Christmas Kiddos

I wanted to get picts of the kiddos in matching Christmas clothes, They only co-operated for about 30 seconds, so I took a lot of almost identical picts. lol. Oh well, At least they smiled for a couple of them! 

Christmas Parties

This year we had  a couple of church parties. First, the singles ward had their party with BYU catering. . . 

The party going on. .

Carter took over my camera and took some funny picts. .

We had taken our s'mores bar to the party and set it up. 

It seemed like quite a success. :) 

The singles ward had a party in the Wymount Skyroom for the bishoprics in our stake. The skyroom was on our bucketlist for Utah things, so we were excited to be able to check it off! It was great, the food was great, and our place cards were all together with our own wards, so there wasn't even any awkward chatter! 

The centerpieces. . 

Us. . .

I felt so fancy having my name on a place card :) 

random photo. . . Brandins group built a car in class and took first, they were quite proud of themselves :) 

For our home ward (wymount married ward) They did a fiesta theme, that didn't feel like Christmas, but was still a lot of fun! I was asked to take picts for the photo booth, and

BYU pride

So our old Bishop (now stake president in our married ward) has season passes for BYU sports and they were not able to attend all of the games, and lucky us they were willing to share! 

They had 2 tickets to the BYU mens basketball, and neither Brandin or I had ever been. Thankfully Laura was willing to watch the kids so we were able to have a date night. :)  and to top it all off, we even won! 

The blimp at the game

The next day was one of BYU footballs last home games of the season, and we were given 6 tickets! This time we brought the Greens along with us and watched the game, or at least most of it. We froze to death and Kenna was not pleased, so She and Laura and I left at halftime, and Brandin and Carter left 3/4 of the way through the game. But Tyler and Ben were champs and stayed for the whole thing! And happily again we won!! Now we can check it off our bucket list :)
