• Monday for Family Home Evening we went to Alpine to visit a live Nativity. We kept hearing about how awesome it was and Monday was the last evening it was being put on so we bundled up the kids and went out. It was super awesome. Live animals like sheep, camels, and donkeys for the kids to pet. Roman guards to "keep everyone in line", a Jerusalem market with dozens of demonstrations and of course a live nativity scene. Luckily we went early because the line was enormous when we were leaving but it was a touching experience.
• Here is the crew with the three wise men.

• We stopped at Wendy's on the way home. Here is Boden doing is current "huggy" thing. He hugs you really tight while saying "huggy, huggy!" Luckily for him he's darn cute because most days by the time Todd gets home I'm just grateful Bodee has made it alive one more day:) He is completely and utterly a two year old boy!

• On Thursday for Activity Days I let the girls make homemade lip gloss. They then put in it little containers and then wrap them up for gifts. It was a lot of fun but as a self reminder... Vaseline gets EVERYWHERE and never fully comes off, especially with 20 girls. LOL! Always an adventure!
• It snowed a lot this weekend. Brynn spent TWO hours outside rolling a HUGE snowball. She didn't want to make a snowman, just a HUGE snowball. Funny girl! She did it.

• Friday night was Todd's work Christmas Party at Prime Steakhouse in Park City. It was DELICIOUS, the kind of dinner we would never go to on our own. Todd works with really fun people so the company was great. Todd's boss not only treated the couples to a wonderful meal but also gave each wife a generous gift card to Nordstrom. Wow! (Plus a fancy date night with my hubby)...Merry Christmas to us!
• Saturday was the Bassett Family Christmas Party. Cathy went above and beyond and provided everyone with a great party! The kids decorated cookies, played BINGO and other games, filled neighbor gifts, and got to visit with Santa. 
• Here are cupcakes to celebrate Todd's December Birthday.

• These are our pictures with Santa. Unfortunately Brynn's was actually a movie, not a still picture...sorry Brynn:)
• Bodee was ALL ABOUT Santa this year. Super cute! He couldn't wait to sit on Santa's Lap. He asked for a Buzz and Woody from Toy Story. Brynn asked for twin baby dolls (right from the hospital) and a double baby stroller and a camera with games on it. Addy asked for dangle earrings and the game Operation.
