Christmas Eve & Christmas


New robe for Christmas Eve.


Hamming it up at Christmas Eve dinner.


"I can't believe I got this!"


"Too many presents. I need to sit and rest on my new bean bag chair from my Mom."

WHAT??


She figured out how to get static electricity in her hair.

Madrigal Dinner


Here we are at our table. This is a Renaissance dinner, where all the choir kids are in Renaissance costumes. They sing and entertain. It is kind of like a little play, where the guests are part of it.


Here are a couple of girls who gave Jaquoy and Kiera bracelets for singing to them. The girls were so excited.


It was a long night.


At the very end everyone lit a candle and sang a song.


Here is Jaquoy with her candle.

The Nativity Celebration


Cousins all going to see the Nativity Celebration at the church. There were hundreds of nativity sets from all over the world. I wanted to take some of them home with me.


Our ward primary made a nativity poster. Kiera made the swaddling on baby Jesus.

Skier


We bought Kiera some skis so we could all go skiing this winter. Here she is ready to practice on them. She was much better with balance than I expected her to be.


Vincente wants to try too.


And ... she's off!
