Christmas 2019

Our Christmas Eve traditions have become my favorite... caroling with our longest Logan friends followed by some sort of activity.  This year we went to the jump zone.

The kids opened up their Christmas pajamas and we took our annual Christmas tree picture.  I love all these little people so much it hurts sometimes.  We sang carols around the piano, performed our first ever Lefler Christmas musical extravagnaza (story written by Marae and each of the kids performed something in it - it was adorable and a new tradition for sure), watched the Santa tracker, put out cookies, watched the nativity, and soaked it all in.

Lefler Christmas Grandkids

Laura bought all the kids matching outfits for Christmas and wanted a picture with them all (minus the France cousins).  It turned out so cute.

Behind me (the camera) Mason had busted out into a full on tap dance.  It sure sounded pretty wild complete with hands and lots and lots of jumping up and down to get those smiles.  It worked bc everyone was smiling!

Santa Visit 2019

We went out to visit Santa out in Paradise.  A photographer was running a special.  The kids got to visit with Santa and we got some beautiful pictures.  I snapped some over her shoulder while the kids told him what they wanted.  Boonie still believes in Santa so all the kids were so sweet with him.  Except Wyatt who was certain we were handing him to a murderer.  Adelyn, who is very shy, was even brave enough to tell him what she wanted.  I love these pictures the photographer caught so very much.  Even the ones with Wyatt howling.

Gingerbread 2019

We decided to get our old group of friends back together this year for our annual Gingerbread party.  We had invited our Hollow Road friends but none of them could come except the Burtenshaw's so we invited them anyway!  We came in first place with our Baby Yoda entry and the Cannon's came in last and Liesl did a great job singing to Ryan.  😂

The kids looks forward to this tradition every year too.
