Herriman City puts on a Santa Sing-Along every year. We have gone in the past but not since we've lived in Herriman (I don't think). I thought this was the perfect idea for family night so Simon came straight from work and Dave & Viv met us over there too. I was worried about my kids having a chance to see Santa this year but this was the second time they sat on his lap in a week! My sweet technologically-advanced son (Nick) asked both times for a MacBook Pro. Sure buddy, Santa will make you a $1,000+ gift in his workshop...

 Ahh, to have a toddler in the house! My darling Ricki keeps bringing me surprises from off the Christmas tree. I usually catch her, tell her no in a stern voice, and then have her help me put the ornament back on the tree. However, I didn't get to her fast enough this time so she threw it to me. Unfortunately, it was Kendra's special Grinch ornament she made me for Christmas last year. I may need some help getting through the holidays with this baby!

My cute neighbor, Julie Lattin, had a few friends over today to hang out and let the kids make gingerbread houses. Zack was so into it! He made sure every detail was in place. Ricki and Bridget got a little upset at the same time and I was right by them so I picked them both up. Even though there is only a 2-month age gap, they are definitely not the same size! Bridget is so tall and weighs a little more than Ricki. I was lopsided here but had fun holding them both for as long as my unconditioned arms could take it!

"Some people just get me!" This is what I posted on Instagram about the Diet Coke ornament mom gave me. I LOVE it! And I kinda love Diet Coke too!!

I was already having a super crazy day so, as I was preparing for a Scentsy party, I was not thrilled to find this. The stupid 'Bath Smoothie' Scentsy gave me at convention had leaked all over a few of my warmer boxes. To stay in compliance, you cannot sell a warmer without the box. However, I feel like I will have to deeply discount the warmers since the boxes are damaged. It hardly seems fair but I called Scentsy and there is nothing they are willing or able to do to help me out. Lovely. In better news though, Penney Thomson's party was AWESOME! So no complaints there!!

This was a very eventful Saturday! We started our day off at our ward party in the morning then ended the day at Simon's work party. I witnessed something I never thought I would see - Simon doing karaoke! It was a different but fun holiday party.

As our family was pulling out of our driveway to head to Dave & Viv's for dinner, this was the sky view over the mountains. It was beautiful and reminded me of the wonder that Heavenly Father made for us to enjoy here on Earth. It was breathtaking!
