And to all a good night

December is full of fun and sweetness.  It's everyone's favorite time of the year.  Here's part of ours.


Before a BYU game, Grandpa wrestles with the kids




The ballerina has her recital.  =)




And Halle's most recent attempt at mascara:


Ok, before you start thinking that she has a lot to learn about applying it, I want you to remember Halle's first attempt, and notice that she's getting closer and closer:


We make gingerbread houses at Grandma's house with all the girls & aunts



And mine:


We frost cookies.  I'm not sure where the most frosting ended up, but I don't think it's on the cookies!



And our Christmas Eve traditions.  The gifts come down from the arch,




We act out the nativity.  You do see the wooly sheep, right?


Chaos ensues, as per the norm.


All is assembled

And finally, displaying the blankets Grandma Mel made us!!!
