One week in to December...

I can't believe that we are already one week in to December. How time flies! The days go by fast and furious with work, family and church stuff. Sometimes I feel like I am on a fast moving treadmill and I can't get off. It was fun to decorate for Christmas last weekend - a tradition I enjoy doing right after Thanksgiving. Seems like no one but me was excited about it this year, but I love doing it so that's okay. I just hope they all enjoy the decorations, tree, and lights. I hope to have time to sit still and just enjoy it sometime before I have to take it all down!

Today was our church Christmas Breakfast. It was such a fun event! We had wonderful food, and some talents were shared. Becca and the YW performed a few musical numbers and I made a little video clip of part of one of their songs. I was asked to be the photographer for when the kids visited with Santa. Some of them were scared to death! Others were in total awe. It was so cute to see them whisper in his ear, watch their faces, and enjoy their excitement. Don'tcha just love Santa. I sure do! Oh yes! Jayden loves Santa. But his little brother doesn't look too happy.

While Elli was standing in line, she talked to herself about Santa: "Santa is nice. I can talk to him..." Eli was a-okay with the whole thing.

Get me outta here! The Bishopric even sat on Santa's lap!
Carson just had to go back for a second conversation with Santa...
Here is the video clip of Becca...

Looks like your ward party was quite a hit! I love the video of Becca and the girls playing. Ava actually sat on Santa's lap this year. I was worried for a minute, but she did it! And asked him for a reindeer! RANDOM

Karla. It was great to hear from you again... I jump in and read most of the blogs from Corcoran... I read the Asplund's blog from Brittany's and Karli's.. It is so fun to go back in time for a bit each time.. The Adamson's had some pics of the Church house on their blog at Halloween.. I showed them to Bart.. He thought that was fun seeing the sisal wall coverings that he hated... ha ha but he did not get to choose...!! Your kids are adorable.. and they have darling kids.. You are very blessed.. Have a Wonderful Christmas Season..

well looks like you are hitting the ground running in December. Decorating IS a lot of work but everyone loves it when YOU are done. You always have such a fun home at Christmas--we have such fond memories of all those days. Nothing like your Christmas morning brunch.

I'm envious that you have your decorating done. We are back from Korea now and it's time to get moving. I might not have my house decorated but I got to see a new adopted grandson sealed to his parents. What a treat. I'll be posting soon.
