We had a great Christmas Season. We started it by watching the First Presidency Christmas devotional with hot chocolate and pop corn. The kids listened and could tell me the stories.
I got to go with Tessa's school class to a play. I had fun hanging out with a group of first graders and sitting next to my favorite one.
We attended the best Spanish branch Christmas party--it was a lot of fun: friends, Santa, presents for each kid that Santa handed out by name, food, and a great dance at the end.
My friend, Kristin, and I have birthdays right before Christmas, so we try to sneak in a birthday lunch. This year we met Kristin near work and took her out to eat. Hathaway and her friend both think that Kristin is their personal friend, she makes them feel so special.
Oakley's school class did a performance of the Nutcracker--they did a great job.
Here is Tessa's class during the holiday party.

Hathaway had a Christmas ballet recital....very cute.
Hathaway also had a program at school and she sang louder than anyone else---she knew every word.

Christmas Eve we did the nativity and Hathaway really wanted to be Mary.
