Christmas Eve!

We had a GREAT Christmas Eve today!  Early in the day Scott and Carla and their family arrived to celebrate Christmas with us.  True to tradition, a bunch of us went over to the Oscarson’s home for dinner, went caroling, and then went to our house for the nativity play and dessert.  We had a wonderful time.  The food was great and the caroling is always fun!  We had to doctor up the nativity play yet again this year to accommodate for more parts!

Everyone had a great time!  It is so much fun to see everyone dressed up in their make-shift costumes.  It’s kind-of corny, but the spirit is there and every year has been memorable.  After dessert and everyone left, the kids went out to sprinkle reindeer food on the lawn and then go to bed!

Christmas Program at Church

Today, we had our Christmas program at church.  Our entire family (except for Ben) was involved.  Zach played prelude music on the piano before the meeting began, the three girls sang in the choir, and Angela and I were both the readers for the program between hymns.  It was a lot of fun!

Sarah Home!

Sarah came home for the Christmas break today!  Yea!  We picked her up from Midway airport and were so excited to see her!  The boys were especially excited.  They have missed her so much and have talked about her all the time.  It will be nice to be all together as a family for the next couple of weeks!  🙂

Ben’s Bad Teeth

Ben has bad teeth!  Over the last 6 days, he has had 7 cavities filled!  🙁  We need to get him of the sweets!  We brush and floss his teeth really well, but it’s not helping.  🙁

Sarah goes Bowling!

Tonight  BYU played San Diego State in the Poinsettia Bowl!  It was televised on ESPN, and Sarah was there!  The game was AWESOME and BYU beat San Diego State 23 to 6!  Go Cougars!  There was a sign there that we thought was absolutely hilarious…  it said “The Mayan world may end tomorrow, but the Aztec world ends tonight!”  🙂  We recorded the game in hopes that we would see Sarah and right toward the end, we did!!!  We were so excited!  We were taking pictures of the TV screen for posterity sake!

She had such a blast down there!  At first she was kind of bummed that she couldn’t come home, but after being down there one day, she forgot about that!  She said that they had so much fun that it was almost sad to leave the band and come back home!  🙂  Go Cougars Football, and go BYU Marching Band!  🙂

Ward Christmas Party (Breakfast) & Basketball

It’s gingerbread house time!  The boys and I decided to be festive a little early this year and we built a gingerbread house together!

Today we had our Ward Christmas Party.  Instead of the normal family dinner, we decided this year to do a breakfast with program and then Santa visit.  We thought this would be a much easier thing to do and be better for the families.  Part of it was also a service project, making baskets for less active and non-member families.  We had a great time!

Zach missed a bunch of the party due to a basketball game, but he made it back just in time to finish breakfast and to do some of the service.  Kirstyn was in the same boat.  We had fun and delivered the baskets we decided to take.

Kirstyn Winter Concert

Tonight, Kirstyn had her Winter chorus concert and they really nailed it.  They sounded so good and we were really impressed!

Even the boys were quiet and listened!  That’s a pretty big feat!  Great job Kirstyn!

Collage Concerts

Over the past 2 days,  Metea had their annual Collage concert.  Brittany participated in it and as always, the event was top notch and absolutely WONDERFUL!  It is no wonder that District 204 is awarded “Grammy Gold” status in the high schools almost every single year.  The talent is absolutely amazing!  Brittany’s orchestra did a fabulous job.  Due to scheduling an “behavior concerns,” Angela and Zach went together last night, and and Kirstyn and I went tonight.

Great job Metea!  Go go Mustangs!

B-Ball, Crazy Sweaters, and Parade

Today was one busy day!  Zach and Kirstyn started out the day with their basketball games.  Both of them won!  Zach got his Basketball pictures as well.

Zach and Kirstyn then helped out Anderson’s bookstore in an annual parade (not 100% sure but it was something about a Christmas kick-off).  🙂  They had a blast, and they each got a gift certificate for helping out!

Angela and I then went for the evening to the Byer’s home (some friends of ours) for an ugly sweater party.  It was really fun and we got to know them better as well as a bunch of other people from our Stake.  The food was great and so was the company.  We played all sorts of get to know you and team games.  There were some real ugly sweaters down there.  Angela thought she had it in the bag, but she got beat out.  🙂
