Our Weekend of Fun

So we had our last days of being working stiffs this week and it feels great to be free from "The Man!" I've had to work Saturdays at all the jobs I've had since I joined the work force ...10...12...some years ago, and so it was nice to not have to work and to just hang out with the fam and do family things. We did our annual ginger bread houses at Grandmas! A Christmas traditions since I young and now we're doing it with our kids! To see the instructions on how to make such an easy and glorious house, check out my design blog! http://chicityourself.blogspot.com/

Later, we went outside to play in the snow. L hated getting his winter clothes on but he later learned it was totally worth it. He loved the snow!

"I can't put my arms down!"

Once there was a snowman...

Tall,

Tall...

TALL!! But no it hasn't melted yet, it's too cold out!

I'm doing "12 Days of Chic'ness" on my other blog. http://chicityourself.blogspot.com. Check it out! I just posted a project I did, it's easy and makes a great gift!

The First week of Christmas

We've been having a lot of fun so far this Christmas season! Last week we went a ward "Christmas Breakfast with Santa." The events were as follows, Lincoln went from excited, to confused, to scared. But that's what I expected and it was good entertainment. Thanks son, you always make me laugh!
We also had the opportunity to go to the 1st Presidencies Christmas Devotional at the Conference Center on Sunday. It was beautiful. I felt privileged to be able to hear the Tabernacle Choir sing the Handel's "Messiah" live. They also sang one of my all time favorite Christmas songs "Oh Holy Night" But mostly listening to the speakers talk about the first Christmas touched me and always starts off the Holiday season right.

I love how Santa is like "We're best friends" and Lincoln is like "Get away from me!"
