Sing along and temple square

 This was the most beautiful December picture for me. Ryan teaching the boys how to do the dishes!

 Collin had a sing along at school.

 We went to Temple Square to see the lights this year. Can you see Evelyn in there? It was chilly.... somewhat.

 We rode Trax which was a HUGE deal for the boys.

 They had a choir singing in the visitors center and the boys were mesmerized.

 We also went to the zoo and the tiger growled VERY close to us!

Random Dec 2014 pics

 Collin reading to Evelyn. I thought this was so sweet.

 Check out this December walk weather again! No jackets needed for little boys, just baby girls and mommies.

 Seeing a neighborhood nativity.

 Checking out the presents.

 Evelyn often times lives in this bouncer. She is almost getting too big for it now (she is five months old), but it comes in VERY handy.

 This picture was funny to me.

 Liam got quite the loot at his school Christmas party! Geesh!

Nativity scenes

 My cousin told us about this stake in her neighborhood that was doing a bunch of nativity scenes so even though Ryan was working, we headed over. I LOVE nativity scenes, but this was truly amazing.

 The pictures don't do it justice but they had like 350 nativity scenes from all over the world. I couldn't study them as much I wanted since it was me against three kids, but it was really amazing.

 This was a huge life sized one on the stage.

 Then they had a huge table in the middle that replicated Bethlehem and Jerusalem.

 Whoever did this really spent a lot of time on it. They also had a dress up room which the boys LOVED.... here Collin is being a wise man.

 Liam loved to be the sheep.

 Liam was also a reindeer.

 And a coloring page room.

And they also had hot chocolate and cookies and a movie room. It was really fun!

Santa visits the man store

 The first Saturday in December, Ryan had to work so I braved all three kids to the man store to make some fun yard decorations.

 And to see Santa! Evelyn didn't look super thrilled, but the boys were!

Ice cream and Gardner Village

 On on early out day, we went to get ice cream (cotton candy blue with gummy bears anyone? ) and the boys loved it as you can see by the lips.

 Then we went to Gardner Village.

 In our lightning boy costume of course.

 Look at this December weather!

 We found Liam's name on the "naughty" list so I said do a naughty face Liam. The result.

 Collin didn't see his name on the list so apparently the jury was still out.

Evelyn slept most of the time we were there, then woke up at home. Man, looking at this almost two months later, she has so much more hair now!
