minute. But it was good and the spirit was there.
Cufflinks craft shows! Rhett is learning the family business young.
Putting Christmas lights up on our house! This was a moment of pure adulthood/manhood for Andre. (And I'm glad my dad was there to logistical support--ladder on the sloped driveway made me nervous!)
Rhett, the cheesy helper.
Not Christmas related, but Nana and Poppy finished their mission! They stopped for the weekend on their trek west, and the kids were in heaven.
