Thursday, Dec. 1, Dan and I attended a Jazz game with some of the Websters. Dinner at Chile Amore before!
Friday McKenna had youth choir practice for Prelude to Christmas and then went to her friend Kendyl's BD party. She made gingerbread cookies and went hot tubbing!
Saturday was quite busy! We got groceries in the morning then attended Ethyn Puzey's baptism. McKenna and Ethyn have been in the same primary class since nursery! Then we met up with my siblings at Festival of Trees! This is the first year it really dawned on me that by purchasing tickets, we are contributing to a wonderful charity. We were just enjoying the sights!
Some of the favorites included anything Frozen, a lighthouse tree, Star Wars, and Tsum Tsums.
I also loved the Candy Land and Fairy Garden trees.
We got home in time for Bethany to take a nap, give the kids baths, make some brownies (with Anna's help)...
...then head to the ward Christmas party! The youth created this lovely photo booth corner. Unfortunately, Bethany was not 100% herself. She had a low fever and was still not sleeping well.
The kids were divided 50/50...loving/hating Santa. So funny!
The primary also dressed in Nativity clothes and sang a few songs.
Sunday we attended our nephew Charlie Stewart's baby blessing!
In the evening we attended the First Presidency Christmas devotional and McKenna got to come to a meeting in the conference center for the first time!
Monday this poor thing (poor both of us really) was so exhausted! It's like we were sleep training her again. She would scream for at least 30mins when we put her to bed, then wake up at least once in the middle of the night and need to be rocked for an hour or more!
Monday evening was the kids' Christmas Concert! The kids did great! Can you spot Ben?
Ben's songs
McKenna's songs
Tuesday I taught the letter Ll at preschool. We colored a Lego guy, had licorice and linguini for snack, did leg exercises, made Lls with our body, and played library.
That evening we went to the Utah vs. UVU basketball game. We had some extra tickets so the Holdstock boys came with us!
Wednesday I went visiting teaching. In the evening I went on a date with Dan and the Priests to look at Temple Square lights! It was only in the 20s so it was not my favorite climate. ;)

Oh. My. Gosh! That Santa picture is my favorite! Poor Anna looks terrified!
