December 1 - Our elf on the shelf, Zamboni, brought our Christmas jammies with him when he came down from the North Pole. Ya gotta love the pj tradition!
December 7: Bradley was supposed to travel to a hockey tournament this weekend but it was reduced to this game. He was pretty bummed that the tourney was cancelled because Matt and I booked our weekend plans under the assumption that he'd be gone so he missed out... :(
December 4-7: Since Bradley and I were otherwise engaged this weekend, Matt took Lauren, Will and Owen on a trip to Disneyland and California Adventure. Lauren's highlights were: Lightsaber wars, chillin' at the hotel, and drawing classes. Will's were: riding the Matterhorn, Space Mountain, & Big Thunder Railroad. Owen loved: making and warring with lightsabers, California Screamin', and loving and being with my family.
December 12: Girl's night out to the Alex Boye concert with Nana and Papa.
December 13: Brunch and Santa at Oakridge in the morning, Gingerbread houses in the evening with the Turner family.
December 19: We tried on all our ski gear and Owen snuck out to go swinging in his thermals and ski boots.
December 20: Annual Pierce Christmas Party
December 22: Grandma Marla and G&G Pierce gave Owen money for Christmas and he knew exactly what he wanted to spend it on... we went to Build-a-Bear and he created a new friend that he named Jack Finn.
December 25: CHRISTMAS!! This was the best Christmas in recent memory... everyone was happy, loving, excited, giving, and grateful. It was a perfect day!!
December 26: Sleepover with Owen and Lauren at Grandma Marla's house while the other boys are at Bradley's hockey tourney in Arizona.
December 28: Quick stop at Chuck-E-Cheese for a short date with Owen.
December 30: Sledding with Owen and Tyler.
December 31: The whole family is back together just in time to celebrate the new year by skating on the Kaysville Ponds.
Bradley outlasted everyone and stayed at the pond until it was too dark to see the puck. I picked him up and snapped these final pics of 2015. Oh how I love this young man...
That is a bunch of fun that your family had in December! :D The thing that stood out for me the most is the look on Owen's face at the drawing class, Lauren is totally engrossed and he looks like someone made him go to the class; he even looks that way when he is holding up his picture! :D:D:D
ReplyDeleteWhat fun memories and we girls did have a great time, even though it involved a full day of shopping! :P :D
