Pre-Christmas activities

As our kids get older, the number of Pre-Christmas activities increases significantly, but kids make Christmas so much more fun!  

This year Anistyn chose to be part of her school's Christmas choir.  I was so proud of her for sticking with it because they had 3-4 practices a week for about 6 weeks.  It was a lot of hard work, but it turned out so cute.

 Every year on the Sunday before Christmas is Grandma Norris' Annual Christmas Party.  This year Anistyn got to be Mary and she even sang some Christmas songs solo!

 This was our first year decorating gingerbread houses.  Definitely a new tradition!

Stockton was chosen to be Santa Clause for his preschool program.  (I'll do another post about that because Grandma Stacie took so many great pictures!)

And, of course, visiting Temple Square is a must!  It sure was cold, but the lights were as pretty as ever!
