Christmas Bells are Ringing

December has been a lot of fun this year with all the Christmas festivities. We were able to see the temple lights at Temple Square, we decorated our real tree that smells delicious, we drove around and looked at Christmas lights, we watched christmas movies galore,went to Christmas party for Marks MBA class, have done Christmas crafts, Emerson had friends over to decorate cookies, it has just been a wonderful season over here. 

Eliza loves to hangout by the tree

 Mark & Justin shipped all of the "Imperial Harvest" games one weekend so we spent a few days in Pocatello which these boys loved

 This cute face was peering at me from the shopping cart

 Movie day on our first big snowfall- I implemented a snowday so I wouldn't have to leave the house :)

 Ms. Eliza keeping it chester classy. We discovered Eliza does not love the gum drop pacifiers like emerson did and prefers a Avent ones.... Well the only Avent ones we had were leftover from Emerson with mustaches.

Emerson insists that the Christmas house lights and Christmas tree lights are on 24/7. "But mom I just need them on so it's Christmas" 

 "What are you doing buddy?" Emerson : "Catching snow bugs...." Who knew?

 Eliza in her happy place under the tree

"Emerson what are you doing" "Trying to see the star better..." This kid cracks me up
