December in Picture Form

 Our ward Christmas party was an "Ugly Sweater" theme. This little girl's "ugly" sweater was pretty darn cute being worn by her!

 Me and some friends at the Ugly Sweater Christmas Party.

 Emry loved singing with the Primary kids!

 Wesley loved the desserts (Also, we realize that the sweater Ryan is wearing is an actual ugly sweater even though it doesn't look very Christmas-y)

 Decorating the Christmas tree while listening to Christmas music is probably my favorite thing to do with my family! It puts you in the Christmas spirit so easily! Also, this was the first year we had a fake tree. Emry kept telling everyone who came to our house that our tree was fake and we weren't going to get a real one this year.

 Family decorating... I was proud of myself for not being too OCD and actually letting the kids decorate. It made it more special to have us all participating even if the tree didn't look "perfect"

 Hot Coco has become our very favorite thing ever so we had to have some in our Christmas PJ's after decorating the tree.

 This girl loves snow so much this year. It really dumped on us two days in a row so poor Ryan was out there shoveling early in the morning before he left for work and Emry was right there beside him. She was in heaven!!

 These cuties have been having so much fun together lately! Especially at bath time. Emry always gets Wesley laughing which sends Emry into a laughing fit! Fun kids!

 Running errands and Emry holds Wesley's hand and says, "Mom, take our picture." She just knew she was being cute!

 Dancing around the Christmas tree!

 He's the cutest

 They were watching a show and Wesley climbed right up on Emy's lap. Emry just held him there like the good big sister she is!

 We went to see Santa and Emry was excited to tell him she wanted an Anna and Elsa dress and that she had been good all year.

 Wesley was having none of it and was clinging to Ryan so tightly like he was completely terrified.

 We had this table set up for awhile after one of our family parties and this little man loved sitting at it so much. He thought he was so big!

 One of my new favorite traditions: going to see the "tree of life" at the Draper park. I love going to Temple square to see the lights but it is far and really cold to be outside for so long so this was just perfect. The trees were amazing, the kids had a blast, and we didn't all freeze our tooshies off...
