Christmas Fun!

The first part of December, we felt like we had a Christmas party every night. Now that it is January I really miss it.

Hadlee's Dance Concert fell on the night of Grandpa Merrill's Party.


Her class did a ballet number, it was so stinkin cute.



She still had a pretty big fan club there.

Afterwards we stopped by the party and Hadlee showed everyone her dance.

We then had Grandma Glenda's Party. It is always fun to see everyone.

Most of the great grandkids in the nativity.


We had many other fun parties in which I never took pictures. It seems I am always chasing after this one, and one of her messes.

Ivy loved making a mess of my tree. This is the face she pulls when I tell her "NO."

Hanks loves everything about Christmas and unlike his sister, likes picking out presents for others. He loved waking up each morning and finding our elf MAX.


We got to see Santa everywhere, even at the grocery store.


Yes, I even went to the ward Christmas party.

We loved visiting with Santa at Grandma Jakes Party. He always knows the kids by name and knows what they are doing well and things the elf's say they need to work on.

Here is Hads wondering how the heck he knew that......

Ivy wasn't so sure she wanted to see the big guy.

All of the Grandkids.

After that party we got home and loaded Hadlee and Hanks in the car and surprised them by taking them to Disneyland. It was so dang fun.
