Christmas

We began our Christmas season by going to the Festival of Trees. For those who don't live around here and aren't familiar with it, the Festival of Trees is an annual fundraiser they do to raise money for Primary Children's Hospital. Hundreds of decorated trees are donated, as well as wreaths and quilts and other things. It's so fun to walk around and look at everything.

They also have various groups perform. The Salt Lake Scots always perform one night. They did a GREAT job!


Chistmas time means no school for 2 WEEKS! It's always a much needed break...for both me and for my students! I took advantage of my free time by doing some crafting. I found this cute gift idea for 'snowman soup' (hot chocolate, marshmallows, Hersey kisses, and a candy cane) and made a few to give away. You can find the printable here if you want to use it next year! :)

I also pulled out and completed a snowman craft that I started LAST YEAR (horrible, I know). Notice the awesome lantern by it...Tyler bought me 2 of them as an early Christmas gift. Love them!


On Christmas Eve, we stayed over at Tyler's parents house. We loved being able to spend the holiday with them!




For Christmas dinner, the whole family got together at Tyler's parents. Tyler's brother Ryan, his wife Kate and their daughter Jane were able to fly in from Hawaii. It was great having them here!

For Christmas, I gave Tyler a part for his Vespa that holds a spare tire. He would have had to order a different seat for it to all fit on there right, but Tyler, being the amazing handyman he is, took his seat apart and changed it so it all fits. I swear, he never ceases to amaze me!

We had a wonderful Christmas! Hope you did too!
