Christmas Activities

We enjoyed celebrating the Christmas season this past month! 

Here are a few of our highlights leading up to Christmas...

Making Christmas cookies and delivering them to our friends and neighbors.  Charlie did a great job carrying the cookies and saying "Merry Christmas" to everyone.  He is our big helper :)

Driving through the Thanksgiving Point light show.  We love being so close to that place!

Having a special FHE lesson about the Christmas Story.

Counting down the days to Christmas with our advent calendars.

Bessman our Elf came back this year!  The boys loved seeing where he would end up each morning.  We wrote letters to Santa and he would take them to the North Pole at night.

Now that Charlie is in Preschool, we get to attend his holiday school programs.  Joey and I went to his school to watch him sing Christmas songs with his class.

Can you spot Charlie?  Bright blue jacket, in the middle :)

We celebrated Christmas together with our Messer side of the family. We drew sibling names for gifts and it was fun to see what everyone picked for each other.

Relaxing as a family was definitely a highlight this year.  We love snuggling up, watching movies & having daddy home to play!  The boys and I are going to be sad when our regular routine starts back up in two days.

We started our Christmas vacation with a trip to temple square to see the lights.  The boys loved them and Charlie said his favorite were the green lights.

It has been years since we have been to the temple square lights so this was a lot of fun!
