Angels We Have Heard On High

I know I'm biased, but Sage is the prettiest angel. She danced to Angels We Have Heard On High and did an amazing job. We love the dance studio where she is taking classes and love her teacher. She looks forward to going to class each week and has so much fun. She was anxious to get back stage and wanted to do another dance. Harper threw a huge fit and kept screaming, "I want that!" and pointing to the stage. She wanted to badly to go up on the stage and dance with the girls. Each week at dance class she cannot wait for the end of class when they do their goodbye dance because then she gets to dance for a minute. In fact, I have lost track of her a couple times because every time I turn my back she runs off and I can almost find her interrupting the class and trying to dance with them. At the end of the performance all the dancers were called onto the stage to thank the teachers and get a little treat. Harper sat on stage right next to Sage like she belonged there. Another few months we will have another little dancer on our hands. 

Grand America Window Displays

This is our third year visiting the Grand America's window displays and gingerbread house. We love this tradition. 

Temple Square Lights

We love going downtown and walking around Temple Square to see the lights and this year was no different. Sage kept saying how "awesome" the lights were and Harper enjoyed them too. Cannon stayed nice and cozy in his carseat. Taylor surprised me with an early Christmas and anniversary gift and got me a new camera, so it was fun playing with the manual mode and taking pictures with it. The temple and lights really are breathtaking. 

Decorating

I envisioned out morning would be fun with Christmas music playing and drinking hot chocolate as we decorated the tree together. Let's be honest... decorating for Christmas this year really was not very fun. Cannon was fussy and wanted to eat, Sage could not decorate the tree fast enough and was whiny and impatient and Harper didn't want much to do with it and just wanted to do her own thing. I talked her into helping decorate their little tree, but that lasted just long enough to take a picture so you know she was there! And this was the morning after her fun Frozen party, so notice that Sage is in her Elsa dress that she lives in now.

A Frozen Party

My girls love the movie Frozen. Who doesn't, right? But they love their grandma even more. Jeanne threw the greatest Frozen party that she has been planning for months. All her hard word was evident and paid off as all the girl cousins had the greatest time. They played a couple games, ate dinner complete with turquoise colored bread , painted their nails, got Elsa dresses and dressed up, sang to "Let it Go",  received Elsa and Anna dolls and had dessert. It was a success and my girls cannot stop talking about it and Sage lives in her Elsa dress.
