Decmber 2013 {catch up}

Back in December we were getting ready for Christmas, we got a package form Aunt Ginny with lots of treats and presents. Including those "cars" crackers for the kids(above). We set up the Christmas tree before we left to Florida so we could enjoy it all month. Aunt Ginny also sent snoopy gingerbread houses that Max and Jack had so much fun putting together.

Max had his first Christmas program with his preschool class, it was the cutest thing. And afterwards he took us to their class tree and gave us an ornament he had made for us! I love it.

We also went to dinner and Temple Square to see the lights with all of Mason's family.

It was a good December

Oh Christmas Tree

We put up the Christmas tree the end of November but I am just getting around to posting about it now. Max thought it was pretty funny to knock over the tree, he also enjoyed putting all the ornament's on. I love having our little tree, we decided not to go with a big one this year because we will be in California for Christmas(2 more days!). I can't believe Christmas is this weekend! I am so excited to see everyone,  after Christmas we are flying up to my sister Becky's in northern California for New Years. They have not got to meet Jack yet and I can't wait for them to see him.

Jack had a nice spit up :)

Chrismas Dinner

For Christmas dinner we headed over to my moms house. Max was all cute in his new outfit and had all his new toys to play with. I watched as my mom and Emily prepared the delicious dinner of Vegan lasagna, french bread, a yummy salad, and for the occasion Champagne. After we set the table we opened gifts to each other. We got Emily and Colin a nice Pie plate, my mom a shirt, And nothing for Josh(we saved it for boxing day when Ben and Meggie would be there). My mom gave me a cute brown sweater, Mason a nice shirt, and Max a cute long sleeve striped shirt, a short sleeve airplane shirt and a cool mother goose electronic book. And Emily and Colin got us How to Train Your Dragon on blueray with a yummy brownie mix.

After opening gifts we put Max to bed and ate our wonderful dinner while we talked and just enjoyed being together.
