We're doing a better job inviting our camera to accompany us to activities, but it's a work in progress. Some of the Christmas events we've attended, minus any visual proof include our ward Christmas party (great night with LOTS of people; Elizabeth and I sang with the ward choir and the girls loved the lights, music, and food), a craft and gift fair down in Spanish Fork, a family dinner celebrating my birthday (thanks everyone again for the love and gifts!) and our BYU Telefund Christmas banquet. We've also managed to watch most of the Church's Noel DVD's and last year's staple during our drive to ID/WA, A Christmas Story (or as Kadence lovingly dubbed, "Ralphie Christmas"). These fun activities sure add to the spirit of things!
Here is one tradition we've started--the BYU Christmas party. It's simple and fun, plus how can one turn down all-you-can-eat Creamery donuts?
At the entrance. Kadence, for some reason, is pretty big on nutcrackers...even though we don't have any!!
The BYU SA sets up several booths. The girls colored, did a cake walk, watched fishing (they didn't actually want to GO fishing), etc. Kadence's favorite, by far, was the balloon pit. Love static electricity's contribution to her hair!
We didn't want to wait in line for an hour to visit with Kris Kringel, so this Santa sufficed
Tayah was mesmerized with the large Nativity set.

Sounds like you guys have had a busy first 1/2 of December! Just a correction, though: the President's Family Christmas Party is put on by the Events Management Team (my previous employer), NOT BYUSA. It's very important to make that distinction. :) Not like it makes a difference to anyone else... Personally, my co-worker and I were in charge of the 2005 party, which I'm sure was the best one you've ever attended, right? Right? :)
Wow! Looks like a fun party! I think my kids would have stayed in the balloons the entire time, except to eat the donuts! It was fun to see ya'll last month...looks like you're still keeping plenty busy!
