Looking forward to Christmas

We spent the week before Christmas and after finals having fun and counting down to Christmas day. Here are some of the fun things we did. 

We went to Breanna's Christmas dance performance. I love going to dance concerts so naturally I loved it.


Sunday we went to the Cottonwood Heights production of  The Messiah. My mom and Janessa are in it every year, and every year it is fantastic. It's a great way to remember Christ.

We went to look at the lights on Temple Square. We were lucky- it was supposed to storm that day but didn't, so the weather was nice.

Nielsen Christmas party. Santa came to visit and we had a Christmas dinner with all the family there. We always look forward to this every year. Abbie especially enjoyed finding and eating a candy cane and playing with the older kids.

One night Brandon's mom had everyone over for a nice Christmas dinner. Unfortunately I forgot to take any pictures. We gave our secret buddy gifts and played a bunch of games. It was lots of fun!

 We went to my family's house for our traditional Christmas Eve.  We had a yummy dinner, opened our Christmas pj's, gave secret sister gifts, read the Christmas story, and enjoyed being together as a family. Abbie wasn't really into the whole opening presents thing.
