December Fun (Part 1)

We were super busy this December... Which is very typical for everyone. I love all the parties and time spent together, and, we had so much fun!

Ward Party:

Our ward did a "Night in Bethlehem" which was really nice. They had people dressed up and little shops around the gym for us to get our food. We also had a live Nativity. Some other fun things we did, Santa came for the kids. And, we have a great photographer in our ward and he took family pictures and then they printed one for us.

Dallin and Tayah with Santa. He gave them a picture of Christ and a candy cane.

Progressive Dinner:

My family does a fun tradition at the beginning of the month. We have a progressive dinner, where we visit every one's homes and see their Christmas decorations. Then we end up at my parent's house for dessert. They always give the Grand kids a their big gift that night. That way they have all month to play with it.

If you can't tell, Dallin is pumped to get Super Mario Brothers. I love his face in this picture!

Tayah got Alphie. This is a toy that was out when I was little, and they came back out this year. She loves to play games with this little Robot.

Visit From Santa:

Santa stopped by our house one night, on his way home to the North Pole. He just wanted to make sure that Dallin and Tayah were being good. It came on a perfect night... they had been fighting!

Barker Family Party:

This year the Barker Party was also on Brian's Birthday! But it was good to spend time with family. Santa came to visit the kids as usual.

Grandma Barker always gives the kids a pair of cute PJ's and the kids change right into them. I love this tradition.
