More December...

To continue our December shenanigans we decorated a gingerbread (Shopkins sugar cookie) house.
 These 2 were the judges and were making jokes the whole time.
 This little boy loves his bouncy chair!! He's such a good sport and spends more time in it than he probably should...
 He loves to sleep in it too..
 In the middle of December we celebrated Doug's birthday.  We celebrated a day early because he was going to be with Sophia at Star Wars the next night.  We set up a surprise dinner for him.
 I think he liked it!
 He liked his Star Wars gifts too.
 On one of the Saturdays in December Sophia made us all breakfast.  We got to pick what we wanted.  This was Mabels...
 Speaking of that cute girl, she makes a pretty cute reindeer!
 Love these little Christmas outfits that were Lewis'.
 Sophia also won a Reflections award at the council level.  She missed the ceremony because of Star Wars so we went in her place.
 The day after Doug's birthday the girls had a Christmas show with their dance studio.  We got a crazy amount of snow a few hours before they were supposed to be there but we made it.  It was crazy but fun. Lilly danced to "Rockin Around the Christmas Tree"
 Mabel to "I Got A Cold for Christmas"
 and Sophia to "SparkleJollyTwinkleJingly" from Elf the Musical.
 The show was adorable and the so was the set.  It was absolutely crazy having the show so close to Christmas and there were 4 shows in 1 weekend but we perservered!
 Love this baby looking at the lights on the tree.  There's something extra special about having a baby at Christmastime.
 After one of their Christmas shows we went to Wendy's and had these awesome toys in our kid meals!
 Here's our Christmas card we sent this year.
 Crazy kids on a Sunday afternoon.
December wouldn't be complete without frosting sugar cookies!
 We also went to the Festival of Lights in Spanish Fork and waited in a crazy long line.
 Santa Benny!
 He looks so grown up in this big chair!
 And I love his cute little duck boots from our friends the Tanners in our Payson ward.
Because things weren't crazy enough a few days before Christmas I decided to have a cookie exchange with some friends. It was a lot of fun and we all left with some tasty treats!
 Sophia also was in charge of an Elf Academy at Girl Scouts.  She did a great job!

 2 days before Christmas my niece Maddy got married.  My girls got to be the flower girls.  They were thrilled to do it and I thought they looked beautiful.
 The wedding party.
 Love this girl.
 The bride and her family.
 The flower girls.
 The cute couple.
The bride and her amazing mother.
 The bride and her awesome dad.
 My cute family!
 Stole this from my nephew's snapchat.
 Caught this sweet moment during the ceremony.  Lewis loves his grandpa.
 Cousins with cousins!! Emma is the oldest cousin and Bennett is the youngest!
 Silly Lilly.
 Enjoying some cake!
It was a beautiful night and we were glad we got to be a part of it!
