Spencer Clan!: Christmas Happenings!!

We've had some fun things that we've gone too for Christmas. So I thought I'd just do a little list and add pictures of each thing. I love this time of year!! Here we go!

1. Magrath Old Time Christmas - This was last Thursday night. We almost forgot about it, but my kids came home and reminded me all about it. The nice thing about it this year was we weren't freezing....at all. It was so nice out. I loved it!! Ha ha! The kids wanted to see Santa to begin with so that's where we headed. We stood in line for a bit but we visited with everyone in line so it made time go by fast!! Then we wondered around and checked out the different booths. It was a fun evening!!

2. 6th Ward Christmas Party! - We had this on Friday evening. We got there and found a table and visited with people. The kids had fun running around with other kids. Then it was time to eat. After we ate and had dessert it was time for the program. The kids went and got dressed up and were on the stage for the whole program. I was so impressed. All the kids did so well. They stood there so quietly and then when it was time for them to sing they did amazing. It was a very nice program. Then it was time to go home. I loved it. Not too long......but just right!!

Abbi was a cute little Angel!!

My two cute Shepards!

Brianna was my beautiful Mary!

3. Setting up the train track around the Christmas Tree. DJ decided that he needed to set up his train around the tree. So he did that on Saturday. Brianna helped him. Then they had fun playing with it and loading it with candy canes!!

Nothing like eating candy canes and watching the train.

4. Ice Skating - I mentioned this in the last post. But now I have a few pictures!! DJ hasn`t gone back to skate yet. But I think he will eventually. I went and took picture of my girls skating around. Cadence cracks me up. She just shuffles around everywhere. Ha ha! I love it!!

Abbi having fun skating around! Love her big happy smile!

5. Decorating Ginger Bread Houses - So we did that this week. The kids were super excited and we did it for FHE! We always get two houses and divide the kids up to decorate. They always have fun. I notice that they take the task more seriously now and are very careful in how they decorate it. They want it to look really nice!! They all did a great job!

I have to say that this one is my favorite!!! The real meaning of Christmas!

7. Dressing up Brownie! - I found a Santa suit for a puppy and a reindeer one too. We had fun putting them on Brownie. It was hilarious. When I was putting the Santa suit on him he fell over on his side and stuck his feet up in the air. It was so funny. He wouldn`t stand up! Ha ha!

Abbi and Santa Brownie! Ha ha!

He wanted those cuffs off his paws!!

Now he`s a cute little reindeer!

8. Making chocolates with the Paxman`s!!! This is turning into a yearly tradition for all us sister`s to get together at mom`s and make chocolates. I`m loving this tradition. We got together last week and made the fondants. Then yesterday we came to do all the dipping. I ended up bringing my kids. They were huge helps and I`m so happy I brought them. They helped dip and helped keep the little kids happy and entertained. Love that my kids are so helpful!! We finished in record time and Megan brought us pizza for dinner.
