Happy New Year!! Wow!! 2013!!!
Whew! I am a little embarrassed to admit, but I am a little happy that Christmas is over! It is fun and exciting and wonderful, but as all mothers know, it is SO MUCH WORK!
We had a wonderful month of December and we did some fun things (although there's always a list just as long with things that just didn't quite get done - but there's always next year!).
Hannah's preschool sang for the parents. They are always so cute and Hannah (& Heidi) always sing loud! (Hannah's the 5th kid in from the right)
Lindsey & Kate have joined the Longview Elementary Choir and they performed "Jingle Bell Jukebox." Our school has about 425 students and over 100 of them sing in the choir - so it's a lot of fun! Lindsey sang several lines of a song as a solo and Kate was thrilled because she got to dance with Kage, her cute friend.
Becky & John and their kids came into town on the 22nd. (It's such a blessing that they live within driving distance). We all met at my parents house that Saturday night and were treated to PF Changs by Candy. There was so much food and it was so delicious! Thank you so much Candy!
Then, we went down to Temple Square to see the lights. We were there about an hour and the lights were great. It was really crowded, but it's still just amazing!
Like an idiot, I forgot Hailey's coat, so we tried to keep her bundled up in the stroller.
On Sunday, December 23rd, we had the annual Olsen-Sorenson Christmas party. It's always so fun to see all of our cousins and extended family. Richard Olsen had set up a Christmas tree in the middle of the tables and it had a picture of everyone! I should have counted them all, but it was impressive!
Families are encouraged to share a talent, so we had Pete & Mike sing "Jingle Bells" with Kate, Hannah & Brooklyn.

I can't believe it is all over now! It went by SO FAST. I'm so glad we were able to come home again!! We sure have been spoiled coming home so much this year :)
Good recap of Christmas. I think every mother would agree with you that it's an overwhelming and busy (sometimes a little too busy) time.
Loved your cute pictures.
