It's Beginning to Look a lot Like Christmas...

Here is just some of the fun during the holiday season!

The kids were super cute taking turns being on the stool to put on the decorations on the tree. Jane could not stop talking about the tree and how big it was!

 

 

We had a few nights of driving around to look at lights. This is one house that we stopped and got out to see the setup they had in their garage. "Santa Bob" was giving out glow sticks and candy canes.

Livermore had a live nativity that we went to for FHE. It was a big production.

They had a downtown Bethlehem that you could check out all their little shops (and even make things), real animals, an angel that came out of the top of a tower, singing, and a star in the sky.

One of my favorite traditions is candy trains. We had our neighbors across the street over. The kids had so much fun eating candy, playing and running around!

I taught preschool at the beginning of the month. The kids were super cute with their reindeer hats on.

We saw Santa at our ward party. Zac told him that he wanted trucks and cars. We figured that would be an easy one for Santa. Jane on the other hand was a little shy and Lee told Santa she wanted a doll.

There were MANY walks around the block to check out Joe's house. She is a older lady who for every major holiday decorates her front yard with stuffed animals and nik-naks. In fact, these pictures are just the beginning. She brought out a million teddy bears later on in the week. She also invited us into her house to check out all the things that made noise. The kids love all the decorating, and so does she.

Preschool party. Decorating cookies and program of a few Christmas songs.

We got pizza again this year and took it to the light parade in downtown Livermore. It was cold, but the kids loved it. They are super cute waving at everyone throughout the entire parade!

We got together with the Haymans and Speirs and Tyler Paxton (who was in town) to see the temple lights. We always enjoy getting together with them! The kids had fun running around the fountains and then we all enjoyed some yummy pizza and eggnog at the Speirs house.
