The one where it was Christmas

Christmas Eve was spent having a candlelight dinner of paches. They were delicious as usual.





Then we had lots of great performances for the program and opened presents.

This was our digital Christmas card. 

Our tree this year.

In the morning we opened presents from Santa and family. 





For New Years we went to visit the Johnnies in Logan. Sadly Jonas got very sick as we were getting there, and didn't get to join in the festivities. We made a huge pot of Gumbo and it was so beautiful up there. 

The one where it was December

In December we took our annual trip back east. First we chilled and hung out with the Boston Fajardo's and then we enjoyed Christmas in NYC.


We went to the Stardust Diner so Jonas and the kids could experience it. 


Of course we also went to Santaland and to see the big tree. 

We had a ward party and Taye and Zuri sang in the program.

 Jasmine went to Temple Square for mutual.

Zuri sang in her school sing around. 

And there was some gingerbread house making this month too. 

The one where it was November

In November Zuri sold so many chocolate bars for her school, that she won a ride on a limo! They went to Mcdonalds to have kids meals and it was very memorable.

Taye earned his Bear!

 


Shayden performed in Babes in Arms and did a great job singing and acting.



Leah came, and we went to Time out for Women and Jasmine, Ellise and Eva went to Time out for Girls. It was a really good experience.




For Thanksgiving the Browns went to Wyoming so we had dinner at Leonora and Dennis' house. Then we went black friday shopping with the kids.

During the break we went to see the new Grinch movie and we had the entire theater to ourselves. 

We don't know why, but Zildy got invited to a special influencer dinner to unveil the new Light the World machines for the Christmas season! 





We also went to La Caille for the first time to see all of the Christmas lights and decorations on the grounds. It was beautiful and the kids visited with Santa too. 

And we went to UVU to watch a Gospel Christmas concert!
