December

We love December and all of the festivities that come along with it!  Here were some of our December adventures!
Em at the live nativity


We got TONS of snow in December... and have never been so happy we didn't shovel the driveway.  The kids had a blast out there.  Ours and everyone else's.  I had 14 kids out there one day! 

Van and his buddy Logan watching Planes one freezing day. 




I started making my own rice milk.  SOOOO easy and a big money saver for us! 



Emery had her Christmas Sing at school.  They did the cutest rendition of Rudolph - they were great! 


I finally learned how to make my mom's famous English Toffee!  And Em helped!  Everyone in the neighborhood loved our Christmas treats! 



Hanging out with Grandma, building a fire truck. 



Grandma's glasses and iPhone.  Oh, this baby!

We had some Dutson cousins over while their mom was having the 8th and final Dutson baby!  Yeah for baby Ellie! 

We spent a cold afternoon at the zoo and saw the beginning of the zoo lights! 

We took cousins with us.  Emery and Missy are such cute friends.  They held hands almost the whole time at the zoo.  




Cute kids building a fort

Izzy was playing the harmonica and LAUGHING!!  Sweet sisters! 

Izzy was riding the horse around the top of the stairs... and then she rode it down the stairs.  Good thing Aaron was vacuuming and caught her 4 stairs down.  

We went on a date and saw the lights at Temple Square

We hosted Candlelight Christmas Stories at our house - a Wilkinson family tradition from when Aaron was growing up.  Grandma and Grandpa delighted the kids with their fun Christmas stories. 

We hosted the annual Christmas party with my friends this year.  We're all having babies before July is over (including Maggi... who is in NC).

We saw Santa at the Riverwoods




And took a blurry and freezing sleigh ride at the Riverwoods too.  Man, it was cold!!! 
We made gingerbread houses at Grandma's. 

Here are some of the poses I get from Van lately when I ask him to smile for a picture.  

Funny kid!
