Christmas 2012



































We had such a wonderful Christmas season, truly the whole month of December!!  Amy loved her caroling season with Madrigals so much.  She had such a fun car with Molly, Evie and Marissa and they became such close friends.  I am so glad that she took so many fun pictures during the season!!  We were so glad to get cute Sarah home from BYU, she looks SO cute and darling!!  We went on a fun outing with our dear friends the Buhlers to go find tacky Christmas lights and had SO much fun!!  I think we will make it a tradition.  We went for a night time drive to see all of the fun lights that we missed with the Buhlers!!  We had many choir concerts with the high school, middle school and the Madrigals.  Once the Shipps came to town the partying really began:  We went to the National Christmas Tree, to the Temple lights and to the Pacheco concert and then the best day of the year Christmas eve!!  How I LOVE Christmas Eve!!  Truly my favorite day of the year, love everything about it, the excitement for Christmas, the joy of family, our traditions, just everything!!  I love our Christmas Eve program and this year was the best ever!!  Christmas day was fabulous and it was wonderful to talk to Matthew on skype!!  The rest of our break has been so fun, we saw Les Miserables, went ice skating, has done lots of shopping and just enjoyed being together!!  I love my family so much and love celebrating the Savior.  I was so proud of my girls all singing with the choir for the Christmas program and Jenn, Amy and Sarah sang a beautiful trio together, they were amazing!!  I am so blessed!!
