We always love our family time as we decorate for the holiday --this year we once again had TWO Christmas Trees -My beloved tinsel tree covered in my grandmas antique ornaments (and a few of my 'new' ornaments ;)
We also went on a little hunt (right out back our house to be exact) and cut down this beauty (what we really did, is top the tree because it was much too tall)! Yes, it's a Cedar tree, and I realize it's not an official "Christmas Tree" but it sure made our house smell YUMMY, probably the best 'real' tree we've ever had!
The crazy Christopher Elf visited us all month to keep his eye on the kids, nothing got them more excited than searching for the Elf each morning!
Laex also LOVED our advent calendar, each day gave us a different activity to do and he had a blast looking forward to what the next day brought. One day we got to write a letter to Santa, he did an awesome job!
Another day we got to make & decorate this LARGE gingerbread man, so fun!
Of course I couldn't let December by without an Ugly Sweater party! We invited some couples from our ward and had a fun night of yummy food, white elephants and good company --lots of laughs and good times!
These are our awesome friends the Simmons (also the great people we got to hang out at Lake Powell with) --they ended up with matching mugs in the White Elephant exchange, so funny!
Linda also won the Ugly Sweater contest and was awarded the footie PJ's which she proudly modeled for us all!

Liberti, those ugly sweaters are HILARIOUS! I've never been to one of those parties, but if LeGrand wears another 1st-grade teacher vest like that, count me in. So funny!
