¡Feliz Navidad!

We have had such a fun holiday season. We started off with an early Christmas present of a membership at the state museum. We are excited to spend some quality time at the museum.
The kids didn't visit Santa this year, but we did sit in his throne.
This time we went to see The Polar Express in 4-D. It was awesome with smells of hot chocolate and fir trees and snow.
We were less impressed with The Star of Bethlehem show at the planetarium.

We made goodie plates for friends and neighbors. I finally figured out how to make the divinity!
We didn't get out of school until really late this year. When we finally got out, we went to see Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker and we LOVED it.
We loved the reclining seats, but I was bummed that my seat warmer didn't work.
We had a big Christmas Eve dinner and invited the missionaries to join us.
I didn't feel like doing a turkey so I made ham and it was so yummy. I think we will do ham from now on.
We have also swapped mashed potatoes for salt potatoes.
I have to confess that our nativity is a little pathetic, but we still enjoy doing it. We were grateful to have two more players with year.

I made Jalen a Clemson hat.
 Baylie got scriptures with her name on them.
After the opening - so hard on my Type A personality.
It has been a beautiful holiday full of tradition and thoughts of our Savior. We don't have to go back to school until January 6th so we are looking forward to several more days of relaxation and family time. AND FOOTBALL!!
