The Christmas season was fun and busy around our house. It was our first Christmas in our new home! Here are a bunch of pictures and videos that give a little taste of the season. This year's family Christmas music video Preston did his due diligence and helped Nate hang the Christmas lights. They did it before Thanksgiving, and it's a good thing! The roof has been covered in snow since then. Addison and Nate have made the Messiah sing-in a tradition. They went to Abravanel Hall this year. I love that they're both giddy with excitement about it. We made these cute little guys. And lots of tasty treats. We got these awesome glasses in the mail! They turn the Christmas lights to reindeer and other fun shapes! We strung lots of cranberries for our Christmas tree. The looks on the kids' faces pretty sum up how each of them felt about it.

Here's a little sampling in no particular order of our Christmas season. It was a whirlwind. Nate loves Messiah sing-ins.

But this year he and Addison went on a date to the Ogden Tabernacle and sang their heads off. They both had the best time! Addison still walks around singing  the songs from time to time. Snow, snow and more snow! It has been a very snowy year for us, which I don't really mind. I think it's pretty. And if it's going to be cold and gray, it might as well be snowing, if you ask me. Look at this cute fat little bird on our feeder! He and his friends spent an afternoon out there. Look at all the snow on the feeder! Asa was at first very disturbed by the snow. He didn't like it on his shoes. But now he's used to it...
