On Sunday, December 28, while Sabrina and I were waiting for her mom to take a shower, we played with her new tools. It was funny to watch her put the belt on and really want all the tools to go into it where they were supposed to go. Then, she wanted to use her screwdriver to put the screw into the wood. She is so funny when she gets something in her head of how to do something.
I forgot to mention that Christmas Day was fun. There were a lot of presents to open and fun times. :) Tami was in charge of getting presents out from the tree. I was helping her to organize them. This picture was after we had already gone a couple hours of opening... Christmas was very fun, but we always miss dad.
So, on December 26th, we as a family took the train to downtown Salt Lake to see the lights on Temple Square. They were so beautiful, as always.
It was so cold. We were all bundled up,as Tami shows. I think her smile was actually frozen like that. It was a fun night. Here are some more pictures.
This is a picture I got up looking up at a tree. There were so many lights on all the trees.
This is a picture of the temple with a nativity floating in the reflecting pond on the east side. It was all so beautiful.
We had Christmas at Sharon's house. Their new house is beautiful. We all had dinner in the dining room and then we had a program. It was a nice program about the nativity and the significance of each part. The kids all did a talent.
Before the program is when mom shot this classic picture of Tami, the kids and I. I thought it was completely hysterical!
Yes, I am being obnoxious. :) On the first full day we got to Utah (Dec. 23), we had a private birthday party for Sabrina (Debbie's little girl). Her 3rd birthday was on the 12th of December. We had a brunch with her and then opened presents. She is so cute. She got a cute tent and some outfits, so we put the tent together and then she and I got in it and I helped her try on the clothes and she did the fashion show.
After the present opening, Sabrina and I had to make a dessert for her mom. As you can see Sabrina was a big help!!!
So, I have to start at the beginning. I am in the primary presidency and we had a ward fireside with the primary doing a nativity. It's a tradition in the ward. So, thanks to my mom's wonderful photography skills, this is the only picture that turned out (I love you mom!!!!). I'm surprised she got one, the kids were very wiggly. I love the children of our ward. They each have their own great personalities.
