We were super late taking our Christmas card pictures this year. I really didn't want to do it but I knew we had to. I finally got everyone to get ready for church a little early so that we could take a few shots.
We also went to Temple Square to see all of the Christmas lights. Not all of the kids wanted to do this and it was more of a forced family evening together. Jason and I were feeling super sentimental since this is our last Christmas before Blake leaves. We got to the temple early this year before all of the evening crowds got there and it was so perfect. We left about 1/2 after it got dark so we could see the lights. I think this is how we are going to do it from now on. It's empty during the afternoon.
I still hadn't made any neighbor gifts by the middle of December and I wasn't sure if I was going to make any. I just wasn't feeling it this year and it is so so much work! Jason decided to take measures into his own hand and he made some chex mix. He wanted a Christmas treat so he did it himself! He's gotten really good at the chex mix. The only problem? He doesn't like chocolate in his.
The last week of school before Christmas break, Livy was coming home with nice gifts from her friends! What the heck? She was so concerned about giving her friends something so I printed off the mustache things and we had all the makings for the bottle cap necklaces. I was able to put these together in about an hour, while Jason and I watched a show. Livy was happy with the results the next morning and I told her no more gifts!
I found this cup in the tree one afternoon. Jason decided our Christmas tree was a good cup holder.
Olivia's class had a Christmas program at school one afternoon. They did a bunch of little scenes from a bunch of plays. It was cute, super long but Livy was so excited to be Sleeping Beauty in one of the plays.
