December came and went in a flash. It was full with cutting down our own Christmas tree, seeing the lights at temple square, endless Christmas movies and Christmas music (I think I burnt Isaac out on the music), opportunities to serve, visits with Santa and lots more.
^^
this had to be one of the cutest Santa's I've ever met, he was so sweet and fun with Daphne. Daphne LOVED Santa from a distance but was a lot more hesitant on his lap.
^^
December was the month of take out and eating out. Another goal of mine is to be better at cooking meals, we'll see how I do.
^^
Isaac not only cut our tree down but he carried it up a huge hill. This is him at the top, our Christmas hero!
^^
this year after we cut our trees down we had a hot dog roast with some family friends of ours. It was the most beautiful sunny day!
^^
sibling shenanigans. Once the tree was up Daphne could stop looking at it and all the twinkle lights
^^
have you guys tried Sweet Lake Biscuits & Limeade?! If not, run don't walk! You'll thank me later.
^^
reading a Christmas book at Grandma Gayle's. This one does not have trouble relaxing.

more shenanigans from this crazy duo

not a great picture, but this was taken after Daphne's first haircut! She was a little nervous during the whole thing but was easily persuaded with peppermint junior mints...obviously

reading Christmas books together in our bed

Temple square with Isaac's cousin and their family

Christmas movies and music were forever playing around the house

my in-laws took us to the annual Mormon Tabernacle Choir Christmas concert, such beautiful music!
^^
my mom's house in the snow is so dreamy
^^
our annual Osterloh family Gingerbread house (graham cracker house) contest. I went with a simple design this year that got me third place for the "Favorite" category...yes, there were categories. We Osterlohs do not take this matter lightly.
^^
this is the view from my bed, it makes me so sad to think I will have to take it all down soon.
More pictures to come from Christmas Eve and Christmas day!
