christmas time againmy uncle, david judged all the gingerbread houses this year. my house won: house santa would most like to visit on christmas eve. yay!

last night, we were able to go the christmas carol at the ACT theater downtown. we love it. we had reservations at PF changs but at the last minute they called and said their power was out..... so da da da daaaa.... outback saved the day again.

the entire gang. honestly, this is my favorite tradition of the season. i was sad (not too sad though..) to leave tagg at home with this first official babysitter but i still managed to eek out a little bit of fun with these guys.

at the ACT theater. we had to wait in a big line to get this scenic shot. it felt like disneyland with the tourists.

the girls. i look like a freaking shrimp!

my favorite little elder. we were SO EXCITED to have taylor join us for this tradition (we started it while he is was on his mission). we didnt sit right next to each other during the actual play, but i kept looking over at him to see his reaction. he loved it!

the aloha boys! on monday morning, these guys (plus my dad) are off on a christmas vacation to hawaii. i know they are going to have a great time. i better get one amazing souvenir....

my family. we never get sick of each other. if that isnt a christmas miracle, i dont know what is.

a couple weeks ago, we ventured out to get our christmas tree. it was incredibly cold but tagg still had a great time.

in between all the photo-ops he totally helped us pick out the best one.....

the finished product. i love the window effect in this picture. it looks like we have ten trees! happy christmas everyone!
