It Is Almost Christmas...

The Monsivais Family Christmas party was last weekend. The pageant was a great success as usual.
Zoe was such a good Mary. She kept praying.

Josh made the perfect Joseph. Zoe was so happy to have her favorite cousin play the lead with her.
Carson was one of the three wise men.
Parker wanted to be a lamb, but he had to settle for a shepherd. He did a great job though.
Sam was happy to crawl underneath the coffee table.
We had a visit from Santa too. When he came in the door, Zoe was so excited she almost cried. The kids all went and got a gift from him.
Anthony took some fun pictures of the frost on our trees. The morning looks so peaceful when everything has snow on it like this.
Zoe went to her best friend's birthday party at Chuck E. Cheese and she got to meet Chuck E. Cheese. She got way into it.
We took the kids to see the lights at Temple Square. I was not as impressed. They have cut back on a lot of the lights. The kids had fun though. Sam kept yelling, "Whoa! Whoa! Whoa!"


Zoe gave me the double thumbs up. That is how you know it is good!
Sam's hat kept falling down on his eyes. He would yell, "Mom!" and we would stop and fix it.
He was a good sport about it and laughed every time.

Loading all of those pictures made me think of this picture. This is one of my favorites. It is a little blurry, but I think it adds to how fun the picture is. This was Sam when he was five-months-old and we took him to see the zoo lights at Hogle Zoo.
This is Sam with his first snowball. He was so fascinated with it. Then when he realized that it was cold and melting, he was done.
