Christmas Time

It has been almost a month since I posted, so I have some catching up to do! It has been a very busy, fun holiday season for us. Charity is finally old enough to have some idea of what's going on, so thta has been fun. I have been busy trying to geteverything ready for whenever this baby decides to come so that I'm prepared for anything. I guess I will start off with our family Christmas letter. I had a school project to make a front page of a newspaper, so I decided to do it on the last year for our family and have it double as our Christmas letter. I had a blast doing it, and I think it turned our fantastic. So here is the end product:



Another fun thing we were able to do this year was being on our church's Christmas float for the Niceville Parade. The theme was a Victorian Christmas, so we got to get all dressed up and wave to people as we rode through the parade. Here are a couple pictures from that:






We also had a Christmas party at our house for all the intern's at the hospital with Hyrum, and even got Santa to come! The kids loved having him there.





Lastly, the other night we were able to go to a live interactive nativity where you get to dress up as the characters. It was a wonderful experience dressing up, then taking a hayride around the development to see the different lights being displayed. And I have to say, Charity and Samuel made the cutest angel and shepherd ever!






Just two more random things, I finished my first semester back at school, and got my first 4.0 since middle school! I was very excited. And my big sister Rachel is pregnant with her third child! That makes 3 girls in my family pregnant, all my sister's except Camilla. It will be so much fun for cousins growing up together! So there has been our holiday season thus far. We have loved getting Christmas cards from many of you and seeing how your families are doing. We hope you all have a very merry Christmas and remember the reason for the season. :)
