Christmas Eve

This year Christmas eve and Christmas were a little different we usually go to the Grange side for Christmas Eve and to the Hoovers for Christmas day but they changed the Grange family parties so we thought it would be nice to be close to home for Christmas Eve since Santa comes and brings PJ's while we are gone to our parties. Plus Bryce had to work so that made it harder too.
So we went to the Hoovers to have dinner exchange gifts and party, It was so much fun the kids put on a skit of the nativity and we got to even see our cousins the Christensen's on the TV, they moved to Washington and so I brought over my computer and we skyped with them. Brundle was a Wise Man
Brittin was a Shepperd
Jersey was an angel
Doing their parts
Daddy videoing
The boys gifts from Grandpa and Grandma Hoover

The kids wanted to take a picture of mom and dad so we let them they took like 20 so i cant remember who took this one but one of the boys did.

Temple Square Lights

We try to go to the lights at Temple Square every December and it felt like this year it was not going to happen because we were so busy but one day Bryce and I both just said lets go it was December 23rd but we made it!
We park the car and ride the "Train" (tracks) to the Temple and back. The kids love it because its something that we don't do but for this.
