Christmas Felder-style

We were able to head over to the Felder's to spend Christmas Day.  What a feast!!!  Grandma Linda really outdid herself and there was enough food for an army... or the Felder boys!!!  The kids got spoiled by Grandma Linda and Papa Doug- actually we all did! :) So grateful to have such a great extended family.  

Christmas 2014

Well we weren't sure how this year was going to turn out.  After our Christmas tree fell over TWICE while fully decorated, we were a little nervous at how this holiday was going end!  (It turns out that a tree stand with a maximum capacity of a 6 foot tree, will not hold an 11 foot tree!! Sheesh!!! They just don't make tree stands like they used to, I guess.)  So after buying the super, jumbo deluxe tree stand, Christmas cheer was back on in full swing!!!  The kiddos opened jammies Christmas Eve, and then waited for the big guy and his reindeer to come.  Christmas morning was filled with legos, barbies, and super heroes.  We also built the kids an art desk filled with markers, crayons, and paints.  It was a hit!!!  We are so grateful for a wonderful holiday and the many blessings that we enjoy.  We are so blessed.

Christmas Eve

So our favorite Christmas Eve traditions did not disappoint this year.  First we got together for the gift exchange and talent show.  Paige sang and Wyatt danced.  I wish I knew how to put videos on here because it was sooo funny.  Wyatt was dancing and doing flips and he landed on his back... HARD.  He just kinda laid there for a few seconds and said "Ouch"... then he got right back up and started again!  After the talent show, we decorated cookies for Santa.  After the party, Chris and Dad went and looked for needy families that they would give gift cards to.  They also donated hats and scarves to the Dixie Care and Share.  It was quite a memory.   That night, we bundled up and went and delivered presents to our "secret families."  It was an amazing day. 

Christmas at the Rest Home

We went to the Rest Home with our neighbors to sing and dance for the elderly.  Our neighbors, the Farnsworth's are very musical, so they put on quite a performance!  Paige sang and danced-- she was quite the performer... she even sang a solo of "I Stand all Amazed."  It was amazing.  Brock and Wyatt joined in the fun with a rousing rendition of Jingle Bells... they are not too musical!! :)  It was so much fun and a great chance to do service.

Paige's 2nd Grade Program

It's been so fun this year to help in Paige's class.  She has the cutest class and the BEST teacher ever... seriously Mrs. Decker is amazing.  This was Paige when Elsa and Anna came to visit the class-- so cute. Then Paige in her 2nd grade Christmas program.  She was the best singer out there!!  Finally, a pic of Paige's cute class with their holiday antlers!  It has been such a great 2nd grade year.
