Danny and Rachel had their annual Piano Recital. They did a great job. I love hearing them practice their Christmas songs all the time while they get ready for the recital. Danny took a little time off during the first half of the year, but we're so glad he started back up. And Rachel is really developing into quite a pianist.
The kids made homemade gifts for their secret siblings this year. They each got to get out of school early one day to do their shopping and make their gift in secret. Danny made a blanket for Ruby, and she sleeps with it every night, Rachel made an indoor hopscotch game for Aaron, Aaron made a blanket fort kit for Seth, Seth made some balloon poppers for Danny and Ruby made a friendship bracelet kit for Rachel. They had a lot of fun making an giving their gifts.
We made candy trains with the Deans. Such a great tradition.
The first weekend of Christmas break we went up to Utah for a whirlwind visit. We hung out at Grandma's. We visited BYU and went bowling on campus. And we watched a BYU basketball game with Casey, Kami and Boston. It's so cold in Utah, we were happy to come back to our perfect Las Vegas winter.
We went to the Springs Preserve for their Holiday Spectacular. It was pretty great. The kids did a train ride, a huge blow-up slide, face painting, made ornaments, and rode on real reindeer (ponies). The weather wasn't too cold and we all had a great time. We even bought year passes to the Springs Preserve so we can visit more often.
