Last monday night we made our gingerbread houses with Dani and Wade and their kids. Last night we had a fun family home night at the Tuachan nativity play. i will post pics later.
Prego craving! My walks aren't going to be enough with this for 9 more months
Our tree topper this year
Our lights that the kids think are boring and our neighbors gave us a snowman this year. Kinda of fun. Cam wasn't really excited but he couldn't say no to our neighbors.
The nativity Cam's parents gave us one year and every year one always gets broken so we are a few pieces short and this year the little sheep is already broken. Maybe I shouldn't get it out until they are older.Here are some christmas questions that I got off of my sister in laws blog and it was fun to read her answers and I wasn't going to answer them myself until I started thinking about my answers and it was fun to think of them so I would love to hear your answers as well.
Wrapping paper or gift bags?
Wrapping paper under trees on christmas morning but I think it is fun to use baskets, boxes, bags or gift bags sometimes for gifts to others.
Real tree or artificial?
artificial but I bought a christmas tree spray that makes it smell like christmas

When do you put up the tree?
We put it up before thanksgiving because we usually go up north for thanksgiving and it's fun to have it up when we get home plus it's a lot of work to only have up for a month so we usually have it up as soon as thanksgiving is over if not a little before

When do you take the tree down?
It's fun to get everything out and up but I am usually ready to get it all put away a few days after christmas sometimes we wait until the new year.

Hot chocolate or apple cider?
neither-I know boring
Favorite gift received as a child?
I remember when we all got a cabbage patch kid and one year pound puppies my mom made. I also remember the matching dresses my mom would make. I remember when my mom had greg on Dec. 22 and Dad was incharge of christmas this year. Leanne and Dad went to Walmart on Christmas eve and bought random stuff. i got a wooden dog chest that later became our sock basket.

Do you have a Nativity scene?
Cam's Mom and Dad got all of the families a nice nativity set a few years ago. I really love it! I do need to get one that the kids could play with.
Hardest person to buy for?
Definetly Cam. he buys whatever he really wants. Once he wants something he finds a way to get it. All he wants this year is a brand new Tundra. He will go without this year :)
Easiest person to buy for?
Kids are easy but I love to shop for my mom because she needs everything! She is one to go without because her whole life she got us what we wanted.
Worst Christmas gift ever received?
The only thing I can remember is when Cam was on his mission he sent me an entire outfit. Not only was it interesting-it was a size 2. It never fit me and I wasn't about to send it back to him.
Mail or email Christmas cards?
Both. I love to receive Christmas cards but I am not good at sending them. I would like to be better. I made my friend josie and Leanne's christmas cards with a new program I bought so I think we will try to take a picture tomorrow and make one and send one out. I can always count on my friend Deborah to have a cute card and picture and I always get it early and I love it so I wish I could do the same for others. I try.
Favorite Christmas movie?
I like the Christmas Shoes movie. It is so sad but helps you appreciate what you have. I liked Elf and my kids love the santa clause movies-I should say Cam and the kids.

Have you ever recycled a Christmas present?
I always remember on christmas eve deciding if everyone got a fair amount of gifts and if not or if someone was left out we would redistribute the gifts. I remember using gifts my dad got from school or something to give to someone else-a teacher, neighbor or friend.

Favorite thing to eat at Christmas time?
My mom's toffee no question! Cam loves his mom's jam cookies. I will have to learn how to make both. This year I am attempting the toffee to give out as gifts because that is what I remember my mom doing every year and we all loved it! cam just bought the cookie skillets at Tai Pan and that is all I have felt like being pregnant. i think we have had them 4 or 5 times and we are having them tonight. What's sad is that I can eat a whole one alone. I would recommend the skillets for a gift-we love them!

Clear lights or colored?
I remember when people started hiring someone to put their lights up and they were perfectly straight well for some reason I do not like the real straight office looking lights. I like the lights that are not perfect colored or not. There are some colored lights I do not like. My kids think the white lights are boring and they always ohh and awe when we drive past colored lights. They think our lights are boring because they are just white.

Favorite Christmas song?
I love Amy Grant's Chritmas songs of course Breath of Heaven.
Travel or stay home?
Last year was the first year we stayed home and this year we are staying home again and actually having chritmas alone with our little family for the first time. It will be fun. This year we are taking off to California after Christmas but I think it would be fun to drive up north next year on Christmas day.
Can you name all of Santa's reindeer?
Absolutely not! I am so bad.
Absolutely not! I am so bad.
Angel or star on top of the tree?
Star. but this year we have a santa hat because our star kept falling down.

Fun to read your answers. Thanks for posting them!
I can't BELIEVE you said you wish you helped me more with Brigham. You were my life saver!!! I can't even list(way too many) all that you have done to help, but since he was born(9 quick, but also long weeks ago), you have done nothing, but helped me out, what would I have done without you??? I just hope and pray I can help you the way you helped me when you have your baby.
