I'm just catching up on all the pictures because we have been so busy. I wish Christmas time has less parties. I understand that it is fun to do, but we are always out and I would rather be in on the evenings relaxing under our tree. We had our ward party Saturday and I performed in the Stake Christmas concert Saturday and Sunday. And on top of mutual, rehearsals, visiting people, temple night, work parties, relief society dinners, and practicing for MORE performances...I get a little burnt out. Ben is a trooper to come along with us every night, but poor boy is a little sick today. Why does Christmas have to be so full of busyness? Anyway, I shouldn't complain. Events are fun to do, I just would like it to be more simple.
Anyway, here are some pictures of December so far. Ben has liked pulling the ornaments off the tree, but he has done a pretty good job of leaving it alone. I love watching his expression when he sees something light up.

| Ben said he wanted a basket ball. Don't tell him we already have one. |
Playing in the snow. I know he needs better gear...but it hardly snows here...maybe I'll buy him some snow pants next year when we can drive to the mountains to sled.
