Starting Christmas

Christmas starts early at our house. Grammy and Grandad came in Nov and they help buy and put together a swing set for their gift. The kids love it and it is big enough for Gavin.

Paris has been begging for a doll stroller. I got one after thanksgiving and couldn't wait a whole month for Christmas, so we gave it to her early.

I love this sweet girl. Isn't she so cute sleeping with her baby.

Brody loves Christmas decorations. Totally got that from the Parker side of the family. I gave Brody a tree for his bedroom. He liked it but wanted a star for the top. Dad made him a paper star and he said it looked like a snowflake. Then Uncle Mike made him a cool paper star that didn't look like a snowflake, but Brody did not want one made out of paper. So I spoiled him and he picked out a star at the store that lights up and is pretty much the same size as the tree. He also wanted to get lights for the outside of the house. I let him get 1 strand of lights that he was very excited about and put around our front door.

Paris got dressed for the Ward Christmas party she picked out a pretty dress and then put on an Angel headband.

The kids went and sang with the primary. Gavin and Paris started playing way to much and I had to pull her down. And down went the light decorations with her. She was kind of disrupting.

Santa came to the ward party this year. So all the kids went to sit on his lap. Paris didn't want to wait her turn.

Temple

We hope it doesn't take long to finish. We went to take pictures of the family.

 Across the street is a park. They kids loved playing there. Gavin loved the climbing rocks and didn't even want to see the ducks because he wanted to climb.

Grandpa and Paris

 

Gavin has no fear of anything.

The ducks really wanted food and got mad and tried to bit Grandpa.

Now when we tell the kids we are going to the Mesa Temple all Paris talks about is wanting to go. I think she now associates the Temple with playing at the park.
