I love all the Christmas activities we do together as a family. It is such a fun time of year. I know it can be pretty busy, but I so enjoy doing all the Christmas stuff. One of the things we do every year is go to the Festival of Lights in Spanish Fork, and eat at a hometown burger joint in Spanish Fork too. The kids look forward to it every year. This year we also went to Temple Square. It had been a few years since we have made it up there, and I really wanted to go this year. We picked a perfect night to go. The weather was nice, and it wasn't very crowded. I love the wonderful feeling you get as you step onto the temple grounds. The kids liked going into the tabernacle. We also reminded Brody of the one year that he fell into the fountain. I think we have a picture of him, wearing Wyatt's coat. The fountains still are a favorite of all the kids though. I tell them to please not fall in though. A few other things we have done are: The Nuttall Family Christmas party, with all my Aunts and Uncles, and Cousins. It is fun to see everyone,even if we do kind-of stay in our own little groups. Garrett actually goes to school with my cousin's daughter(small world.) After the party, my parents came down, and brought us our Christmas gifts. They have started doing that, the past couple of years, so it is not so crazy on Christmas Eve. I think it is a great idea, then we get some one-on-time with them. We got some great gifts. Their gifts to the grandkids, is always a day out with grandma and grandpa, and their cousins. What a great way to create wonderful memories. Our gift was a beautiful picture of Christ, and a pressure cooker. I am excited about both. Anyway how blessed we are this time of year to have so much.
We celebrated Christmas with Wyatt's family a couple of days ago, and I will post some pictures later.
Merry Christmas!!
