We had a great Christmas this year! We were super blessed! I just love this time of year, especially spending time with friends and family and thinking more about the Savior and all he did for us. Here are pictures of our Christmas time highlights....

My awesome Mommy friends! I think this is what I love most about Escuelita! |
Then we had our first encounter with Santa! We saw him a Wal-mart and got free pictures!
|
Abby did Great! |
|
Isabel... not so much |
Since then Isabel kept her distance when Santa was around. The kids got to go to the ward Primary Christmas activity, I was not there (I think I had to teach a Zumba class or something). But the kids had fun.
