Let's make Cookies for Santa!

Yo, Yo, cookie, Yo.

Greg's masterpiece.

This is the gingerbread man that the kids plan to leave for Santa. That lucky guy.

Sunday

The kids got dressed early for church and posed for a few pictures in front of the tree. We had the most beautiful Sacrament service. I love Church the Sunday before Christmas.



Shaun was eager to change clothes and dig-in to the new book that he got from Grandma Karyn.


Steve and Dana came over and we made "Loco Hot Cocoa", YUMMY!!!

Fun with cousins

Alyssa and D'andra


Shea, Alyssa, and D'andra had lots of fun playing dress-up. Alyssa and D'andra were the fashion models and Shea was the photographer.



Shane and Jase were in their own world playing with Shaun's D.S.
Lucky for them Shaun was so involved with Max the dog that he didn't mind them touching it. (A first)!



Shaun LOVES animals and spent most of his time petting and loving Max.

Time for more crafts...we made gingerbread man covers to put on lolly pops.

Making Gingerbread Mansions at Grandma Karyn's

We went to Tucson to celebrate Christmas with Kim's Mom, Sister, and her family.
The cousins had a great time making gingerbread houses and eating LOTS of candy!

Jase, Shaun, and Shane

The boys made a Southwestern mansion and went for a flat roof.

D'andra, Shea, and Alyssa got right to work.

Christmas Piano Concert

Shaun and Shea with their Piano teacher.

Shea played "It Came Upon A Midnight Clear" and Shaun played "Frosty the Snowman"

I only have a video of Shaun playing and eventually I'll look into how to put video clips on the blog.
