This December was filled with traditions...way filled. I swear the entire month went by in a blur. We love beginning the season with a trip to the Festival of Trees. Ab is dead certain that next year she will be creating a "Goodnight Moon" tree in honor of her brother. I am going to do my best to help her...(and hopefully take pictures next year.)
We began a new tradition that we absolutely loved! Abby's teacher belongs to a Christian church in Layton that performs a live "Walk to Bethlehem." It is FREE and very, very detailed and fun! It takes over an hour to experience it with your "family." It was such a wonderful way for Abby to learn about the times and events surrounding the birth of Jesus. Deak, on the other hand, screamed the entire time. But, hey...what's a night out without some screams?
(Getting Ready to See the Lights...)Some of my family went to Temple Square together the Sunday before Christmas to see the lights and "baby Jesus." I was excited to go, thinking Deak would be entranced by the lights...wrong. He screamed again (unless Grandpa entertained him.) I think we've established that Deak pretty much does not enjoy being outside in freezing ten degree weather. Really, who can blame him?
Such a wonderful month full of focusing on being together with family.
Love it.

Funny, I'm surprised we didn't bump into you! We were there that same night (at Temple Square). Funnily enough, though, Em lasted the cold better than I did! Hope you guys had a great Christmas!
