I love December, it's always FULL of parties. We went down to my moms for the Jerusalem dinner and it was so nice. It was an extra special one for me because the Monday before we used our new 'little people nativity set' (thanks the Grandma and Grandpa Fox) for Family Home Evening. I used the little toys and told the kids the Christmas story. Trig thought it was so funny that Jesus slept on the hay where the cows eat and Josie couldn't figure out why they couldn't just stay in a different hotel. Anyhow it was nice to retell the story and try to explain our family tradition of the Jerusalem dinner to my kids.
Shawnee's grandpa passed away so I took the kids down a few days early to visit with her family, they have a special place in my heart. It was nice to get together with these ladies again. My mom was nice enough to let us revert back to our teenage ways and stay up way to late visiting. She made us cookies and hot chocolate and I loved catching up with them.
 We love to stay over when the Whites are there too. We were lucky enough to hit Grandma Great's Birthday while we were in town also. We took the kids over to sing to her. We sure love that awesome lady!
