It's Beginning to Look a lot Like Christmas

 Jaren is so proud of his Turbo ornament.
 Our crazy, but awesome tree.  Love all the memories the ornaments hold.

 When I saw our stocking on the wall this year, I couldn't help thinking, "Holy crap we have a ton of kids!".  Wouldn't trade it for the world.
 Tradition...tradition! Tradition!
 Some people think they're too big to get on Dad's shoulders now.  Others think it's too scary to get on Dad's shoulders (Claire and Stacy).


 The delight on this boy's face when he experience his first snow was priceless.  He even stuck his tongue out.  It was pure awesomeness. Moments like this make being a parent the best!
 We participated in Crystal's December project...run a half-mile 6 days a week, outside.  As you can see, our first day's weather wasn't too shabby.



 Jaren did a fantastic job singing and saying his part at his preschool Christmas program.
 We went to the Jazz game mid-December.  Check out the temperature at 10:00 P.M.  Crazy.
 Our seats we on the second-to-last row.  Vertigo anyone?


 60 degrees one day, snowing the next.  And, Nathan took Tyce outside shirtless to get the mail.  Tyce actually thought it was great.
 Claire preformed in her Christmas Dance recital.  Last year, she stuck her tongue out at us to be a stinker.  This year, her tongue stuck out in concentration.  Think Michael Jordan.  It was great.
 Miss Claire and her silly cohort Izzie.
 We did a puzzle together as a family.
 Jaren snoozed by the tree.
 Aww...waking up to snow on Christmas morning. And these next photos are all out of order.  I'm much to lazy to fix them.

 Mis with her new Kindle Fire Santa brought.
 Mallory was secretly wanting a pegasus she could ride on from Santa.  Unfortunately, Santa couldn't deliver that.  Thankfully she still enjoyed her stuffed animal pegasus and a new Lego set.
 Claire asked Santa for a bike.  Guess she was a good girl.
 Jaren and Libbie shared the same idea for what Santa should bring...a WiiU.
 We hired a babysitter and took all the girls to The Forgotten Carols.  It was also my first time going.  LOVED IT!

 Caleb, Marci, and their boys joined us on Christmas Eve.  We did the traditional cookie decorating, soup, new pjs, and The Muppet's Christmas Carol.  It's always a fun night, full of anticipation.

 Tyce and Finn wrestled a bit.
 Jaren's cookies for Santa. :)
 Opening new jammies.
 These two are great.
 The bros.
All our kiddos in their new pjs. Claire, Mals, and Mia also got matching ones for their American girls.

 Christmas Morning.
