December was a record short month. The time just flew by. Here are some of the highlights. The pictures speak for themselves.
Ornament decorating
Heber Creeper North Pole Express
Hawker holiday party
Christmas up in Idaho
I got this Knex Big Ball Factory when I was a kid. We actually found the home movie where I opened it which was pretty cool. Lots of people pitched in to help build it and it was a blast. Mom said it felt like someone snuck in and opened up a present when we were working on it the day before Christmas. The kids spent several hours entertained by it watching it go. Pulling it out and building it was everything I hoped it would be and more. It was like getting it all over again. The sound of the balls going down the different tracks brought back so many memories of childhood.
Kathryn organized a caroling group here with the jingle bells we got from Santa on the North Pole Express.
Christmas Eve candle light dinner.
Dad reading from the scriptures. Adding in some sections from the Book of Mormon was fun.

Eliza was so excited by the bear in her stocking she didn’t even bother to take it out!
We enjoyed some great musical performances.
Visit up to the Petersons. We really wished we lived closer together. It was so much fun to go see them.
