December was super busy around our house but we were able to participate in many neat activities and events. First off, Christmas concerts...there were many of them. 2nd grade was in one for school and Gabby had a solo part, Robert performed with the Gila Valley Chorale and Jazz group, my piano students (including all 3 of my kids) had a Christmas recital, to name a few! The light parade was a hit. The kids had all kinds of fun stuff going on at school including crafting, movie day, and gingerbread house decorating. Despite all the busy-ness, it was a wonderful time to celebrate Jesus Christ. I love the quote from Pres. Monson that says, "To catch the real meaning of the spirit of Christmas, we need only drop the last syllable and it becomes the Spirit of Christ." There is no better time to see the goodness, happiness and love of Christ than at Christmastime.
After spending a fun day on Christmas Eve with friends, we had a little time as a family before bedtime. Carter read 'Minerva Louise on Christmas Eve' to everybody and the kids opened the gifts they had bought for each other.
