Christmas 1- Parties

The first party of December was with my mom's side.  The kids did great with Santa!  
Ben just kind of looked up at him and waved.  
We also went to see the zoo lights at Hogle Zoo with some of Dan's family.  
Thankfully the carousel was open- the kids' favorite part.


Ready to warm up on the drive home.  
We walked around City Creek...
and saw the Macy's windows.
We attended our ward Christmas party.  The primary kids all sang Rudolph.  Don't you love McKenna's Christmas sweater/zebra pants combo.  
Dan's dad even sat on Santa's lap
McKenna was pretty excited once again to sit on the big guy's lap.  Her list to him was pretty consistent all month, "A pink pony, Snow White coloring book, and some surprises."  :)

Ben, on the other hand, was less than thrilled this time.  
Gotta love these kids of pictures.  
Another highlight was the Nelson Family Christmas party.  
McKenna got to be an angel in the Nativity with her cousins Kate and Whitney.  
Waiting to go on.  


Dan's Grandfather said the head count was 118 people!  It's a good thing they had a gym to fit us all!

Love this sweet face! 
I got a little group of girl cousins to sing Mary's Lullaby too.  
It was so lovely to be able to see and spend so much time with our wonderful families and friends!
