Christmas Events

The annual APX Christmas party was at Fat Cats this year. There happened to be a Santa there for an elementary school fundraiser, so I jumped at the opportunity to get Avalynn's picture taken with the jolly ol' man. Saying that she did not like him is an understatement!!

When I was a kid each year we got a new ornament that represented something we did that year. I want to carry the tradition on with our kids, so this year Avalynn got a little hula girl from our trip to Hawaii.

We went to St. George for Christmas this year and loved escaping the snow for a few days. Brennen's aunt and uncle had us over for dinner Thursday night, and made some delicious dutch oven chicken and cornbread. Christmas Eve was spent with my mom's sisters and their kids. We went to the Christmas sing-a-long at the tabernacle and then headed home for our annual white elephant gift exchange. As always there were lots of good laughs from the gifts! Avalynn loved opening presents on Christmas morning. After her birthday party she was a pro at the gift opening! We loved being able to spend time with many family members to celebrate the birth of our Savior, Jesus Christ.
